Well, if the GB are recruiting from among the non-anointed "suggesting" they get the call, I'lve never heard of it. The elders are usually right there questioning the validity of their "calling." Is it possible, yes; probable, no.
uninformed, www.freeminds.org is a wonderful site of good information.

Mathead the point you made out is important the GB claim to be anointed and get inspiration from god yet their dogma was always in amess which means that their god is unable to give them the right info the first time round and he has to try again and often several times and still no one knows if the latest info is finally correct.
That is a very strange god that they have and it's certainly not the god that we know of, He can always get it right from the first time.
I wonder about this statement:
He can always get it right from the first time.
He created Adam and he turned out sinful. He appointed David as king and he did several things wicked, Moses didn't even make it to the promised land. Judas was appointed one of the 12 apostles and betrayed Jesus. Soloman fell for a bunch of women, Samson fell for one too. When it comes to picking humans I don't think he does too well. It makes me wonder about that statement.

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?
I was informed all that was needed to be annointed is that you are filled with Gods holy spirit and then you know you are his chosen one. Then you can partake at the memmorial service and you are annointed.
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.
