The Key Point: What MUST They Do?
by metatron into me, in this post- fred franz era, the watchtower society can be understood in terms of dire necessity.
they have grown so old.
and so globally overstretched and so conservative that they vigorously resist changing anything, no matter how stupid or absurd.. doctrine doesn't matter, the publishers don't matter ( except as willing thralls) and their public image doesn't matter.. in regard to change then, all that remains is dire necessity - and nothing else.. the key to the whole cult's future lies in figuring out what circumstances they cannot avoid and so must adapt to.. .
