Governing Body STOOGE: "Obey Us or Die!"

A Bethelite speaker tells millions of Jehovah's Witnesses to obey the Governing Body even when instructions seem to put them in danger. The ex-JW community is calling it an escalation. I'm calling it something else entirely. The Watchtower Society has been running the same play for over a century — obey us or lose your chance at surviving Armageddon and the Great Tribulation. This isn't new doctrine. It's the only card an organization with a catastrophic credibility crisis has left to play. We go through the talk line by line, track the Watchtower's failed prophecies, and ask the question nobody else is asking: when the Governing Body inevitably misidentifies a future crisis as the Great Tribulation, what happens to eight million people who've been trained not to push back?
