It’s purely a control mechanism. Talent and intelligence = Pride, and perhaps a life of adequate finances, which is not something the GB want for the flock in general.
Sure, they love the occasional rich Dub, or Eldub with a business they can use, but the rank and file should be uneducated for the most part, and compliant. How on Earth could the GB control educated, confident people?
Those WT statements are a way to make uneducated Dubs feel better, as in, “Jehovah loves you even though you have no real skills, just paint the best you can with this 2” paint brush.” It’s busy work for those who put up with the abuse.
It’s a carrot and stick routine as well. “God loves you and will use you, but check yourself, you lowly worm..”
I wonder how the GB feel about humble but inefficient Lawyers?? 🤔
