I wonder if he'd notice that the Governing Body(tm)(pee be upon them), of a Corporation now solely owned that title excluding all others by calling them irrelevant and/or bonkers.

What Would Grandfather Say Now?
by LostintheFog1999 inmy late grandfather believed he was one of the anointed.
that aside when asked about whether the jw organisation would last, he would pull out the attached wt magazine (the second edition) and say "if the day ever comes when the organisation asks for money outright, it will be proof that jehovah is not it's backer.
" that's how convinced he was that such a thing would never happen.. i often wonder what my grandfather would make of the modern organisation today..

PPete - Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days
No thanks. It'll be sopping wet if the ducks haven't eaten it.

COVID 19 - DISSOCIATION LETTER
by gavindlt indear friends,.
i think you all know me as a person who has always strived, despite my imperfections to only ever wanting to be and remain in the “truth”.
it is in fact what i so desperately want for my son ashton and my baby girl honey bee, to be lovers of truth and grow up to be a loyal servants of jehovah god and his son, jesus christ.

As I said before, the letter is way too long. For this reason they'll assign it to the 'crank file'.
Perhaps you got it all out of your system though.

That one about the bloke that tried to steady the ark of the covenant made me think that god was a vindictive bully. I can't be bothered looking for the scripture at the moment because I no longer believe all that guff.

What's your take on being anointed. What requirements do you have to fulfill?
by Hellothere inmy personal opinion is someone that's gonna rule in heaven, has to prove himself on earth before.
so satan don't have accusations against that person.
a christian king is a loving one.

I don't really believe all this stuff. I guess from a JW perspective this:
The Governing body(tm) (pee be upon them), have now commandeered their whole 'anointed(tm)' label for themselves as CEO's, exclusively.
This, in my opinion, is because as a Corporation, they cannot allow the rank and file(tm) to get any prestige thru' the Corporation's own interpretation of their own corrupted version of the Bible. The GB(tm) (Pee be upon them), retain all control of their weird interpretation of their own 'Holy Scriptures(tm) (Oddly, not called the Bible).
These CEO's probably don't believe their own doctrine because they know that they are not a religion. They have now become just a big business fooling people into believing they're a religion to keep the cash rolling in for the CEOs to live like rock stars.
It's all just a big scam where lives are lost and ruined......and the leaders in the business don't care as long as they're ok.

The more you look at how they're now swinging the 'anointed(tm)' schtick, is the more you can see how totally corporate and non religious they are becoming.
The new GB members = businessmen not religious.
I'd be surprised if any of them actually believe in god.

Shunning and persecution
by Vanderhoven7 injws see shunning as a loving provision.
but if a mennonite gal is shunned by her parents and friends for converting to jwism, would this be seen as a loving provision or as evidence of persecution?
how about parents beating a daughter who converted to jehovah's witnesses?.

Anyone would think it's a just a corrupt big business and discriminating cult pretending to be a religion.

Anointed are nuts - August 15, 2011 Watchtower (the study edition) pg 22 QfR: 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. -

NW - The letters read about the 2 sisters who had tears of joy for reducing the pioneer hours.
It makes me think these were just fictional letters. that's the type of fraud the Watchtower(tm) could pull.
