Anytime someone says “but what if they’re right?” I respond with this…
…the WTS has made it abundantly clear that they intend to run the world after the Apocalypse.
Now, imagine them being given control of a small country tomorrow.
I guarantee you that within half a decade, advances in science and medicine would grind to a halt, creationism would be mandated in schools, post-secondary education would be nonexistent, all foreign entertainment would be banned, any form of alternative sexual expression would be forbidden even between straight married couples, disfellowshipped people would be imprisoned or deported, and “apostates” would be sentenced to death without possibility of appeal or reprieve.
Anyone who denies this is either naive or lying.
Now, imagine a regime like that encompassing the entire planet.
Indefinitely.
