Is the policy that if an anointed one sins or for some reason needs to be removed or something they can’t just be demoted to other sheep with an earthly hope?
this is exactly what Steve Letts niece says that her uncle told her here https://youtube.com/watch?v=0ues7FN3rCE&feature=sharec

Was Anthony Morris III lost?
I like the lyrics to Amazing Grace...
"Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
This grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright, shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see."
(I think there is an expression "not all who wander are lost...")
I am not privy to the details of Anthony Morris III's situation, but I do know that Jesus got the beating we all deserved. I am glad the ransom is enough to cover my sins. If Anthony Morris III repents of whatever he's done in his life and has faith in the ransom, then Jesus' blood is enough for him too.

Christianity is perverse.

"The Rock, perfect is his activity,
For all his ways are justice.
A God of faithfulness who is never unjust;
Righteous and upright is he.
They are the ones who have acted corruptly.
They are not his children, the defect is their own.
They are a crooked and twisted generation."
There are many who have twisted the clean sayings of God. Anthony Morris III was part of the GB/FDS who as a group upheld certain teachings that dishonored Jehovah God and the Christ.
Christianity is not perverse, but sometimes humans misunderstand and that misunderstanding distorts the truth.
Jesus will make all things clear in time.

Come on, we all know the second house is for Tony's pregnant mistress.

As others have noted, I think they learned something from their handling of Ray Franz. They can't keep him from testifying in court if summoned, but they can keep him from writing a book. Giving him a house and whatever he might need, contingent on keeping his mouth shut is doable.
I'm also guessing that where they hid him was in a residential rehab facility. If he really did have a drinking problem, getting him dried out would be a priority. The last thing they want is a raging alcoholic GB member giving press conferences. They also can't give out details of his health problems (HIPPA) but they can say he is being treated. When the time comes they could try to sell all of this to the rank and file as an example of Jehovah taking care of the flock.

Crowd fund him a better home and a pallet of whisky - he will talk.

That is correct, eternal life on earth is not a runner up prize to heaven.
I knew a sister, one of the anointed who fell away in the 1940/50's. When her son died in tragic circumstances in the 60's she returned to the organisation. At first she did not partake but was told by the CO that she should partake for the reason above, She continued to partake until her death years later.

The second house is clearly for the secret meetings of The Kurfuffles - the secret organization that rules the world from the shadows.
