How? By alerting JWs to "the dangers of the Internet"(you know, where the real 'truth' is found)?
We certainly won't learn about the real reasons behind the switch to a "voluntary donation arrangement". We won't learn why the Society praised the JWs in Malawi for their stand on neutrality (often to the death), while at the same time letting the issue slide considerably in Mexico. Nor will we learn about the relaxation of the blood doctrine during the last 5 years. So why pay attention to the same old "food at the proper time" that's been predigested, regurgitated and recycled?
I suppose the mantra of "new light good, old light bad" has to be reinforced somehow.
