WTC is seeing the inevitable collapse of the house of cards it built since 1889. More and more of the R&F now see how the jig is done - and they are rejecting it. Call it what you want, it is slow collapse. Like a giant train wreck played out in slow motion, each significant event shows fewer JWs actively involved.
