I am still astounded that there are people on this forum who believe that after the death of the Old Guards, like Jaracz and Barr, the GB or the Society will be less coercitive. Wake up, people, there will be no reasonable new light! People like Rutherford and Jaracz will always live through the minds of their disciples. The king is dead; long live the king!!!
The number of JW deserters worldwide will increase in the times to come and WT doctrine-makers will be unable to cope with this situation in a reasonable manner. They will shout stronger and stronger "the Big A is coming" and will enforce harder and more coercitive rules and regulations on the backs of the rank and files. This will cause even more deserting. The doctrinal loop will strangle it's maker one day and many of us will see this with our own eyes. It's exactly the same behavior that made communism fall: people got fed up; the rules tried to prevent uprising by enforcing more coercition; more coercition brought more squalor; when the secret-services instigators brought the spark, the mobs exploded and the Capitalist Revolution won the day. I tell you, the spider will be caught in it's own web...
