I want you to consider what Ocean1111 wrote last year, he seems to have some interesting thoughts...
Good question.
Because things can be seen in two ways it will
take an abruption to even open the JW mind to start considering reality.
They can sell the liquidation of 500 million in NY real estate assets
in four years or so as a preparation for "the end". They can sell hall
consolidations as compacting JWs into "the ark" in denser fashion. They
can even present a negative 1-3% contraction as 1-3% growth, because a
complex dynamic global system like JWs can contract and yet expend at
the same time. The very 3% JW growth stat surely does not justify a
billion in asset liquidations to cover "overhead" and "growth needs" if
we looked at the full scope of Bethel liquidations internationally, and
in non-real estate assets.
So the numbers indicate JWs are
probably really below 7 million, and the bloat of the organizational and
congregational structure is now being chopped off in time to secure
those assets OUT of the corporate tsunami zone that will come from
national power in the coming years when they decide to take that actual
racketeering operation down, piece by piece.
What is surprising
is Bethel has not been "attacked" yet, but the future of litigations
globally is not looking good and most of it is based on Bethel policy in
writing assigning liability to the corporation, so it is no stretch of
imagination to see a Conti case as being topped many times over in the
judgment magnitude. It is also open to charity fraud and racketeering
under a religious "non-profit" veneer exposed by the reality of what
Bethel is up to in its corporate profiteering. It is a racket and many
national powers KNOW it is a racket, it just requires the right global
financial abruption or transition to bring it on fully, imo.
Now
Bethel can sell an "attack" on the corporations/"organization", for
actual criminal activity, to JWs as "an attack on our faith" and a
"persecution for our beliefs" even if it is clearly criminal
racketeering and negligence that Bethel is being prosecuted for, JWs buy
whatever the Pied Piper GB rationalizes for them.
Thus many
scenarios looking like Bethel is "preparing for the end", "it is truly
close brothers!" is indeed preparation for an end, but "the end" of
Bethel not "the world", that Bethel can sell to JWs as "the end of the
world brothers!", "prophecy fulfilling brothers!", and the whole time
JWs will perceive one set of events as having the deluded meaning Bethel
applies to those events, when in reality it is justice coming on Bethel
for long overdue criminal accounting. JWs see it as "God's
organization" led by God's "holy men", but in fact it is a global
reproach and actual criminal racket whose time has come led by con men
well removed from rank and file JW reality.
Now as long as JWs
do not accept the true sins of Bethel and its main instigators and
perpetrators in its leadership, they will not see it. And until
something abruptly shakes the JW world they won't even wake up, and when
they do it will be to the Bethel delusion "all coming true brothers!".
They have the perfect psychological smokescreen to offer up the end of
Bethel, as "the end of the world", and for JWs to eat it up in hyper
mode for quite some time, but it is all a delusion empowering a global
JW hoax, imo. As the world instead just plods along in its course, then
the years of bitter realization will come upon JWs who will be lucky to
save their own "Kingdom Hall", imo.
Some are waking up now,
true, but it seems the body of the JW herd must go through the stampede
and wind up out "in the wilderness" with no cowboys prodding them on, to
finally wake up to reality. It seems some JWs will end up where the
cows usually go, but some will break from the herding process, imo, and
overall many will slip through the cracks in spite of all the "obey us
and live" brainwash. That "obey us or else" bull, is going to be used
against JWs, imo. But all of it can be sold one way or the other,
depending on how a JW wants to look at it, and how "outside" the org box
they can get to get a better "outside looking in" perspective on the
Bethel system of delusion and brainwash.
I think JWs will not
wake up as well unless people are willing to help them when the time
comes. JWs, imo, will be the last Bethel victims, and we should not
blame them individually for a corrupted leadership who is actually to
blame overall for the disaster apostate and lawless Bethel will become.
JWs will have to live with the legacy once their elites have fled with
the spoils, so we need to really see JWs as the cows, the victims of
this form of "ranching" and "milking" by Bethel's billionaire "cattle
baron".
Bethel does not care if people blame JWs for their
racket, so we should blame Bethel mostly, JWs were victims of delusion,
and though partly to blame, the crashing of their Bethel "golden calf"
may be punishment enough, so you may be the one bringing many JWs up to
speed in time, don't blame those poor guys, imo.
