What the Borg fears most is a) everyone of it's victims becomes PIMO all at once. There goes it's money and power and b) losing it's tax free exempt status.
The Borg will ultimately collapse in on itself with one fell swoop if a) & b) take place.
Deservedly with it"s practises and policies.

Beth Sarim - I think you are right.
They are actively devouring each other by their internal bickering, politicking, jealousies and envies. The conflicts at headquarters trickle down to the congregations where they fight one another over trivial matters. There is no thread of genuine love among them - the identifying mark of true Christians. And yet, they do not fear the internal fighting.
1. They fear the ones who leave.
2. They fear losing their tax exempt status.

Would a diehard jw find this disturbing or would they say, "see, we have no problem reading other materials, we are allowed to". I know my jw will not read any non jw approved literature regarding anything biblical.
