Every video I've seen from the WTS in the past 3 years has been a bigger WTF moment than the last.
The more the GB plasters their names and faces on everything that comes out of HQ, the more fence-sitters they're gonna push over to the other side.
Nobody Is Following The Governing Body's Directives On Shunning, Cognitive Dissonance In Over Drive!

We are in the midst of the Witnesses grappling with the fact we are in uncharted time now according to Watchtower Doctrine. There is no sense of urgency in any of the Congregations I visted! A few weeks ago I spoke with the friends, some even mentioned (some as young as 30 years old, they might not see the End!) they don't think we will see the End! I asked "Who do you think will see the End?" They had no answer, one old Elder cut me off and said "Hey, you know the End is right around the corner!", I kept this conversation focused while Turkey Chin Slob-Eat-A-Entire-Buffet-Elder tried to tilt the conversation away from the young Witnesses experessing doubts the End will come by 2100 or 2200 A.D. How is that? They are readily accepting the End is not coming in their great-great-great grandkids Generation while the Watchtower is pretending the End is just around the bend, something is going to have to break!
Frankie, I know you want people to wake up from their deep dark haze but it's not going to happen. I was disappointed hearing the youth readily accept defeat and say "We need to just sit back and obey the Slave, that's all that matters!" No, they did not say "We need to obey Jesus Christ and Jehovah God", how sick in the head is that? Obey the Slave over Jehovah is deadly and they will answer for that, they will have to speak up on Judgement why they had all the signs, signals they were in a Cult but refused to follow Jesus Christ. Sorry, but I don't think people are going to leave because it's more a very dysfunctional social club, a Club you join to make yourself fell better than some and worse than others. A Club where guilt and anxiety are spoon feed to each and every non-thinking Witness who is afraid to walk out the door and think for themselves, they are deeply stuck, the old-timers are the members that are suffering from Cognitive Dissoance, not the youth because they did not experience those terrible pains of 1975's lie!

These so called governing body asshats are very insignificant. They would have to increase their membership sevenfold to have the same number of followers that Sai Baba had. And they presume to preach the gospel to all the inhabited earth.

The whiny demands of the Governing Body must be listened to and Obeyed!

Band on the Run
This forum provides proof every day that the GB is being followed. People are always in pain concerning shunning or fear of meeting a Judicial Council. We are dissidents. We have confirmation bias. It looks as though the WT is doing quite well. They are transitioning. No matter how many times I post about damage awards for pedophile law suits, no one wants to believe me. These suits involve individual actors, not the WT. It will be the rare case under tort law that the WT will be a defendant. They can handle the loss. The Roman Catholic Church is alive and functional.
It might be wise to think of other strategies for constraining the WT. Americans do not have critical thinking skills. It is affecting our entire economy. Any effort to teach children in 7th grade about civics and critical thinking should make converts less likely. I would focus on the psychology for why people graduate from public school and believe the WT or the Mormons.
The WT is not on its last legs. I read a steady stream of members posting here about the pain of losing family. If no one was following GB directives, people would be posting how their family is supporting them. Shunning bothers me the most.

The Governing Body is it own worst enemy by running a Corporation that has God as the unseen/imaginary Copilot. With this type of delusion going on your decisions are faulty and based on phobias of the unseen.
They have replace the human concept of love with loyalty to the corporation. This has them persuing an unloving course action towards others that is hard to reconcile in the mind without exceptional Compartmentalization coming into play, which is becomming harder and harder as they persist in this delusional fantacy about the end of the world at Jehovah the sock puppet's hands which will bring them rich rewards too good to be true.
As they whine their way to the Corporation's demise:

This latest turn of events, like getting rid of the DO position, and laying off all over 70 COs and DOs(loyal company men) and basically giving them severance with little in the way of a genuine thank you for your life of service to the corporation or retirement benifits, and homelessness if they don't keep listening and obeying the Governing Body(their cruel masters).
I see a major apathy growing no matter what kind of bullshit they write in the watchtower.

I'm sure with this new turn of events reguarding COs and DOs being retired with little in the way of benifits is not sitting well with the remaining COs and volunteer workers at bethel and different branches.
The Governing Body's cruel treatment of these "company men" is sending a message that can't be ignored either by the conscious or unconscious mind.
And don't forget to add this the charge of misappropriated funds. It seems that the GB have been hitting an all time low in handleing Corporation business and are reverting to out right treachery. They are desperate and will do what eveer it takes.

Adult child who was sexually abused as toddler tells me I should not be upset at the elders/wts because it's all in the past...same thing her elders told me in an email.
They cannot and don't want to reason, because its easier to ignore the elephant in the room.
So sad.
