I think Rick Fearon AKA Kool Aid Man professed to be of the annointed when he was a jw. As he's still a believer of Christianity, I would assume he still considers himself annointed, but I don't know for sure. You may want to pm and ask him.

Thank you all for your comments and sharing your experiences with me. I am having a good look at everything you have posted and references you recommend. I will come back with some thoughts and/or questions later once I have processed what is here so far. Thanks also for the humour, you have given me some giggles along the way too. Always makes a nice break from too much seriousness.......
Lozhasleft - There are so many things about your story I can relate to. (not being annointed) but living with alcoholism and the destructive effects it has on family for sure. It is crazymaking behavour that makes you question your own sanity.
saltyoldlady - You have said so much, gonna go back and read it again.
punkofnice - I was also of the 'disappointed class'
willyloman - How many "annointed" dubs decide at some point that they are not and abandon the concept
This is something I would like to know......anyone????
onthewayout - Ha!!, go for it. Then you can give me some first hand information.
sweetbabycheezits - Fabulous!!!! might see if my partner will annoint me later. And I know its selfish, but I wont be posting on here how I felt about it.
este - same, see above comment
sabastious & desirousofchange - we definately cant write that off as a possibility......but then I'm am no expert.
clarity - hugggggggs back to you, you deserve some
ding - unfortunately I don't have a copy of his book. I got it out at the library. so can't check that right now. I do recall him saying it was unbiblical. But did he go further into why he thought he was annointed?
jgnat - dont know why but when I tried to open that link the writing just keep going for miles across the page so unfortunately couldnt read it.
I take it you don't feel like you will be ruling as kings though? Or do you? There seem to be a variety of christian beliefs around this. I have christian family members (non JW) who feel they will be ruling in heaven with Jesus. But when I asked them who they would be ruling over, they had no idea. I'm still waiting for them to get back to me on that.

Back in the day, there were two annointed partakers at our KH.
One was a sweet old, old lady who had been around since early Rutherford days (maybe even pre-Rutherford). I think she was the first Bible Student or JW in our town.
The other was a complete pompous asshole, who moved in from out-of-state, and immediately set about taking charge of the KH under his cult of personality. He had a bunch of people snowed. There were actually a number of folks that followed him from his old out-of-state congreation and moved to our town, just to be with him, THAT'S how strong his cult of personality was. He was a cult-within-a-cult, if that's possible.
Turns out he only showed up at our KH because he had been tar-and-feathered back at his old KH. They (the elders from the old KH) finally caught up with him and had him disfellowshipped.
What a day that was.

Anointing is for kings.......where does it say there are 144,000 of them?

OTWO has it right: the WTS decided that the heavens' full capacity of 144,000 was reached in 1935...so automatically all that was left as a hope for the rest of mankind was earthly paradise...until the number of partakers started to grow and the WTS had to admit that they do not know when the celestial call would end! So stay posted, you may get the call!
