Given all that has been stated regarding us "other sheep," what, then, of that very special connection the anointed have with both Jesus and Jehovah?
The unquestionable reassurance of a personal relationship with God was the touchstone of our faith. Was our house of faith actually built upon sand? Was all we held dear simply a well-developed and fleshed-out figment of our collective imaginations?
Speaking of the anointed, a dear old anointed sister told me over 50 years ago that she and her likewise "anointed" husband were the only residents in town not affected by mass hallucination. The citizenry witnessed the arrival of aliens; she and her husband, however, did not.
Jehovah, apparently, spared them from witnessing what had to have been a demonic manifestation. It all makes sense to me now.
