There is a saying that "evil carries within it the seed of its own destruction" and we can see this occuring with the WTS and its evil leadership.
Things there are going from bad to worse due to the fact that they are simply not capable of running a group like this. Being also extremely autocratic and jealous of their authority they don't accept advice on how to imrove things from anyone outside their tiny and secretive inner circle and problems never get fixed.
Rutherford, Knorr with Franz who very reluctantly delegated power to a just a dozen or so men in the 1970s who turned out to be just as incapable and pig headed.
So finally their dictatorial and conceited nature is paying them back as this org is beginning slowly to fall apart and it's unlikely to be here in 20 years from now.

The quakers are still around. Richard Nixon was one. They're peaceful and not usually cultish.

I would say the WT and its Governing Body are doomed because they have mislead all thier friends seemingly with impunity. Even inside bethel the GB must feel the noose tightening around thier necks. The internet has made a great contribution to this uncomfortable uneasy nature that exists among all the insiders at bethel as it brings to light the falseness of thier claim to be God's channel. Just as the Governing Body has ploted to decieve not only the rank and file in general,, they have also ploted against those that are and were thier intimate friends inside the organization. Treachery is afoot, at bethel,,they can not keep doing this type of dishonesty and not expect serious repercussions,,they may be faced with smiling faces as the knife slowly and cleverly gets thrusted into thier backs when they least expect it(metaphorically speaking).
When you hold someones future in your hands like the GB do with many old timers at bethel and you are found out to be a liar and merciless fraud then don't expect the smile on many old timers faces to genuine,, it is just a cover because you hold power over them which they resent very much and when the time is just right they will show just how much they resent the GB.

Avishai: Thanks for your note.
My point was that all these groups had strong movements at one time and were even persecuted for their beliefs. That didn't make any one of them the only true religion. They all seem to get caught in a suspension of belief and time like a mosquito in amber.
All flash-in-the-pan groups with miniscule remnant memberships.
The "light that keeps getting brighter and brighter" can no longer be applied to JWs, a group soon to be fragmented and limited to the old obsolete codgers that "have no where else to go to."
