As I was doing a search for the KIM V WT case, I saw this in the search hits and found it interesting; a three yr old discussion about WT/JW.ORG 'NEW TECHNOLOGY'...and now it is nearly 2015...they have really fallen in love with the internet, it was interesting to see what they were chatting about then, and how far they've come:

Hi everyone. Sorry that Roy and I haven’t been around for the last few weeks. We are back!! We guess that some of you might be waiting for the new release of Watchtower Library for Mac. It is on it’s way. I’m afraid it has had to go on the back burner for a while due to other responsibilities. Our apologies for the delay.
This is Roy’s plan, although I don’t fully understand it – maybe you will.
Version 2.0 will have the following features:
embedded X11 (techno babble for that you won’t need anything else, it will run independently);
assistance for non-Roman input i.e. Chinese, Kanji, Japanese, Greek etc;
better printer integration; tracker speed problems;
various bug features that have been reported i.e. grey screen; double pasting.
If there are any other features that come to mind, please file them as a Feature issue at the developer site or post a comment below. However Roy’s to do list is the Feature and Bug list on the developer site found here.
Then, there is a: COMMENT SECTION [ Comments (162) ]
So, now, here we have what I've been trying to get the bros at bethel and for them to suggest that johnny the bethelite be the boss of the project.....A JW SITE WITH AN INTERACTIVE WAY TO CONVERSE WITH OTHER JWS ABOUT JWS, ETC.
The question to ask wt is , still: WHY ARE THESE SITES BECOMING PROBLEMS FOR YOU AT BETHEL NOW? WHAT IS WITH GOING AFTER PEOPLE FOR COPYRIGHT INFRING WHEN IT IS YOU WHO IS PROMOTING THAT EVERYTHING ON YOUR SITE IS GREAT FOOD FOR EVERYONE...SO WHY IS THERE A PROBLEM 'SHARING' IT....ELECTRONICALLY? YOU LOVE THE INTERNET NOW, RIGHT? JUST ASK JOHNNY, HE IS ADDICTED TO IT NOW...AN ACTUAL HOST ON SUXSCREENS AND LOVING THE KROWD THERE...AND THEY HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH HIM AS WELL...SURELY HE COULD HANDLE THIS TASK AND BE A GREAT WT INTERNET PRODUCTION MANAGER.
The idea of putting these calls [issues] on youtube is that it isn't just exjws or jws viewing them, if at all. YOU CAN EASILY SEND YOUR TAPES TO OTHERS, IN AN EMAIL...OR SUBMIT THEM EVERYWHERE...AND PEOPLE WILL EITHER LISTEN OR THEY WON'T....BUT YOU WILL HEAR ME, ON THE PHONE, ALOT, WITH BETHEL...TRYING TO GET ANSWERS.
It is a great 'release' internally too. At least it is for now. And the fact that you can read anything you see on the net, in a utube tape, is an ideal tool to use. Imagine all I could read and publish on youtube. THE FLOCK BOOK EVEN.
Anyhoot, I think instinctively, their hungry promotion of their BORING AND REVOLTING WEBSITE [WITH NO INTERACTIVE FEATURES] will backfire, at some point, blank range.
