Hellothere: There's something not right here.
I am reminded of the old saying that sometimes the best explanation is not malice, but incompetence. The JW grift is based on keeping people waiting for an event that is very close, and this sort of grift relies on people either being insanely gullible, insanely desperate, or replaced on a regular basis. Most people will either see through the grift or simply run out of patience and decide that the JWs are wrong. Those people need to be replaced with new converts who can keep pumping money into the WTS coffers.
But you also need some shrewd minds and good planners at the top, and I don't think they have those anymore. The current crop of GB members are not dynamic speakers and they don't seem to have any fresh ideas to push to the rank and file. I think they lean too heavily on the "you must obey without question" part of the scam. The problem is, if you lean too hard on that, people will realize you are hiding something.
They also have done a terrible job of dealing with CSA and the related legal cases. I think their initial hope was that they could get it to go away by settling a few cases and never giving up their database of child rapists. But that has gone sideways and they are losing both court cases and money. And by digging in their heels, they're earning a reputation that is worse than any other church in regards to CSA. This GB is not capable of dealing with the issues they face.
