The Future of Equipd

A number of days ago the Terms of Use were modified for the WOL and JW.org websites.

Since then I have been flooded with emails from users. Some want to verify that I know about the changed Terms of Use and what it means. Many are from worried users in the foreign language field who rely on Equipd on a daily basis, and have no replacement toolset at this time. Others have offered legal advice and personal interpretations on the Terms of Use.

I appreciate that everybody wants clarity on this subject. However at this stage all I can offer is the following:

• Yes I am very aware of the updates to the Terms of Use.
• There is a reason that I have not offered any clarity on the future of Equipd yet.
• I have reached out to the official channels to get absolute clarity on this topic.
• I have every intention of doing Jehovah's will in this matter and following theocratic procedure - that has always been the case and nothing has changed.

I am sorry I have not been able to clearly communicate on this topic sooner. Can I encourage users to please be patient. I don't want to send mixed messages, make announcements that I have to retract, or confuse users. As mentioned, I am waiting for absolute clarity around the future of Equipd from the official channels. Once I have that clarity, then yes I will let you know.

Thanks for your continued patience and support.

Agape,

Matthew

UPDATE OCT 22: The status quo still holds. I can confirm official direction is still pending.
