There was a WT quote about 10 years ago that went along the lines of "we (rank & file JWs) dont need to examine the scripture, thankfully the GB have done that for us".

JWs used to say, they know it's the truth, because they are the only ones preaching the good news, door to door. They might be thinking- Yup, the preaching work phase is over!-- and all they have to do now, is hunker down and wait for the great tribulation.
Except, a day is like a thousand years to Jehoover, so the GB can logically string this waiting for the end charade along for another generation.
