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?

Thank you for posting those articles (again). After reading, translating and re-reading I was wondering: You said
'Although it is unsaid, likely there would be a disruption of the feeding program itself, or rather—a cessation of it altogether.'
My questions: Could you say that there is already an disruption in the WT feeding program, now their food mainly consist of milk?
And could the foolish virgins correspond to those who are still faithful to the GB and their teaching?

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 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.

The call of" Here the Bridgebroom" is done by who? Its a call from the 2 witnesses They introduce the Christ, much like Jonh did back in the 1st century. What is the call? The call is one of Peace and Security . They expose the devils deception.Rev 13:13. Yes we must quickly adjust our thinking.

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".
The difference between them and the other groups mentioned in the illustrations given by Jesus is that these virgins are all anointed. They are not false anointed like the weeds or the unsuitable fish, they are real, authentic anointed. But they will not be ready, and sadly, that's why they will be rejected. They will be foolish. Not to mention that the source in which they will look for help will be rejected too. Very sad for them!
