This 2 witnesses rule is what compounded the problem.
This crisis is a byproduct of some of their own archaic principles.
I feel they have dug themselves into a massive hole,, or painted themselves into a corner. Which its impossible to get out of. Like:
1) the two witnesses rule
2) the blood policy
3) the shunning policy.
They cant remove anyone of these. Its like having a tiger by the tail.
