Personally I suspect that the leadership is aware that the ideology is intellectually flimsy at this point, but because they're all True Believers, they aren't interested in much more than keeping the Org in a holding pattern until The End comes.

Another factor might be that It's almost like the so-called "Law of Attraction" (wherein you can supposedly influence physical reality to bend to your will)...
...they think (subconsciously) that if they "believe" hard enough, their wishes will - in the end - come true.

mickbobcat - "...this is a good example of the leaders drinking the same koolaid they are giving the rank and file."
Absolutely.
All the available anecdotal evidence we have indicates that the WT leadership are full-on True Believers... and it's thoroughly backed up by the blunders they make.
All the boners they pull are exactly the sort of mistakes one makes if one is convinced that he's completely right whilst being utterly wrong.
(As I've said many times, it's a tremendously easy habit to fall into if you've been told for decades that God whispers in your ear, and you surround yourself solely with people who are never allowed to disagree with you.)

To all the hardcore nationalists and loyalists...
...you're absolutely right.
We should totally eliminate the political opposition completely (whoever or whatever it happens to be).
Hell, the end result - a one-party state running the world's only remaining superpower - would be a terrific idea.

All moot, IMO...
...as far as I'm concerned, the real reason they made a fuss is because they just couldn't stand having anyone use their stuff in a way that mocked them, or - even worse - deconstructed their ideology.

Why don’t couples have to remarry when becoming JWs?
by enigma1863 inyou have to get baptized even if you were baptized in several other religions so why don’t they require you to remarry your spouse, especially if you were married as a mormon or muslim and had multiple wives.
some countries legally allow polygamy so you couldn’t necessarily just go by the laws of the country right?
these problems probably never come up though because i bet not many flds or muslims become jws.

Amazing what an ultraconservative authoritarian high-control group will require of its members, all in the interest of appearing more virtuous than anyone else.
