Yes Bethel just modifies the procedure and conceals the same hierarchy in a veneer of presumption, but the outcome is the same, and the purpose of control so others carry out the tasks is also the same.
Thus JWs venerate and enrich their well disguised oppressors, yet they are the ones beating the "sheep" they know locally, for total strangers in Bethel's aloof elites who have not one thing in common with the common JW, and also have other designs for the billion in resources, which are always also part of the purpose of the control.
Instead of helping their brothers and sisters, ostracizing those rebelling from the mind control leaves resources so the GB never has to wear the same suit or underwear twice. Thus clipping the weak sheep totally, ultimately increases Bethel's core enrichment. Rather than send a JW to rehab or counseling and helping them, Bethel funnels the JW cash and all kinds of other assets to a treasure trove well beyond the scope of the contraction of JW growth actual over-head requirement. Thus Bethel is wildly profitable by such an inquisition and the false appearence of the "holier than thou" status. Instead JWs become as cold as the icemen at Bethel, but will reap none of the profits of the operation, instead the "whole heartedly" support it and condone the Bethel spiritual criminals in the process.
JWs are now "taking pleasure in unrighteousness" in the process, some of them are rabid for the inquisition and actually feel it is right and just.
