This question from another thread, Why is the # for annointed still in the 8,000's?
made me wonder if this had been asked before.
The newest members of the Governing Body were not always anointed. The GB needs
to get some younger blood on that Body soon.
Is it possible that Bethelites or Branch workers with authority start developing the idea
on their own that they are now anointed "replacements" or do you think the GB tells them
something to get them thinking that they should be anointed? Complex question, but
what do you think?
My answer- the GB tells people in authority to start researching certain articles and gives
them the impression that their work would be taken more seriously if they were anointed.
Then they see which ones kiss their asses and suggest that they are SOOOO spiritual.
"Is it possible that you are anointed?" "Brother Jaracz was talking about your qualifications."
"Make sure we know if you get chosen, because we'll put you on our short list."
