So, is God a rapist!?
by stuckinarut2 inok, i apologise in advance if this seems irreverent to those who believe in god.. but, the bible says that god (jehovah) impregnated mary.
without her consent.
so that would seem to be rape...right?.

What can WT leadership do...?
They are already doing it and have been beavering away at it under our noses for the past...oh I don't know, I'd say ten years possibly more. Future-proofing or in this case with WT - future-faking.
It takes time and planning to rebrand and turn a giant cult in different direction and that direction is jwdotborg.
The direction may be clear the destination... not so clear.
To turn things around if I were them I would :
Rebrand and embrace technology.
Stem the flow money going out, at the end of an nverted U curve it's only making thing worse to keep pouring money into any side of the business that is not performing.
Take possession of all monies and properties
Sell sell sell superflous properties, equipment, business etc etc
Reduce printing and associated costs.
Prune middle management, in-house volunteers, stipend pioneers any programs that imply liablility.
Limit opportunity for liability suits by cutting meetings in private homes etc.
Remove weakest links: Reduce the need for "teachers" by providing video meetings. Elders basically become glorified ushers, tech guys for the equipment and security guards.
Continue with the mantra "listen obey or else" and "loyalty, loyalty, loyalty" "the end is close" and who can forget "donate donate donate" during the transition phase.
Introduce new mantra "exciting and new changes are now taking place and needs your money regularly and praise Jehovah he created direct debit/automatic payment etc for that very purpose so you don't forget and can easily be incorporated into a monthly budget."
Expand:JW Movies JW Broadcasting and JWMusic.

Many refugees from high control religious groups keep their identity from the broader public under wraps for obvious reasons at some point, we of all people should understand that.
I've seen whistleblower/expose type interviews with ex-muslim, jews, scientologists, mormons, amish, satanists, kkk and many others and if some of them feel the need to obscure their face I completely understand why.

And apostates call it "the borg" or the "Washtowel Babble and Crap Society" and farmer Brown gets quite annoyed because people confuse it with his Water Tower Tire and Tractor Society.

Irish Elders deleted by Watchtower for reporting child sex abuse allegation to police
by Diogenesister intwo elders have been deleted by watchtower for reporting an allegation of child sexual abuse to the police, contrary to watchtower orders (a jw paedophile with a history, apparently).
when the british branch discovered what the elders had done they arranged for 3 elders to fly over to ireland, at the congregations expense no less, to hold a special jc for the ' rogue' congregation elders.
one elder and the cobe were deleted, two were allowed to continue.

I watched the vid and it to be believable. This guy from Irelandand and John Redwood from Survey spent quite a bit of time researching the case. While it's commendable that these elders that contacted Survey for help reported to authorities it's only what they should have done. At the end of the day though, WT owns their ass and is their "boss" so if they go against any directive then WT can fire their arse.
WT has these useful dupes aka elders by the short and curlies - damned if they do damned if they don't!
To carry out WT orders would compromise any working conscience to not follow orders is theocratic suicide.
