it has often been said that info is power

and that is why thru-out history the controling of info has been so important.

for high control groups like wt the net poses a serious problem

allow me to share what happen just before i stepped aside.

i live in a very HI TECH area the MECCA OF INTERNET

WELL OUR territory according to the local paper has 1.7 computers per households, i know we have 3 ourseleves plus a laptop

well anyway, the last elders meeting i attended the CO expressed a growing problem in the territory with starting and keeping bible studies

as soon as a person starts to study thier family and co-workers download a ton of wt stuff for them to ask question on thier study when the jw returns

Now we all know that unlike the "Disloyal jw" here with all us apostates and dfed folks- your avg jw will shutdown quicker than an ATM machine on the 3rd try of the wrong PIN number, when they are presented with "apostate material"

so they start freaking out and the person sees this reaction

here they are in this person house telling him all that is wrong with his church yet they refuse to even read anything about thier faith EVEN IF IT'S AN OLD WT PUBLICATION.

in fact he mentioned that the bro need to be "BETTER" PREPARED

some of the folks in the terriorty were inviting jw in just to ask them questions about stuff they had downloaded.

so here we have all these jw who are now at a total lost at what to do

so it will be very intersting to see what the future holds for High control Groups like wt
