Hypothetical question posed to the governing body

    OK. This is a Minimus type question. If God, the President, or whoever in a high authoritarian position offered the governing body one choice between two scenarios, which would you think they would pick? And they must pick one of the choices.

    Choices:

    1. Worldwide removal of the internet for 10 years. None, nada, zilcho. Bye bye online businesses and email. Hello snailmail. But there can also be no publishing of ANY literature for 10 years. No books, magazines, brochures or tracts. Only meetings and assemblies can be held with the use of bibles and songbooks exclusively, nothing else. Field service can only be done with a bible and nothing else. (no placing of back issues for you smarty pants people out there)

    or...

    2. Freedom to expand their printing operations in any country they want, with no restrictions. They are even given charitable status for as long as they want. They can be a registered "religion" with no governmental interference in any country, including Russia. There are no restrictions on the use of literature as is typical of today. The catch is, every witness gets their own personal computer with broadband access to the internet forever. They also get one copy of Crisis of Conscience that they MUST read.

    So, which would you pick if you were the governing body? (Extra credit for whoever "gets it" first.)

    I think number 2

    However, why did you put half of that paragraph in white script when you can only read it when you highlight it?

    Country Girl,

    Good Catch. I didn't realize the other text was there. #1 would be their option.
