oh, ha, ha. First you could download publications as audio mp3 files. Then they included pdf files and finally epub files, files that are easier for all manner of electronic gadgets. But now they have dropped (apparently) the epub files for the study towers and yearbook and maybe others. Just made me curious is all. Maybe they were seeing the use of electronic gadgets and not the actual mags? Anyone else gives a shyte?

Asleep! magazine is still available as an epub, but not the Washtowel... very strange.

Yes. And the public version of the watchytower.

Probably because way too many "brothers" started using iPad's and iPhone's as their Washtowel. I've seen it several times before I left, it must've only increased the last few months. Can't have people accessing the Interwebs to cross-reference their quotes now can you.

Little that they do is without Control as its main reason, especially if there is no other good reason for what they do.

Perhaps the EPUB files aren't finished or had some bugs? I would think if they were going to take down EPUBs to disuade members of the congregation from using iPads at The Kingdom Hall, they would have removed them all. However, there are still issues up to February in EPUB format, as well as some other publications.

Anony M: That's a good point....if Ipads and the like were commonplace in the meeting there'd also be the danger of people surfing the web instead of paying attention. Back in the day, all we could do is day dream or doodle in our Watchtowers.
