I think when you learn about group dymanics and the pressure being in a group, especially a cult that relies on supernatural unsubstianted things, over time reality becomes distorted and irrational behavior ensues.

maybe he is making a run for the GB, lol. he has always been a humble "good" elder, genuinely interested in helping the flock, he has never been a glory hound or anything in fact he never even was PO when I was growing up, not sure about now. i guess my mom has come to terms with it and they both feel that they will still be in touch somehow, not sure if thats 'new light' or something but i don't remember it working that way.

I can totally see my ex-husband who is a very anal JW doing something like this so he can cope with his choices in that religion. I feel sorry for him because happiness has always alluded him on any real level.

Everyone who becomes anointed leaves a "Great Crowd Widow/Widower"
Aside from that I actually hope that the floodgates open. A Great Crowd which was smaller than the Little Flock would be highly amusing.

Nobody could ever explain the whole, " I go to heaven ,but sorry honey you will stay and help clean up dead bodys after the big A " thing to me without sounding like they had no clue.
The one annointed I knew was so out there that most believed they were crazy. I can only think that the ones that do decide to claim to be annointed are starved for attention and will for sure get it ,From #1 other loose nuts who believe them or #2 loose nuts that don't.
