What applies to the dump class and the anointed class has to be completely different because the New Testament applies to the anointed and not to the dumb class also known as the jonadab class , so what do you think? Has any ex elders here had any experience in this?
How would a jc be conducted by the elders concerning one that's claims he's anointed?

From what I recall sisters were question but brothers I don't recall any that claimed to be anointed.
The sister I knew not one were raised in the borg or born in they were single or
involved in a abusive marriage to a unbeliever, I don't know if that makes a difference.
But I wonder what are the figures for anointed, born in vs those that came in as adults.
Those of you that still attend to day who are the new ones partaking, born in or those folks that
wasn't raised in the borg?
The years I spent in the organization I do not recall one brother who claimed to be of the anointed or
start partaking in the years I was in the borg. In other words all the families I knew that became JW's in
the 60's and 70's not one brother claimed to be of the anointed, but there were a few sisters,(my sister for one).
The bothers I knew were partaking for years before I became a JW.....

It probably depends a lot on whether the are viewed as genuine anointed or crackpot anointed. Not all anointed are equal.
A member of the governing body could expect radically different treatment than an eccentric nobody who takes the wine at your local Kingdom Hall.
We know that two GB members were kicked off the GB. Did they have judicial committees? It's not hard to imagine that lesser anointed JWs might have been DFed in similar circumstances, but if you're on the GB then demotion is considered sanction enough.

slimboyfat: I agree "eccentric". The sisters I knew were eccentric but the other sisters in
the KH were their flock. One sister I knew very well from HS, she was weird in HS and when
she became a JW years later after HS she became even more of a weirdo.

We had a CO who said he was anointed. Actually, two. One was Bob Simons. I forget the other one's name. Then Sister Simons began to partake also. I know a brother who was in his twenties and he professed to be anointed, then announced that the Org was corrupt. He was bounced out on his ear. Nice guy, but a little strange.

Not necessarily with the "anointed". I saw a few elders who were the typical narcissistic manipulator hiding behind the bible and the jehovah nonsense to always be an exception to the rules.

Every "anointed" JW I've ever met was - despite being very nice - just a little "off" (to varying degrees)...
...so you'd think they'd be welcomed with open arms... :smirk:
