They have to say they are anointed so they can join the GB. I know a few years ago, a position opened up on the GB and then all of a sudden, a member of the great crowd that was at Bethel all of a sudden became anointed?
In order to be anointed by Holy Spirit, you must be showing evidence of all the fruitage of the spirit. And I am not saying you will be perfect but I will say this: Your anointing means you are one of Christ's brothers and his FOOT STEP followers. Now really, is the GB following in Christ's footsteps? I think if Jesus was on earth right now he would call them all pharisitical hypocrites! Jesus once asked some who claimed to follow him "why do you call me Lord, when you do not do as I say?". The fact that the GB is not protecting innocent children, not taking care of widows, not showing love for others by putting the needs of the sheep ahead of their own, not being honest about any matters concerning the flock including financial decisions, is guilty of false prophecising, puts a heavy yoke on the flock, and does not even thank Christ in any way for the so-called spiritual food but rather takes all the thanks themselves, plus much more.....well, they are showing by their own works they are not Christ's brothers. Therefore, (and I usually would not judge) it is obvious they are not.
