If you partake of the wine and you are not "approved" status..... are you supposed to be cursed? Would you be "reproved"? Would they ignore you or call a JC?
There is not an approved list, the elders would not reprove you or call a JC. They certainly would have
two of them come talk to you at a later time, trying to figure why you partook when you clearly are not
anointed because you don't kiss their asses. Most congs. would "count" you as a partaker, although
I hear that some would just discount you and say they had no partakers.
Do you have to undergo some sort of questioning or tests, or perform some special something to be considered "annointed" ?
Their literature spells out (in a fuzzy way) what being anointed means, but there is no test.
They have absolutely no way of telling an individual (baptized or not, active or not) that they are or are not
anointed. They will tell you that you are not making their meetings or service requirements for a publisher,
so "how could you be anointed?" You could simply argue that you "know" you are.
Is there such a thing as "the curse of the unapproved annointed"?
The "curse" within the WT organization is being made a laughing stock in the congregation. Since you
"know" you are anointed, and they don't feel that you qualify, they will spread gossip within the cong. about
you. The pioneers and elderettes will be the most cruel. People will avoid you like the plague. If you were
an older person who has made their meetings and service until health prevented it, they might spare you and
chose to believe that you are just senile (or maybe even sincere and right).
How could one truly be an "annointed" and have such an air of superiority and distinction of being "more worthy" than others?
Most who make the claim don't truly have such an "air" about them. Even the GB members have a showy
display of how humble they really are. They don't wash the feet of rank & file members, but they give them
a few minutes of their time (if they can't avoid it) acting as if they are deeply concerned (unless the rank and
file member has questions that indicate doubt- then they tell them to read the literature and trust Jehovah and
his slave and they move on). The supposed anointed outside of the GB are generally humble. I don't know
about anointed ones in developing nations, though.
This "annointed" thing sounds like a JW sainthood class. Anything that causes such a division based on self-importance and the idea of being more special to God than you are, seems a travesty of what Christ tried to teach.
This is true. It was probably a huge problem in 1935 and for awhile afterward. I think that's why they spent
so much time pumping up the "other sheep." Today, they still separate the two, putting the GB in the place
of the representative of the anointed, but there are so few anointed ones (because they tell members that they
are not anointed) that members are just in awe of the ones they believe are anointed, especially the GB.
Also, did it ever really seem right to you...the way it was forbidden to you to participate?
Do you think the annointed truly know that they are?
It all seemed right when I was fully assimilated into their warped beliefs. Now it seems totally wrong.
In my humble opinion, there is no "anointed" but rather there are plenty of deeply religious people who
have had an "experience" that equates to being approved by God. It is like someone having "the calling"
to the priesthood or the missionary work It is like an artist seeing the most beautiful scene or work of
art. It is like a breakthrough in therapy. It is like "love at first sight." In other words, there are some
things in life that cause one to suddenly feel different.
