I think it’s pretty clear that the GB are power hungry. You cannot listen to the branch visit and not see clear as day that there are some of them that are loving the power. It showed the clearest with Anthony Morris.
Now all these sex abuse scandals and news media are taking their power away. You can easily see that by the comments under the news article, the victims coming forward and even the talk of those in the congregation that are starting to doubt because of everything going on. I remember hearing, “We must be in the true organization since all these other religions have sex scandals and we have none!” That day is long but gone, I can’t remember the last time I heard that said.
With most groups or individuals that are power hungry, when they feel they are losing the power they tend to tighten their grip even more to try to hold on to any ounce of power left. Do you think we’ll start to see a tighter grip applied in the organization and even more rigid rules and regulations? Was this year’s branch visit just the start of things to come?
The harder you grip, the sooner you’ll eventually have to let go.
