Question: Could The WTS Be Following A Model?

    Could there be any sort of model for the Watchtower to imitate in regard to its planned final structure?

    Is there any example out there of a church organization with a 'bishop' with absolute authority to appoint elders/pastors and that has good donation flow?

    Would the Legal Dept. change the Organization piece-meal or would they move towards some successful model of a religion?

    Many of them at HQ might not even realize it, if some final structure/model was intended. Their consultants might just gravitate in a certain direction.

    While they may have been inspired by the Mormon family night, I can't see that the Watchtower can continue as an open hierarchy - they don't have the cash reserves or political help to maintain that.

    If we want to know more about where the current changes are headed, I think this train of thought might point the way.

    Same model that any authoritarian regime in decline follows (history repeats itself - or at the very least, rhymes - over and over again).

    Damndest thing is, every single one of them believed they would be the exception and prevail, and every single one of them was wrong.
