It's an exaggeration to say that.
However, since I've been revisiting the WT after all these years, I'm coming to the conclusion that there is a certain amount of psychopathy in the WT leadership. That they find a certain amount of enjoyment* when their loyal followers experience hardship due to following the unnecessarily harsh and uncompromising rules laid down by those at the top. That there are so many things that they could do to lessen the burden, yet they don't, unless, as Vidiot 😏 is fond of pointing out, their tax exempt status is called into question. I'm amazed at how little has changed in two decades, that could have been done decades ago.
* They haven't basically changed from being the same people who gloated, in an Awake! in the 1990s, over the large number of children who died from following their directives.

The Borg might not be around much longer.
All you're going to hear is white noise coming from headquarters some day.

notformer, I never thought of your angle about them finding enjoyment in regard to the suffering they cause others, but now that you have drawn attention to that possibliity, I think you are correct. They like to point out how others have been faithful to Jehovah in regards to certains things when it wasn't something Jehovah ever required to start with, even though the rank and file may have suffered physically , emotionally, or economically. They use these one as good examples to shame the others in the congregation who aren't following suit.

The jws will attempt to to watch their jw broadcasting videos when they will only find ""no connection"" with that white spinning circle on their screens.
Panic will ensue,,,they wont know what to do & will run around like chickens with their heads cut off.
After years & years & years & years of having their thinking done for them.

I will venture to say this.
The Borg as we knew it before the internet age didn't expect the ""internet age".
In the last 15 - 18 years a great "awakening" is taking place.
The Borg never anticipated that.
Up until about 2002-04 the Borg was thriving. After about 2006 the Borg was pooched with the internet. They're screwed.
