blondie - “…As to going ‘bankrupt’, I'm sure the WTS will have a way to semantically find a way to avoid that word…”
What I wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall at that brainstorming session. 😁

For decades, they’ve insisted on attributing every success the WTS has made to God’s favor…
…rather than the efforts of savvy businessmen, shrewd lawyers, or talented creatives.
Who’d’ve thought a half-century of buying into their own humble-hype would potentially cripple ‘em at the eleventh hour, huh?

“Is there evidence about Jaracz?”
Depends on whether or not you trust the journalism:

ThomasMore - “…They have attempted to hire consultants in recent years to evaluate their business and make recommendations…”
Wait…
…”attempted”?
So… unsuccessfully?
Or do these consultants advise them to do or say things the Old Guard can’t/won’t sign off on?

I don’t think the secular world is actively trying to “dissolve” the WTS specifically…
…it’s just the global environment they’re in is simply changing in a way they can’t really adapt to effectively.
And organisms - biological or social - which can’t adapt to a changing environment go extinct.
This may seem strange to consider, but in the overall grand scheme of things, the WTS is… well… small potatoes.
The slow collapse of the Tower is more “collateral damage” than a focused campaign.

JWs unrecognisable compared to my grandfathers time
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inmy grandfather who has been dead for 37 years would not recognise the borganisation today.
he would turn in his grave if he knew the end didn’t come by 2023.. back in the 1970s he really believed in the 75 thing.
he was so disappointed and almost blamed everyone else why the end didn’t come.

TonusOH - “Put a guy at the head of an organization that is convinced that he is being guided by god through the holy spirit, and he can't help but get an oversized ego from it.”
Then, surround him with people who are never allowed to disagree with him, and you can’t help but see increasingly unhinged decisions.
Ironically enough, though, it’s happened to them…
…in wresting power away from Freddy, the Governing Body became Freddy.
