So, the Circuit Overseer can hire and fire anybody he wants, right?
He can appoint Brother Sycophant and Brother Brownnose and tell them he wants to see a thousand bucks a month in contributions sent to HQ.
They go along with this. Next thing you know, donations drop and the CO tells them "sell the Hall and send the money to the Society". And they do.
How does he do this? In the exact same way this cult really got going - when a shyster lawyer simply appointed 'his guys' as directors of the Watchtower Society and got whatever he wanted.
Say hello to your future, "loyal" lurkers...
