Do you believe God is using the governing body to lead his organization?

  We’re familiar with the statements about how a person’s claim to be anointed is between that God and the individual.

  The governing body went on to say: "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." - Question From Readers, w2011 8/15 p. 22

  If the governing body has no way of identifying the anointed and admits they have no need to identify them, if there is such a cloud of suspicion surrounding the mental health of those claiming to have the heavenly hope…

  … WHY IS IT SO DAMNED IMPORTANT TO HAUL SOMEONE IN THE BACK ROOM AND ASK WETHER THEY RECOGNISE THE GOVERNING BODY AS BEING ANOINTED AND USED BY GOD?

  Why do the lowly earth dwellers not enjoy the same lack of responsibility for identifying these people?

  LIke all men they are trying to build their own KIngdom on earth. The Messiah prophesied in Matthew about the end of fleshly ways of worship when he told the disciples aobut the destruction of Jerusalem and thetmeple in the 1st century. TH true churhc has been established since then it cannot be seen or touched it is spiritual. The KIngodm is ehre within you, All we got to do is enter in . The physicla representations of God ceased and are counterfiet to the real. The sons and daughters of God recognise it as being spiritual and many will ahve to go through anguish to get to it because they have put their trust in man. Your KIng has ruled since the 1st century. Hecame back for his anointed int he 1st century. The Great tribulation of that generation would never be seen again. All we got to do is free ourselves mentaly,emotionally and spiritually ofrm mans ways.Enter in and true joy,peace and love. All nations and tribes and tongues will recognise ot and enter in.

  Hi Zoos, they say they have no list of the ones who claim to be annointed, but surely it is something stated on everyone's record cards. So all that is needed is a figure from each cong of how many they have. So why do they say they have no record I wander?

  the whole thing is a web of corporate deception foisted on well meaning publishers etc....chopping and changing ideas and beliefs to suit/justify their own position. in the 30 years + I was in I have seen doctrines come and go. the generation fiasco and the are they or are they not the fds/annointed bluffing game have exposed the society as nothing more than men wandering in the dark...looking for new light switches..........!

  The GB has a list of names of every Branch overseer, Zone overseer, DO, CO, special pioneer, pioneer,, elder and ms but they don't need to know who the annointed, Brothers of Christ are? Very strange since they will sooooooooon be working together after the (new lite) rapture.
