An Organization Made of Glass?

    The current GB members have been carefully hand-picked to ensure that another Ray Franz scenario will never occur again. And it may not on the GB level, but expect to see more and more "E-Watchman" types (those who claim to be of the anointed but believe the leadership is corrupt) come out of the woodwork. People like this are just as dangerous, as many R&F are more willing to listen to them than flat-out "apostates" who tell you to just get the hell out of the org. If the WT does not reform for the better soon, the "anointed" can and will cause another 1980, from which the organization will not recover due to the proliferation of the internet. If the current GB are dead-set in the ways, the religion will eventually dwindle to a handful of hard-core Rutherford types who will be too small a cult to be anything but a harmless historical footnote. It is, I believe, inevitable.

    (to the tune of Blondie's Heart of Glass)

    Once had a faith, but it was so crass,

    Soon turned out, was a house of glass.

    Seemed like a real faith, but only to find,

    Mucho misleading, I freed my mind.

    Great thread, and great lyrics.

    Yet more proof they are not the truth.

    What many witnesses do is become de facto apostates by NOT accepting the entire range of teachings,

    You hit right on the head.

    Most and i say most do not accept all of the "unique teachings of the watchtower" so accordingly they are all apostates but no one dares to say it because they know what the consequences will be.

    Very sad situation to be in.

    There hegemony is not as brittle as glass. It bends with "new light," year after year, generation after generation.
