When a breakaway, contrarian religious group is told it should be doing something, it’s almost guaran-fucking-teed to do the opposite.
If “The World” zigs, the WTS wants to zag… the tendency is practically baked into the Org’s DNA at this point.

Considering the highly unethical actions they constantly take in “defence” of the Org, and the countless times they’ve had to change doctrine after the fact…
…while at the same time making some of the most gobsmacking (ideology-based) blunders that no cynical strategist would commit, I can only come to one conclusion.
They know it’s wrong…
…but believe it’s true…
…at the same time.

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?

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.
