Whoever eats the loaf or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty.—1 Cor. 11:27.

 

How might an anointed one partake “unworthily” at the Memorial? He would do so if he ate and drank the emblems but was not living up to Jehovah’s righteous standards. (Heb. 6:4-6; 10:26-29) Anointed ones realize that they must stay faithful if they want to receive “the prize of the upward call of God by means of Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 3:13-16) Jehovah’s holy spirit helps his servants to be humble, not proud. (Eph. 4:1-3; Col. 3:10, 12) So anointed ones do not feel that they are better than others. They know that Jehovah does not necessarily give anointed ones more holy spirit than he gives his other servants. They do not feel that they have a deeper understanding of Bible truths than anyone else. And they would never tell someone else that he too has been anointed and should start partaking at the Memorial. Instead, they humbly acknowledge that only Jehovah invites people to go to heaven. w20.01 27-28 ¶4-5

When we consider those in governmental office today, we hear of scandals, improper behavior,  taking of bribes, wasteful spending etc.. How the government system of today pains many and are looked down upon.  Those of the anointed class must be free from all such corruption. They will become a government we can all look up to. Another reason to trust this new heavenly Gov't is that it is Jehovah who does the choosing, not imperfect man.

[Elnathan]

Even if Most of us are not the anointed, we can treat God’s gift as something of ordinary value or something common & this will bring an insult to both Jehovah & Jesus. 

We must be grateful for what Jesus has done for us by exercising genuine faith in the Ransom, imitating Jesus example when dealing with others & put first in our life Jehovah’s worship. If we do that we will be counted among those who will acquire earthly reward.
