    They want almost completely mainstream…
    …and shattered into a bazillion pieces.

    I don't know. It looks like there were splinter groups who wanted to stay non trinitarian but the group seems to have gone from around 100,000 to 66,000 or so. But that's with the core belief about who God is! That's a huge change.

    The changes I am talking about are much smaller.

    Well, now that is an idea...but...from where I sit the only real core belief is the GB is boss ( voice of Jesus ) and you have to obey any core belief they say, even if they change that same core belief in the blink of an eye. Obedience to them is their core belief. So if they were to honestly publsh a core belief it would be...OBEY the GB or else.

    They did publish that in 2013 WT Nov 15, pg 20

    I just had a fucked-up idea…

    …wouldn’t it be a kick in the ass if actual moderates on the GB were genuinely trying to use that “core belief”…

    …to make the transition to authentic mainstreaming more smooth?

    (i.e. essentially use the slaves’ obedience to free them?)

    😵‍💫

    Vidiot, they could wind up the organisation, hand the Kingdom Halls over to the individual congregations, wish them luck, "You're on your own now", and ride off into the sunset.

    Maybe bugger off to Argentina or the Caymans, and let the rank-and-file think they’d been “raptured” away…

    …I’d… actually be fine with that.
