Well endless stupid things are spouted from the platform -and pass unchallenged. Doesn't mean those things are officially promulgated though. It is only when those stupid things are published that we can state with any certainty, "Yep, the sh*t still flows from the very top".

Their anointing did not elevate them to kingship over fellow anointed Christians while still on earth.

I think the 7/15/13 WT obliterated this statement.

GB = "faithful slave", the elite.

all the rest of the anointed: who cares, they are just mentally and emotionally disturbed "domestics". They count for so little we, the GB, don't even know who they are and don't talk to them:

Memorial

partakers. This is the number of baptized individuals who partake of the emblems at the Memorial worldwide. Does this total represent the number of anointed ones on earth? Not necessarily. A number of factors—including past religious beliefs or even mental or emotional imbalance—might cause some to assume mistakenly that they have the heavenly calling. We thus have no way of knowing the exact number of anointed ones on earth; nor do we need to know. The Governing Body does not keep a list of all partakers, for it does not maintain a global network of anointed ones

Organized religion is just an agreement toward an established set of lies, therefore all there is for mankind to do

is pick which lies and liars to support.

w12 1/15 p. 29 par. 14 A Royal Priesthood to Benefit All Mankind

Where would those in the new covenant serve? On earth, where, as a group, they would serve as a priesthood, representing Jehovah to people by ‘declaring abroad his excellencies’ and providing spiritual food. (Matt. 24:45; 1 Pet. 2:4, 5) After their death and resurrection, they would serve with Christ in heaven as both kings and priests, fully carrying out the functions of both offices.

w13 3/1 p. 9 Did Jesus Promise the Evildoer Life in Heaven?

Only by meeting those requirements can they show themselves worthy of being resurrected and qualified for the weighty responsibility awaiting them in heaven, namely, serving as priests and kings with Christ over mankind for a thousand years.

It only took the GB 14 months to do a U - turn about where they would serve as priests!!

Apognophos

Those caricatures are really good, where did that come from?

prologos

searcher: good catch and of course

The new covenant does not introduce them to kingship/ priesthood, it merely covers their 'sins', it is the

KINGDOM covenant that would do that and the sacrificial death.

The new covenant, cleverly hidden bi WT writers, ia for all, not just the priest kings to come. right???

They are also negating the new covenant by non-partaking and:

God's law should be in our hearts not our ipads, hard drives.

No, you're not imagining it. The GB really are their high priests!
