For the past 30+ years there has been a secret war by the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses and the WTB&TS against those Witnesses who profess to be of the annointed. There are Circuit Overseers who have made it a hobby to travel around, target annointed, and work to get them disfellowshipped.
The idea is promoted that if someone was truly of the annointed the would be at Bethel and in charge of something. The reason for promoting this idea is that it helps validate attacks against those who profess to be of the annointed. Elders in prestigious positions who are not of the annointed often feel their position is threatened by those who are.
The WTB&TS turns a blind eye to it all because they have been systematically engineer things to move themselves in the position of total authority on earth. The Governing Body is becoming the Popes of Brooklyn and headquarters in New York is their Vatican. If someone asks the question, "Who is the faithful and discreet slave" be very careful how you answer.
At my father professes to be of the annointed. He was brought before a judicial committee of 3 elders, all of the "Other Sheep". They asked him who he believed the faithful and discreet slave was. He answered, "Those annointed who are still living on earth". They asked him if he thought he was part of the faithful and discreet slave. He answered, "Yes".
He was disfellowshipped with no reason given. He was reinstated about a year later, but then we had a new District Overseer come through who told the congregation elders that he was not to be called on to answer or used in anyway. That lasted until we got a new District Overseer.
The bottomline is the same as it is with anything else. A minority will always play second fiddle to the majority. You have a group of men who feel they have godlike powers inside the Kingdom Hall and want no one or nothing to interfere with it. This is because the moment they walk outside the Kingdom Hall they turn back into window washers and toilet scrubbers.
