Hi Mark,
I think the WT has lots of problems, way beyond the 1975 fiasco.
IMO, the two key parts of Jesus' message were love one another and deal with the things of this world through your own efforts.
The WT encourages a doctrine of hate toward those who are in disagreement and the JWs I see in here and witness.net all seem to think they can just "wait on Jehovah" to solve their problems.
Pretty much the opposite of what we are suppose to do, isn't it? As long as there is hate and organizations propagating it mankind will not progress as it should. The sooner we can obliterate hate and the sources of it the better off the world will be in every aspect. Unfortunately for many JWs, the WT does not fit into this picture so it will not survive.
Also unfortunate is the fact that it won't go quietly but kicking, screaming and taking down as many as possible with it.
Take care,
Julie
