A possible scenario, in 50 years or so, is sell off WT assets and build spacecraft to go to another star system. They can settle on a new world to remake into a paradise Earth with no Satan or worldly people to blame things on. It is all on the settlers, so they would truly have a chance to prove the merit of a theocratic system.
The GB could cobble together some explanation about how it is fulfilling Revelation and Daniel and some such stories. They are adept at that sort of stuff.
Plus, with a new sun in the sky there would truly be "new light"!

I would suggest making the Public Talk 30 seconds long instead of 30 minutes.

I'll repeat my idea from a few months back.
Create a Max Headroom like character and pipe in the public talks to all KHs worldwide.
He even has on the right color shirt and tie.

Issue and edict to all Elders - each shepherding visit to be recorded for CO to view
When CO comes - NO MINISTRY - or very little - CO TO TAKE ALL ELDERS AND MS SHEPHERDING
Stop Judicial Committees
Only DF somebody if they refuse to stop living with somebody or refuse to stop smoking - in other words totally unrepentant.
Have a part when the CO comes -or basically have some fun
Make reinstaement very easy unless a child molester
Make it a disfellowshipping offence for an elder NOT to report child molesters to the police
Combine Bookstudy with the Thursday meeting.

JH,
The scriptures teach to get out if we do not want to share in her sins and not reform such an organization. It took me a while to grasp it. But this time confirmed for me what was written all along.

I thought most of your ideas were very good, and perhaps i agree with fornication not being the best of ideas--but smoking?' that is such a lame reason to DF someone- esp with the consequences.
I don't think Df is biblical at all, people would be encouraged not shunned. even they refuse to change they should still be welcome in God's house.
