  This has been something that has been in the back of my mind for quite a while. Are those claiming to be of the anointed amongst Jehovah's Witnesses really going to heaven? Many JW' view them as being on a higher spiritual plain than the average JW and that they view the Bible as a personal letter to them. Since so much of JW doctrin is unscriptural can those of the "remnant" really expect to go to heaven?

  My view is that these old-timers have been so indoctrinated by the Watchtower, over so many decades that they really believe they are Kingdom heirs with a view to ruling over the Paradise earth for 1000yrs. Tell me what your view of this is......

  I never seen any proof that people who claim to be chosen by God are such.
  If they could give proof then maybe , but as they say its a feeling inside.
  I think the're going to the same place as the rest of us , hell!
  Oh, I mean the commom grave of mankind.

  The anointed ones occupy a weird place in the Witness mythology.
  I recall knowing two of them when I was growing up. Well, not knowing them as in KNOWING them. They had an aura, a mystique surrounding them.I dont recall I ever noticed anyone speak to them. Probably most of the ordinary mortals at the meetings felt they were unworthy to engage one of the joint heirs in mundane conversation. Probably the joint heir in question just wished someone of the mere mortals would
  invite them around for a barby and a beer. But no. They were just old people that noone seemed interested in and noone noticed except on that one evening every year when they supped from the cup.
  When that moment came, every eye was(slyly) upon them.
  Every mind (I imagine) wondered what kind of a person it was that would rather sit on a throne in space than spend a thousand years screwing and establishing their own personal patriachy.Building your own Nation of blood descendants.
  After the annual ritual was over, they slipped back into their shadow world. The position doled to them by the society. Waiting like one of those underground insects for their next moment in the sunshine a year hence.

  Refiners Fire,

  I wonder where you get this mythology from? All the anointed ones I know was well associated by others.

  Anoint: To smear with oil or ointment.
  ....... To put oil on in a religious ceremony.

  Per Funk & Wagnalls Standard Desk Dictionary.

  Now I don't know about you people, but I have never seen a
  so called anointed JW get smeared with anything.

  So where do they get the idea that they are anointed?

  OK. Let's say that they are what they say.
  They should be able to answer why the WTS has gotten so many things wrong. Correct?

  Now we must ask these so called anointed JWs.
  Have they also taught the same false teachings the WTS has over the years?

  If the answer is yes, How is it that they can claim to be anointed by God?
  Do not the scriptures stress that God is a God of truth?

  That being so, What explanation can the Anointed JWs give as to the reason that they have taught falseness regarding God?

  They may think that they are anointed, but is an anointment with the WTBTS NOT with God.
