Finally - after years of shunning the greatest invention since the printing press, The Watchtower gives the Internet a big hug!
Obviously the Governing Body has seen the "new light" that the rest of us recognized nearly 30 years ago and have decided to embrace the Internet as "a gift of Jehovah's loving kindness."
Bottom-line: It's all about dollars and Euros. The Watchtower will put everything on the Internet, have the local Kingdom Halls buy some inexpensive laser printers, and have copies printed locally as needed.
This might eventually backfire on the WT. I can see some talented anti-Witness hackers modifying text and photos on the Internet versions before magazines are printed locally and then watching local JWs passing the boogered copies off as being Watchtower originals.
BTW - For anyone interested, here's my take on the recent letter announcing the changes: http://ex-jw.com/expanded-jw-org-mini-mags-announced .
