Imagine a splinter group led by anointed ones that draw off enough of a following to cause confusion about who is directing the organization
What is needed is for the group that disagrees with the Governing Body's self designation as the Faithful And Discreet Slave to have a face and some level of organization. These would probably be disfellowshipped, if they aren't already, but they could also formally disfellowship the Governing Body. I don't believe there would be any legal basis for deciding which disfellowshipping would be legitimate.

"Yeah right, a splinter group wouldn't have the $$ to stay active. That's why the WT has everything in its name."
It wouldn't require much money. All you would need is a simple website and some postage to reply to those who send in a letter of disassociation.
Suppose someone fades and formally disassociates by sending a letter to this group that is following the established tradition of Jehovah's Witnesses (unlike the Governing Body).
Now imagine that two years down the road the elders try to disfellowship him. If he can show that he already resigned and never supported the coup and power grab of the Governing Body, it could very dangerous legally for the elders to try anything. A lawsuit might not be automatically thrown out if it can be shown that it is not an internal religious matter since the one party resigned years earlier.

DT - "By declaring themselves leaders in complete control of the organization, they have created a rival group composed of those who disagree."
Authoritarian leaders need enemies to aim their followers' hostilities at.

"you mean replace one organization...with another organization?...this is rather small-minded, isn't it dt?..."
I have no interest in replacing one organization with another.
My primary goal is to help people leave without facing the traditional sanctions. I am of the opinion that the Governing Body changed the conditions of membership of Jehovah's Witnesses and may have lost their claim to authority over those who refuse to go along with the new changes.
This provides possible legal defenses for faders who are later threatened by elders representing the Governing Body. I believe that simply no longer participating in meetings or the ministry is sufficient to establish that one is no longer associated with Jehovah's Witnesses. However, having a letter from a group that is following the traditional beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses acknowledging that the person resigned could make for an even stronger case.

The anointed are nothing for GB, is pure paraphernalia, they know it, in fact, not counting those who participate in the memorial, is pure fiction published data
The GB are branded as unbalanced, they believe that many Witnesses participate

It started out as a religion based on Pyramidolgy..
Measure a Pyramid find 1914..
The name is the same but the beliefs are completely different..
Now the WBT$ Governing Popes are the FDS..
You`ll literally be singing Praises to them in the very near future..
JW`s could be told to start celebrating Christmas ..
And..
Throw eggs at passing Cars when they`re at the Kingdom Hall..
It wouldn`t make any difference to them..
