They feel they must be receiving messages from the dead anointed because Rutherford was able to identify the Great Crowd in 1935. Not even the bible pointed to the fact that they would be identified then. Also, there is no indication in the bible as to when the anointed began to be resurrected but again, the GB believe it began around 1919, there only evidence being that they feel that new truths are being revealed to them, such as the 1935 teaching.

It's not just the money that they will be using but it's also that sense of euphoria that they instil on the rank and file. That extra boost will be missing for a lot of JWs.

Ruth Moram has taken the Watchtower to court a number of times over this issue. It has now been settled and the Watchtower agreed to an order being issued against them.
Here is a brief summary from Ruth Moram -

Happy Birthday and thank you so much for all the work that you've put into this site. 20 years, wow, it's virtually a whole generation.
I've been here for 9 years now and learnt a great deal from other posters and greatly appreciated being able to have discussions with other ex JWs.

For a religion that claims it bases its beliefs on the Bible, they continue to ignore important parts of Matthew 24 which states that no one knows the day or the hour and Verse 44 which states that Jesus comes "at an hour when you do not expect him." -

COVID-19 another example showing local publishers/congregations are on their own?
by JWTom inmy area is a large city spread across two u.s. states and multiple different cities and counties.
the area of 2.5 million is covered by parts of 4-5 different circuits.
many of those attending meetings are at-risk individuals with health problems or age related risk.

I imagine the Elders have been very busy taking calls from anxious followers who are seeking direction on what to buy and what to do. On top of that, they are having to make serious decisions.
The message from the GB seems to be that they still want meetings run unless the Government or local authorities suggest otherwise. Is this the wisest choice because it means waiting on the Government to make the announcement? Surely they could show direction by erring on the side of caution.

Just this last weekend in Western Australia people were buying freezers. There is none left in our stores and there's a 6 to 8 week wait for new stock to arrive. A sales lady said we should pre order if we wanted one because it looks like we will miss out if we don't. Now there's not much meat left in the supermarkets, particularly mince.
