Isn't Governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses falling into spiritual snooze?

Jesus said: "While the bridegroom was delaying, they all became drowsy and fell asleep". (Mt 25:5).

Please attention to "they all". In other words, even the discreet (= true anointed remnants) virgins also fall into snooze.

-

So I ask to brothers and sisters of Jehovah's Witnesses.

(1) Is Governing Body true anointed remnants?

(2) If so, isn't Governing body falling into spiritual snooze?

-

Governing body who is watchman is dozing. Therefore, devils are invading in the congregation. In fact, this is the fundamental reason of misconduct of the organization of JW.

However, this is the purpose of Jehovah God. This situation will be soon improved. Governing body will wake up soon. But, how?

Do you think that point?

Update:

Indeed, this scripture was fulfilled also in the 20th century. If so, it should be fulfilled also in today which is the final part of the last day.

In fact, you too believe that Matthew 24:36-42 should be fulfilled in the future.

"Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. ・・・ Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming".

Matthew 25:5 should have been associated with this time. Because Matthew 25:1 says:

"Then the Kingdom of the heavens may be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom".

By the way, what do you think about scandals of organization?

    The JW's doctrine is false to begin with. For example, they believe in 'soul sleep'. Yet, soul's can not sleep. Sleep is a function of a physical body. Thus, the whole JW concept of soul sleep is metaphysically impossible.

    Very conveniently you stop reading where you desire. Going further we find, "Right in the middle of the night there arose a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Be on YOUR way out to meet him.’ 7 Then all those virgins rose and put their lamps in order. 8 The foolish said to the discreet, ‘Give us some of YOUR oil, because our lamps are about to go out.’ 9 The discreet answered with the words, ‘Perhaps there may not be quite enough for us and YOU. Be on YOUR way, instead, to those who sell it and buy for yourselves.’ 10 While they were going off to buy, the bridegroom arrived, and the virgins that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut. 11 Afterwards the rest of the virgins also came, saying, ‘Sir, sir, open to us!’ 12 In answer he said, ‘I tell YOU the truth, I do not know YOU.’"

    From the end of the first century, gradually false religion took over the Christian congregation, becoming o in name only. All the way until around the beginning of the 20th century, when there was need for the true Christian organization to wake up a re-form. Following closely the example of the 1st century congregation. They came out of most false religions when first they understood false religions were not teaching any truths of the Bible.

    At first they worked in small groups to search the Bible to learn what Bible truths were they could prove by the Bible alone. They resolved to not believe anything they could not prove by the Bible itself. If any idea could be shown objectionable by the Bible, it was rejected and back to the Bible they went.

    That was the waking up phase. When the period around 1914 and after came, they were fueled and ready. All other religions were empty of real spiritual knowledge. They still are. Clinging to pagan beliefs as doctrines like trinity, immortal soul, hellfire, everyone going to heaven, are only a few.

    Today, from the work of the Governing Body, a flood of spiritual meat is available. More than most of us can keep up with. Contrast that with false religions who can only provide watered down milk of the Bible. You might not understand these terms. Paul explains this. "Concerning him we have much to say and hard to be explained, since YOU have become dull in YOUR hearing. 12 For, indeed, although YOU ought to be teachers in view of the time, YOU again need someone to teach YOU from the beginning the elementary things of the sacred pronouncements of God; and YOU have become such as need milk, not solid food. 13 For everyone that partakes of milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to mature people, to those who through use have their perceptive powers trained to distinguish both right and wrong." (Heb. 5:11-14) Worse than milk, they have only watered down milk.

    Jehovah's Witnesses are learning and teaching more and greater Truths as we understand them more clearly. Far from snoozing, we are wide awake and active and growing. False religions are decaying and shrinking.
