The Wise and Foolish Virgins
QUESTION: Since the Watchtower has not given a new explanation to the parable of the virgins and the talents in Matthew 25, can you please explain it to me? Especially the part that says: ''The foolish said to the discreet, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are about toe-watchman.com

The Parting of the Wise and Foolish Virgins
Thursday, June 2 The bridegroom came.—Matt. 25:10. Jesus’ prophecy recorded in Matthew chapters 24 and 25 contains eight references to his “coming”; in each case, a form of the same Greek word is used. In every instance, Jesus was referring to the time during the greate-watchman.com

The love of the truth 2Thess 2:10.They were all waiting for the groom
All were going to be married
All had lamps
They all slept
The only difference is that the wise ones brought oil with them and the stupid ones didn't.
Question: What does the oil stand for?

All of the virgins are anointed. However, some will prove to be wise, and some foolish. It is noteworthy that all ten of the virgins nodded off in sleep. The call "here is the bridegroom" will be a wake-up call for all. Obviously, when Christ returns it will present a new reality. Even if they all believed the delusion that Christ has already come the new reality will require that they quickly adjust their beliefs or else be left behind.You seem to suggest that the anointed who are in Bethel or various K.Hs serving Jehovah are not really anointed since they believe in the delusion 1914 doctrine? Therefore their knowledge won't be able to sustain them any longer and the anoint who discerned 1914 as a false date will go into the marriage feast
All the anointed are waiting for the bridegroom, but not all of them are prepared. That's the big difference. When WWIII begins, that will be the sign for "here's the bridegroom go and meet him", but not all of them will be ready. Christ will start his inspection and will seal those who will be prepared. These are the ones that will be welcome to the marriage of the Lamb. On the other hand, during those hard times, the unprepared will probably look for help in the Watchtower society or who knows what source, trying to get the approval, but it will be too late. That will be impossible by then. They will be left out of the marriage of the Lamb. Sadly, Christ will tell them "I do not know you".They were all waiting for the groom
