The Anointed.
According to common belief among JW's, the Anointed class are the only recipients of the Christian Greek Scriptures, that is to say, it is aimed directly for the ones with the hope of heavenly association with Jesus Christ.
Now, we have been taught that the anointed class are here to teach, and help the secondary class, ie the earthly hopers, to learn about Jehovah and his promises, and by association with them....gain salvation through the ransom sacrifice.
So, according to published figures, there are between 8 and 9 thousand partakers of the emblems left on Earth. Correspondingly, according to written word from the GB, the sealing of the anointing concluded in 1935.
The latest additions to the Governing Body, are in their 50s.
The Governing body membership fluctuates from 4 to 18 depending on where in the 20th century, 21st century it was at the time.
The Society is not really aware of the names addresses or reliability of those claiming to be anointed, or indeed take messages or advice from them.
Let me get this right. The christian Greek scriptures give the commission to all those sealed in knowledge with Christ to preach and teach and do the work. The WTBTS say the sealing was completed in 1935 yet appoint men of youthful years, accepting their claim of anointing against their own stated understanding. The Governing Body do not acknowledge or take correspondence or advice from co sharers in the heavenly hope, but direct them too. and goodness gracious gravy!! There are women who claim to be of the anointed as well!
I guess the point is, there is a fundamental closed mentality and basic dishonesty in what is written, and what really happens.
This I understand. Its the only thing that makes sense.
