  I've known quite a few "anointed" of all ages and the vast majority didn't want to communicate with other "anointed". They viewed each other as competition.

  Why bother with a coup? Just let it fade in to obscurity. I think we're seeing the start of it now. Momentum is lost in much of the developed world, and we are beginning to see a slow decline. Apathy and lack of empathy is a huge problem for the society, if the frantic articles are any indication.

  In the 1st century the prospective anointed followed Christ. They didn't try to reform anything. "Get out of her my people."

  Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another. Romans 12:10
  
  "THE truth seems to take hold on the stronger characters rather than on the weaker ones. The former have in their flesh more of the firmness, grittiness, and combativeness than have many others, who are too pliable and "wishy-washy" to be acceptable to the Lord as members of the "little flock" of overcomers. Thus we see that the very quality which makes us acceptable to the Lord and which is one qualification of the overcoming position, is a serious disadvantage in some respects, when a number of these come together as a church. Even a diamond surrounded by mud would cut nothing, would scratch nothing; but place a dozen diamonds together, and the more you get rid of the mud element the more gritting, scouring, and cutting there is likely to be. So it is with the Lord's jewels--the more they come together, the more they get wakened up, the more opportunities there will be for friction, and the greater necessity there will be that all be thoroughly imbedded in and covered with the Holy Spirit, which, like oil, is smooth and unctuous and tends to prevent friction." Z'12-99 R4995:5

  They haven't got a chance since they are relatively few and thoroughly dispersed around the world. True some of them are fruitcakes but many are in a better spiritual shape than the GB members who are in fact just a bunch of power lusting wolves that want to lord it over everyone else and are of a very low and dubious spiritual quality.
  
  In reality there are no two classes in the Christian church just one and that is the anointed class. Everyone must be part of the new covenant and anointed or else one is nothing.
