All the GB have to be anointed (or at least claim to be and recognized as such by the other members of the GB).
Why do you ask?

You MUST be anointed to serve on the GB. No exceptions.

Anyone can be "anointed" according to JW doctrine. They say they are, and they are.
Now, if you ask how many are actually guided by holy spirit to help people to know what God's Will is, well then none of them are.

Well I thought that they all had to be anointed as well, but I read somewhere on another board that there were a few members of the GB that were not anointed.
Just wanted to check to see if I had my facts right….

I think you may be confusing that some of the GB are NOT of the 1914 generation.

This is just self marketing propaganda, for nothing but themselves.
I'm an anointed too, Homerovah
