in your time as jws did you ever meet any of the annointed?
did they have good christian personalities and what did they think of the wts and its governing body ?
i met one and he was very unhappy with the way the gb treated him and generally the way they run this society, he told me he wrote them two letters containing a long list of complaints with full scriptural support but he was ignored, first letter got a reply amounting to "no need to write to us" the second one no reply at all.

People who believe they are anointed just know. I have heard it explained that if you think you may be anointed but have doubts then you are not. The anointed are human and just as capable of gross sin as anyone else. The entire Governing Body being a good example of anointed folks causing great harm.
My personal opinion is that anyone thinking they are going to heaven or anywhere after death is a symptom of mental illness.
genius.
total freakin genius.. .

In Arroyo Grande, California 1977 I knew an elderly anointed brother Fred Plaxco. He was a great guy and had no beefs with the GB. I also knew an elderly anointed sister named Lutz in Hurricane, Utah.
In Ventura, California 1973 an anointed pioneer sister in her 30's Betty Lucadou conducted a bible study with my mother. After I moved away from Ventura I heard that Betty had been disfellowshipped and her husband divorced her.

prudes, (especially jws) are so judgmental.
I was very prudish. I used to turn off the radio in my car when it would play "Afternoon Delight" I would not go to R rated movies.
I have since become very open, free and non-judgemental.
I am not a whore because I give it away for free.
since investigating the history of the society i thought i would do research on the dawn bible society to others known as the russellites.

Chronology and Pyramids were two things I could not accept but the Bible Students did not shun me for not believing.

From 1990 - 1993 I associated with the Bible Students. At that time there were hundreds if not thousands of Romanian Russellites making themselves known to the American and Canadian Bible Students for the first time.
In the United States, the biggest Bible Student groups are the Dawn Bible Students, the Chicago Bible Students and the Fort Worth Bible Students. There is a large group in the Pacific Noethwest and Ohio.

I used to subscribe to their magazine The Dawn. The Dawn Bible Students are very nice people.
The Dawn Bible Students sponsored a radio broadcast called Frank and Earnest (long before the comic strip of the same name).
I always thought that most Witnesses would be much happier as Bible Students if the Witnesses only knew they still exist.
