Whatever you want to say about the man he does have a core sense of integrity in his view and evaluation of the GB leaders from a theological perspective.
Maybe it was just a matter of these men realizing what they have and hold unto themselves and what they could possibly lose if they didn't make enforcing regulation about individuals voicing personal opinions towards certain doctrines or the organization ?
This might have come about in reflection of just how much certain people such as COs Branch heads, GB members rely on the organization for their living sustainability in housing and financial support ?
In making a firm foundation of believable acceptance around themselves (FDSL) is also effectively make a supporting stance to sustain themselves.
The equation is such ....... subjective loyal faith = money $$$
