This will give you some idea of how it was with the Bethel Big Shots of the mid-sixties and early seventies (when I was there), and I doubt it's changed very much since:

I was 4-something in the Towers (I think 414; there were the labels on the backs of my shirts, eh?). At the corner of the Tower's.

I remember when it was said in the meetings that after a time, the message of getting people to come to know about Jehovah will end, and the message of death will begin at a certain time. Interesting how they never pointed out just when that time would occur. I can just see it now, the R & F will be out telling people that they are going to die at the end of the system of things, and the GB will sit back in their posh little offices at the Society.

I do not think many would deny that the Bethelites work hard. I would not like their schedules. However, if the preaching work is the most important activity ,then it should be the most important activity across the board.
The GB recognized that the preaching is most important, so they freed many Bethelites from their WTS HQ assignments,
and sent them to "the field."Since they have too much to do, they send others.
