I'd agree, it takes an awful lot to "take down" a cult.
But I don't think the COS is unaffected, let alone comparable to wts.
For one, COS lost at least one multi-million dollar lawsuit for harassment and lies.
For another, they've had scathing documentaries about their cult activities. (IMO, people dismiss wts child abuse scandals as the actions of individuals. They do not see those crimes as indicative of a mind control/psychologically abusive culture.)
And...their opposers have been high profile in a very organized way, and have used the media, unlike us (for the most part). (In the US we've had basically one thing on national news.)
As a result, COS has a total lack of credibility with the public and are almost globally viewed as a cult. I suspect most Americans think dubs are just weird, like Amish, but harmless.
The difference between us and them is really our unwillingness to act as a team. (Ironic, because wts accuses us of doing so.)
Check my old threads and you will see I have come up with ideas people could do easily and anonymously, but people just don't want to. Which is ok, it's their life. I'm just saying....and others have tried to coordinate efforts to no avail, too.
Here's one you can watch crash and burn, live:
