One "good" thing about the system not ending is, there's plenty of time - and incentive - for the GB to think through the 'pros and cons' pf modifying core beliefs.
Contrast that with the edge-of-your-seat urgency evident during the latter years of Russell, then Rutherford, then the lead-up to 1975: The end was so very, very near that they had no time to fine tune some of their more ridiculous doctrines.
