During the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical.
If you trust the direction we receive today and readily obey, you will likely do the same during the great tribulation.

Great pick up.
The Wednesday Dec 13th text was completely along those words.

Here is Elaines latest video on this weeks WT study.
It's pretty much on par with Wed, Dec 13th days text. Watch Elaines video carefully. The Borg could be prepping it's $heeple for something dramatic. Who knows. Here it is:

They have something up their sleeve. Because they keep mentioning the illogical instructions coming to the r&f, that means they already know what they plan to instruct and when they will have to give those instructions.
w13 11/15 - 17 Elders who are reading this article can draw some useful conclusions from the account we have just considered: (1) The most practical step that we can take to prepare for the coming attack of “the Assyrian” is that of strengthening our faith in God and helping our brothers to do the same. (2) When “the Assyrian” attacks, the elders must be absolutely convinced that Jehovah will deliver us. (3) At that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.
w22 February -15 As the end of this system of things draws near, we need to trust in Jehovah’s way of doing things as never before. Why? During the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical. Of course, Jehovah will not speak to us personally. He will likely provide direction through his appointed representatives. That will hardly be the time to second-guess the direction or to view it with skepticism, wondering, ‘Is this really coming from Jehovah, or are the responsible brothers acting on their own?’ How will you fare during that crucial time in human history? The answer might be indicated by how you view theocratic direction now. If you trust the direction we receive today and readily obey, you will likely do the same during the great tribulation.—Luke 16:10.

w23 October - 18 We can learn to obey. Jesus “learned obedience,” not from being in ideal conditions, but “from the things he suffered.” (Heb. 5:8) Like Jesus, we often learn obedience under challenging circumstances. For example, during the early part of the COVID-19 pandemic when we were asked to stop meeting at our Kingdom Halls and to suspend our house-to-house ministry, did you struggle to obey? Yet, your obedience protected you, united you with fellow believers, and pleased Jehovah. All of us are now better prepared to obey any instructions we receive during the great tribulation. Our lives may depend on it!—Job 36:11.
19 We have learned that obedience brings countless blessings. But we choose to obey Jehovah primarily because we love him and we want to please him. (1 John 5:3) We can never repay Jehovah for all that he has done for us. (Ps. 116:12) But we can obey him and those who have authority over us. If we obey, we show that we are wise. And the wise make Jehovah’s heart rejoice.—Prov. 27:11.

Something up their sleeves??
Selling everything off. The cash and grab a few years ago. Keeping only $5000.00 in their local bank accounts.
Sell your house,,send your wills,,savings and proceeds to the Borg. You no longer need them.
A total 100% online religion is born.

"For example, during the early part of the COVID-19 pandemic when we were asked to stop meeting at our Kingdom Halls and to suspend our house-to-house ministry, did you struggle to obey?"
Considering how central and sacrosanct those are to the WT, I'm not surprised if ordinary JWs struggled to accept a complete 180 from everything they had been told to hold dear!
