Well when you got 500 million, maybe a billion, to gamble with in the hedge funds, a few pedo cases are of no consequence. But if Bethel loses that cushion in a derivatives bet gone bad, and a tsunami of other national litigation comes forth in the future as now a precedent is set in the Conti case then it would look potentially ominous. But not if the goal is bringing Bethel into global seizure, then everything is right on track aided from within. Bethel has the classic signs of a corporate raid coming, the current billion in global asset liquidations is already headed for the hands of others.
Bethel will sell all this to JWs as "prophecy fulfilling brothers!", so that covering "self fulfilling prophecy" is perhaps the greatest sign a super-coup is what is coming to finish off what the GB began in 1976. To JWs the GB is Christian "cutting edge" to the JW opposers the GB are hypocrite dolts, in reality the GB is neither of those things, they subvert the perception of both JWs and most of their critics, and that is also a signal more is going on IN Bethel than meets the eye, and "preaching God's Kingdom" is NOT their end game goal, taking down Bethel is, and telling JWs "the preaching work has come to an end y'all!!" is but another obvious cover story.
Too many anomalies that show design indicate Bethel is going down, but it is not the overall world system that will be going down with it, it will continue. It is JWs who will be the bewildered for quite some time when the trap is sprung. It will take a couple years to fold up the Bethel circus and global litigation would be a good tool for some of that seizure. Very nicely that can be sold to JWs as "the attack on Babylon the Great" or "the attack of the Assyrian" or "the attack of King North". In any case the subterfuge is already expected as "prophecy" by JWs, and that will aid the JW paralysis as long as possible.
Now how can a coup have such an excellent smokescreen cover, all accidentally or randomly? It can't, it takes planning.
There are more Bethel red flags than this and some people are finally seeing things are worse than even JW critics are understanding, some see something is way way off at Bethel worse than just "hypocrisy". The last couple of years of weirdness has really peaked the strangeness. In any event it will be the end of Bethel as many have known it, in my opinion, and JWs will be set-up as a global laughing stock too boot.
