I believe they are at the beginning of the end of their rope. That is why we see these extremely manipulative convention videos. The manipulation is only going to get worse. They have nothing else to use. They are doing whatever they can to keep the cult members in fear and afraid to look at what the world has to offer.
They are increasingly appealing to emotion

The Borg is using a lot more of visual stuff because they know that with all cultural change about seeing and not reading,nobody is gonna read books like in the 60's to 80's anymore. And yes they are catching people with emotional stuff in third world countries. Be a little bit like Pentecostals or disappear.

These extreme videos will wake some up.
It will dawn on some that sci-fi movies have no place in religion because religion should be more than superficial special effects set to a dramatic and emotional soundtrack.
They will realise that there's nothing of substance left anymore.

Not all that surprising.
Their stuff definitely used to have a semi/pseudo-academic slant when Fred Franz crafted the bulk of the Org's theology and written material (credit where credit's due; the man could write), but...
a) ...they never really expected "This Old System" to last, so he left no protege when he kicked the bucket, and...
b) ...Old Man Jaracz was able to use 9-11 to purge HQ of almost all the creative-types, intellectuals, and out-of-the-box thinkers... all crucial for the generation of new, compelling material, and...
c) ...the GB surround themselves solely with people who are never allowed to disagree with them, so there's virtually zero creative freedom.
As a result, we now have the WT equivalent of...
a) ...watered-down InfoWars/NWO-style apocalyptic horror for the grownups, and...
b) ..."Look, look, Caleb... see Sophia preach... preach, Sophia, preach... no more ice cream" for the kids.
EDIT: Letto the Clown's appearances are, of course, a whole 'nother thing, and don't even get me started on Spanky McTightyPants...
