Blondie:
Of course the Watchtower Society has a problem in "identifying the adherents of light following the death of the apostles and early disciples of Christ down to our modern time" (W.T. Sept. 15, 1974, page 561. How they came to believe as the modern Jws do since they read the Bible on their own without W.T. explanations we are also not told. And if people could come to the light without the W.T., why can they not do so today?
Moreover, if Russell or Rutherford were living today they would be disfellowshipped for some of their beliefs. The modern W.T. Society doesn't agree with their former teachers. But, then "the light keeps getting brighter and brighter." Who then can be walking in darkness?
Annointed before 1840??? &Before JW`s???

According to Romans, chapter 8, the "revelation of the sons of god" will soon be upon us. At that time, everyone will know exactly who was of the annointing and reigning in heaven.

They offer the explanation that it is actually the 144,000 most faithful witnesses who become the anointed.
Whoever said that was not thinking... for this to be true EVERYONE of the "potential" anointed would have to be held in limbo until the last minute. Only then would the "most faithful" be pulled out of the pool.
I don't think this fits well with JW doctrine.

"Huh? What the hell? What am I doing back on earth?!?! I was supposed to be changed in a twinkling of an eye and sent to heaven!!!"
