It is this lack of a "higher code of ethics" that Watchtower Bible and Tract Society fail to embrace that will slowly bleed itself financially to death. If the WTBTS would just come clean on what they have done, acknowledge the defect, make corrections, and move on I don't believe they would have suffered the losses of followers that they have. But they keep denying, throwing lawyers and court cases at any and everyone that mentions it, within their own walls they continue to throw dirt at anyone that publicizes their mistakes and refuse to change.
They could have stopped all of this 10 to 30 years ago but it just keeps festering. They waste more articles, talks at conventions etc bashing apostates than trying to build spiritual characteristics in individuals. And the reason is clear, "They themselves are spiritually bankrupt and have no insight to lead anyone."! Blind leading the blind.
When King David who lived on the run from King Saul had the opportunity to kill him, he would not do it but waited on Jehovah. When Peter cut the ear off of a soldier, Jesus healed it. If they had come out and said, "It has been brought to our attention that we have been lacking and deficient in these areas and we are humble enough to admit and make changes" we are currently studying the best way forward with Jah's help, blah blah blah...The money vaults would have opened up to them.
