  So it seems the exjw community is setting policy for the governing body

  I think that has been happening for years. We all know that there was a brain-drain at WT. Anyone with any intelligence and good sense left and is now here. Frequently, the former JWs pontificate here about the incoherent New Light Truths and offer better/smarter (maybe even more scriptural) corrections/suggestions. Often, ex-JWs here expound on what issues forced their decision to no longer support the JW religion.

  A few months pass, and VOILA!, announcements are read or reports are received that New Light has indeed shown brightly on those very subjects spoken about here. Yes! these ideas had already been "tested" by 100s or even 1000s of comments from this and other sources, i.e., Reddit, and deemed to be BETTER than the WT Writing Dept had dreamed up.

  I do believe that Ex-JWs (even apostates) are inadvertently conjuring up and field testing what becomes doctrine & policy for the religion. Not surprising since the smarter JWs have all moved on and WT lacks the creative staff to come up with anything better than "Overlapping" doctrines.

  Any "creative writing" died in 1992 with Frederick W. Franz. He was "The Oracle", and wrote massive amounts of doctrine over DECADES at WT HQ. Probably 90% at least, specifically the types and anti-types BS that has recently just been tossed by GB2.0 as if it was dirty bathwater, never to be heard from again.

  Now I want you all to think about this; DECADES of "Divinely Inspired New Light" that was studied week in, week out, for decades upon decades in countless rainbow coloured books, completely nullified and voided as if it were nothing. No apologies, no nothing. Just disregard and move on.

  If THAT bullshit right there doesn't give anyone with 2 functioning brain cells pause enough to consider this a man-made CULT, I don't know WTF would!

  Anyway, you can look back upon the past 33 years and see EXACTLY when the downfall of anything evenly remotely "Academic" or "deep" ended. 1992. Everything after has merely been a re-hashing of FWF's writings and insane ramblings. That, and a complete "dumbing down" of everything due to the fact that uneducated morons are staffing the Writing Dept. Derp-Derp!

  So, you went from a huge cache of monthly literature + large format books released yearly, to cartoonish pamphlets and Caleb and Sophia cartoons. Splane is about the only one even trying to put something out, and that's just "Overlapping Generations Chart" made up bullshit. And that was what, 10 years ago already? Time flies when you're counting money and fighting off the CSA lawsuits and arguing with governments around the world that you're absolutely not a cult even though you refuse life-saving blood to minors and shun anyone who dares to leave or disagree with you as if they were dead!

  WING COMMANDER:

  I remember back in the days of Fred Franz. That’s when there was a ‘holy mystique’ about the governing body!

  Even though I personally never thought these men were special in any way, other idiot Witnesses spoke about them like they were ‘saintly’. I let it all go in one ear and out the other.

  I hear you about the ‘no apologies’ about discarded teachings. I also remember those types and anti-types and when the young die-hard JW pioneers were so proud of themselves that they could recite all this from memory. Me? I found it tedious! This was all back in the day when I worked and was that ‘low hour publisher’.🤣.. But, I’m so happy now I never paid any attention to their teachings.. It is also quite obvious that once that man ‘the Oracle’ departed, all the ideas disappeared.
