They're just Elders who have worked their way up the company ladder to leadership positions. If they are partakers, they're eligible to join the GB. If they're not partakers, they will be in charge after the GB 'disappears'.

There is no heavenly calling, it is a wishful thinking of JWs
by Abraham1 inthen jesus said to his disciples: “truly i say to you that it will be difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of the heavens.
again i say to you, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of god.” (mathew 19:23, 24, https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/matthew/19/) for jesus both “kingdom of heaven and kingdom of god” are interchangeable—they are one and the same.
when earth comes again under god’s rulership, earth becomes a “kingdom of heaven.” (mathew 5:3, 5) “those poor in spirit” are defined as those having no self-importance or egoless (mathew 16:24) and “the meek” too are egoless.

No, it's JW or nothing for me, and no, I'm not tied in by family. JWs basically ARE my 'family' and though they disappoint me, they're still 'family'.

The heavenly org consists of the spiritual beings who reside in heaven: Jehovah, Jesus, and the angels.

Jan, no need to apologize. I don't completely understand myself. I guess I'm a disappointed (with the earthly org) but devout (to the heavenly org) JW.

Jan, good question. Perhaps 'little flock' (Luke 12:32) and 'other sheep' (John 10:16)?

When it comes to "we must be ready to obey whether....it
by nowwhat? ini believe the the organization will tell it's members to sign over their mortgages and savings to the organization.
because of the impending fall of the financial institutions and the organization is the only place where it will be safe.
this has to be the only scenario possible because obviously they won't do a jonestown and where could 8 million flee to?

You obviously have never received an invitation to partake. There is no 'wishful thinking' involved.

The WT brings up the theme of fleeing
by Kosonen inhttps://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-january-2022/those-seeking-jehovah-will-lack-nothing-good/.
this article explains what a modern time application to fleeing might involve in the prophecy jesus told about the last days.. that is a timely reminder.
i think it will become soon possible to flee to australia from the mark of the beast.

There will be no safe haven from the 'mark'. "It puts under compulsion ALL people..." (Rev 13:16,17)

The GB will do whatever it takes (good or bad) to keep the earthly org functional.
