I think Bethel is the foretold final apostasy. So do not consider yourself "apostate", the Bethel Pharisees obviously fulfill:
(2 Peter 2:1-3) However, there also came to be false prophets among the people, as there will also be false teachers among you. These very ones will quietly bring in destructive sects and will disown even the owner that bought them, bringing speedy destruction upon themselves. 2 Furthermore, many will follow their acts of loose conduct, and on account of these the way of the truth will be spoken of abusively. 3 Also, with covetousness they will exploit you with counterfeit words. But as for them, the judgment from of old is not moving slowly, and the destruction of them is not slumbering.
And as it states, Bethel will be judged as all of us will be as well, but Bethel's judgment comes first for all to see and benefit from:
(1 Peter 4:17) For it is the appointed time for the judgment to start with the house of God.
The benefit is no one reproaches God's name as actually Bethel are the lead befoulers (Zech3:1-3). So God's judgment on Bethel will be clear enough for those paying attention for some justice to know God WILL clear His name of Bethel's lawless behavior in now a solid 37 years of "Governing Body" rulership.
Everything went down hill in a more severely negative trended manner once those Popes took over Bethel. They are not going escape judgment anymore than their Papal fathers.
Be patient. A judgment is obviously required and should be honestly realized by all JWs. Bethel has wandered far from true Christianity, and for the very same reasons as Israel and Christians after Christ. Love of money, power, and self-righteousness equal blindness, sins and judgment.
It is wat it is. Bethel merely leads JWs to repeat a well worn pattern of corruptions that ALWAYS precedes the judgment, and is always made self evident.
(1 Timothy 5:24-25) The sins of some men are publicly manifest, leading directly to judgment, but as for other men [their sins] also become manifest later. 25 In the same way also the fine works are publicly manifest and those that are otherwise cannot be kept hid.
Bethel cannot escape the obvious, it is a pattern they fit like the former religious entities preceding a known divine period of judgment. One cannot leave God and Christ because Bethel has, and reproaches God and truth. Bethel's apostsy made evident fully is actually good news. It means the judgment will proceed soon. (2Thess2:1-4).
It means Bethel desolations will be a signal event well before the actual final judgment of God. Bethel judgment will be the wake up call Christ warns of. (Matt25:1-13). God will provide enough time to cleanse His name fully. (Mal3:1-5; Zech3:1-5).
