How will the present-day "anointed" react to their demotion?

Room 215

I wonder how they will respond to their demotion to parity with the "other sheep" as mere "domestics" in God's house. And what about the appontment of a 47 yeard-old to the Governing Boday? In my neck of the woods, the word of any forty-something who began partaking would fuel the gossip mill for weeks! It will be interesting to see what these events do to the number of partakers next year and beyond.

The JWs lack the brainpower to realize they have been demoted- deciphering facts and figures from WT gobbledygook has never been the forte' of JWs. I do hope I am wrong on this and the JWs finally stop being doormats for the WT corporation--

Why JWs suck at gameshows--

It will be interesting to see how they react considering how many of them are "mentally unstable".

Room 215: keep in mind not only a 47 year old partaking but he also had to "overlap" which means that the latest he could have started partaking was the memorial of 1992 as Fred Franz dies in December that year, so that puts him at a 27 year old partaking in 1992!!! I can well imagine the raised eyebrows back then if that took place.

I believe thats why the hesitation to come out with any formal announcement - his appointment does not fit with the prevailing "generation" understanding that the annointed that saw 1914 would overlap with the annointed that would see the end. Unless they state the current members are the offical overlappers.....

I have to staop I am trying to make sense of nonsense.

Simon Morley: I have to stop I am trying to make sense of nonsense.

Yes you do! ... lol.

Thanks for the laugh. You reminded me of what a mess this is and, ultimately, how silly it is for us to try and figure this out.

It's all about one thing: CONTROL.

Initially they will be grateful for the new light.

In a year or two, they'll have forgotten that the WTS ever taught otherwise.
