Paulappolos, very likely that is right. JW style politics now are all about getting onto the GB (and on the right side of the GB subgroups).
Probably the Mormons are a good forecast: After Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, they no longer have the strongman. Actually, there is still a "prophet", but the organizational heirarchy is more imortant now.
Maybe we will be able to better say when eventually old Jaracks has to be replaced.
