The lawyers are running the show. 9 old guys with an average age over 80 are not looking into all the details of the organization. They write articles and the rest is left to the "experts"
Do you believe that the GB are in charge of the WBTS?

The GB have created an institution that very well could be resisting their authority, since the survival of the machine they've built might be jeopardized by their fragile policies.
I think they HAVE placed more control in the hands of expert advisors (lawyers, corporate-minded managers, "political" movers and shakers). Serving at Bethel, I can certainly look back on these archetypes and see that they were working more or less for a different agenda than what the GB may have wanted.

That's because the GB stills thinks it is a religious organization

I agree. I think that's the crux of it. To them, it's religion. To the ones really in control, its an institution that justifies the means of perpetuating its own existence.

The leaders of the group are never the real leaders of the group. Internal policies reflecting on the outcome and responsibility of the members are never made by the said leaders.
Sounds like you are on to something! After the original leaders die and many generation later! Have you came across any articles regarding the original Founders that in order to belong to secret societies they need to write something! One does not need to make any sense of the writings as long as they write it! They could start a new religion or anything they wanted! They must write something in order to climb up the secret societies ladder! And, if they get a bunch of people following the message that is even better! So is the case with many religions but only a few of them would write something that is so off the wall you wonder what does it mean! Some of it so crazy that the member just thought it to be Divine Light! The truth of the matter it does not have to mean anything or be even truth! People can believe what you write even though it is just garbage!
Now it should make you wonder every time you pick up an article written by some religion and it making a lot of money! If what they write does not make any common sense! It probably is someone climbing the secret societies ladder! You know the ones only other top members know who each other are, because their names are not written in the lodges as members!
So with time these religions become so powerful and big and the founder who was just climbing the secret societies ladder is dead! Now who really is in charge! The secret societies do not care! because they just gained another person who did what they told them to do! In returned went out and had other believing in what they wrote, and had their members believe and do what is written! And here we are!
It still sets me back a little, that the wanna be secret society founders did not believe anything they wrote, knew it was just garbage,had to convince people otherwise to be come famous! It really did not matter for already higher up group of the secret societies who made sure the rules were followed, because they could care less if a person writings was a success or not! It did not even have to make any sense! Now you have religions that people just wonder who is who but cant find out! Nor does it matter because the religions thrives and some of the writings survived onger than the founders original goals! Otherwise, the crazy writings keep on going and are made into enclyopedias, CD, many off shoot books! it just changed throughtout time so it appeals to new readers! But sometimes you pick up an article and their is a sentence here and there that really does not match the topic or makes any sense! Now, you know why!
Some of these founders came from wealthy families to begin with and had their family members money to back up their writings and printing press! Most family members were members of these societies and would want a family member to become famous in any business! Also, some wrote in different countries under pseudo names! Now who really is the author of what!
