  Separation of Powers

  " 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."

  Ok then, if there is no way of knowing how many there are and factors like "past religious beliefs or even mental or emotional imbalance" can have a bearing on whether one is or isn't, then how can anyone really trust that the GB is really anointed? Maybe their "mental or emotional" state to be part of the ruling elite moved them to profess and partake. The fact that the people that chose them are all part of the same inner circle makes it no different than the way the Mormons choose their Quorum of the 12. In this case, however, there are only 8.

  Just a thought,

  NO ... God doesn't have an organization here on earth ...

  GOD long ago gave HIS ONLY SON for whomever believes in him shall not perish but have EVERLASTING LIFE!

  God's plan for salvation was FINISHED and STARTED when JESUS died and resurrected!

  Reasonably, any replacement would come, not from among newly baptized ones, but from among those who have stuck with Jesus in his trials through many years of faithful service. The brilliant flashes of spiritual light that came through The Watchtower in the 1920’s and 1930’s indicate that the gathering of the remnant of anointed ones was practically completed during that period.

  This quote taken from the March 1, 1992, issue of The Watchtower, page 20, paragraph 17.

  I wonder how many years many years would be when Sanderson is quite young and relatively newly baptized?

  God did not file the articles of incorporation or the ficticious business name statement for the watchchowder. Every one of the KH's is a seperate corporation as i understand it. So yah. Whatever.

  Unless someone has acurate understanding of the bible thier mental. To think that holyspirit mixes with your spirit then you know, very narsassitic and phycopathic. The chapter in romans 8 is speaking of the differences between spiritual people and fleshly no more. And it goes on to state in verse 9 that if one does not have the holy spirit then if fact their not with christ at all. Theres no such thing as a lesser christian your either with him and follow him or you don't. Chapter 2 of romans pionts out that there is no distiction among christians, no ones higher or anointed and others are not, all who believe in christ are sons of God. Its a Cult!
