there's nothing like somebody that isn't one claiming they know the requirements for being one
so true.

Actually, if you had been a member of the WTS (Bible Student) between 1879 and up to 1930, most likely everyone in the congregation would have been anointed and partaking at the Memorial.
Probably even much later then that in many places. I wasn’t born yet so I have no memory of it, but my grandmother use to partake in the 30’s and maybe even into the 40’s. I don’t know when she stopped, but my mother never stopped. There was a time when both my mother and grandmother were partaking, my grandmother stopped but my mother continued. This would have been well into the 30's. Late 30's at least.
I couldn't say one way or another if my mom is really anointed or just thinks she is or just wants to be. Lately if I HAD to guess I would guess no but what do I know. Her entire congregation believes she is anointed including the PO and his wife, they've told me so. She has slipped into Alzheimer’s pretty deep the past few years and not a whole lot of anything makes much sense when it comes to her behavior other then illness. However, there was a time when she seemed to be sharp enough to even break away from the society. I remember many times her showing her disgust toward the GB and the things they would "feed" to the congregations. I think she must have believed the screw-ups from Brooklyn were part of bible prophecy. She would excuse them.
