LKM- You basically hit the nail on the head with your intuiion. " Money, power ". Yes. And mind control tactics used through instilling fEAR and GUILT into 7 million people. To get an idea of what tactics are used I wholeheartedly encourage you to check into Steve Hassan's new book " Freedom of Mind - Helping Loved Ones Leave Controlling People, Cults and Beliefs ". It can be purchased fairly cheap on Amazon.com and through Hassan's website www.freedomofmind.com. As you are in a relationship with someone who came from the Jehovah's Witness cult - it would really help you to understand the tactics used by the WT society in how they control these people. Good luck to you and welcome to the board ! And no the WT leaders don't really believe their own BS they just use it as a marketing , financial scheme to control 7 million people, like most cults do
What's the point?

The human need to believe in fantasy begins the snowball going down the hill. The Afterlife and the hoops you are told you need to jump through to get there allows for someone to assume a leadership position, someone who can explain the methods and teachings of getting to the Afterlife and that creates the powerpack and means to hold superstitions over people.
