global network of anointed why not?
i have uploaded a new article to my blog answering the question of why watchtowers governing body does not form and maintain a global network of anointed ones.
i think reader should find it interesting, in view of very detailed records watchtower is known to keep.
Exactly dgp! You're in the "special group" of anointed, but you have no power. I used to ponder this quite a bit myself, as my grandmother was one of the anointed. I wondered, if the "remnant" were of the same mind and spirit in their hope, why would they NOT want to congregate in one area to share their collective knowledge and resources.
Of course I now know the answer is, "Well,...uh...ya, so you're of the anointed too! Isn't that pleasant! However,.... you're not a signer on the account."
Speaking of missing persons, where are Beks and Villalobo? Haven't seen them in a while. Did they get banned?
As I recall, those folks had some of the nicest things to say to others....
lately, i have noticed that many suddenly have died or as it is usually expressed, died "unexpectedly" in the local obituaries.. i have come to know of many young people suddenly deciding to kill themselves for whatever reasons.
most that i have known about had either financial or personal issues and sadly, they just gave up.. i wonder if we were suddenly gone, would people take notice?.....
(and don't worry about me.

this afternoon i had the pleasure of listening to my dad, husband and son discuss timing belts, the teeth they rest on, camshafts, and other car parts that i cant recall at such a late hour.
they were totally engrossed in the conversation and it was fun listening to them talk.
the air was thick with testosterone and they were so manly that i just had to smile about it.
Awwww.....that was touching. Thanks for sharing...
this year alone, three wifes in my congo left their husband and da with jws (all of them have kids).
similar cases are seen in nearby congos.
its striking that far more women leave their man and the jws then man do.. i would like to know, whether this observation can be made in your area too.
Morbid ~ It sounds like you had a rough start, and I didn't intend any disrespect. I hope things go better for you in future....
let the crazyness begin ... omg woman killed her son.
people killing animals.
why ...the rapture is coming!.
Let the Koolaid drinking begin.... ;(
i looked on the web and can't seem to find any numbers.
are they as big as the jw's?
approximately 7mil.
What is it with the nut jobs??

Morbid,
Sounds pretty one sided. Not saying you didn't have a bad experience. However....it appears that no one put a gun to your head to force you to marry your JW husband.
Your story is too lopsided, all in favor of you, as if you were an angel in the relationship and he was the devil. Why did you marry him if he was so terrible? Wonder what his side of the story would sound like?
There are always three sides of a story. Your side. His side. And the truth.....
Kind of sounds like an inflated boo hoo poor me story... I'm probably wrong, but that's how it comes across.
"We separated, he gave me permission, no ENCOURAGED ME, to have a boyfriend knowing full well that I might go further than the JW's deem I should. But he gave me his blessing to date other men. For that, he should have been DF'ed...but when I did do a little more than just kissing, he divorced me and got remarried right away." - Sounds like you were more interested in revenge than moving on with your life.

approximately 7mil.
It sounds like (and I'm just guessing) this group is bigger than just a few thousand people. I'm thinking... 250,000???
Any other guesses?
