I find it curiously funny now that the WTS. says that people who partake and proclaim they are " Of the Anointed " are most likely mentally sick.
That makes a lot a JWS self proclaiming themselves anointed as people who are off their rocker (mentally diseased)
You know I think they're right, my mother-in-law says she's of the anointed, she's definitely off her rocker
looooool............This is the best i have read so far today, amazing work Terry, i only wished you had stayed back so the story would be much longer.
I wonder if Boot's grannie was reading a NWT bible. I guess it doesnt take much to be an anointed one.
My father professes to be of the annointed. I've heard people comment that when my father reads from the Bible it is as if he wrote it himself. He is a truly loving man who sees the faults of the organization, mostly that it does not display the mind of Christ.
He's probably the #1 reason why it took me nearly 3 decades to finally cut all ties with the evil empire.
I'd like to pose a serious question. Okay, the anointed are filled with Jehovah's holy spirit and are zealous for Righteousness to the bitter end.
Why wouldn't any and all anointed ones where ever they reside be completely pissed off and spoiling for a fight the way Jesus was outside the temple with the money changers?
You'd think all the blasphemous date-setting, doctrinal changes, flip-flops and excuses would make them boiling mad to the point they WOULD NOT TOLERATE the lack of love among the Governing Body!
Why wouldn't they do AS JESUS DID? Stand up in the middle of the Kingdom Hall and (using the full knowledge that everybody in the Hall KNOWS they are of the anointed) speak up and challenge the wrong teaching?
Isn't this the least you would expect of a defender of the faith? If not the anointed; who? If not now; when?
She told me I reminded her of the actor, Randolph Scott.
RANDOLPH SCOTT!!!
My only "anointed" experience was a brother who visited our hall one day. He had a hook for a hand. It was appanrent he wasn't all there in the head.

That is a great point. I imagine it happens here and there (although I don't believe it's because they are actually filled with holy spirit) but that they are either forced to back down or kicked to the curb by the local elders. Be careful what you wish for, as Rick Fearon will come along and say he fulfills that request.
The Anointed are subjective to the powers and controls like the rest of other class by the GB who are really chief executive editors for the WTS.
In the JW world the FDSL has more power over the Anointed class, dictated by none other than GB themselves.
You would think in some sort of reasonable sense that all of the GB members should be of the Anointed buts not the case.
The anointed at one time were under the control of people such as J Rutherford, the boozing, womanizing cad who drove around in
Cadillacs. Now there's a point of how pretentiously fraudulent this organization is.
