  My mother in law says she's anointed but she's also a 4 time divorced asshole.

  The main difference between a "genuine" claim to be of the anointed and a dubious claim? The depth of the delusion.

  all JW's that claim to be anointed are making it up. There is no such thing as an anointed JW.

  There may be no such thing , but that does not mean that they are deliberately telling falsehoods. I have known some very genuine people who lived a lifetime in this faith and really believed that they had a calling from "The Lord" . Others I have known have been so emotional that their sudden professed anointing seemed the result of brain disturbance...... but they believed it.....

  Yep, bluesbrother. You're right. Seldom do religious people lie to others. They do, however, suffer from degrees of delusion - which is a form of lying to oneself and believing it.

  Here is the depth of thinking you will find at the top in WT Land.

  They change their FDS doctrine, quite possibly a reactionary move in response to the increasing number of partakers.

  Only WE are the FDS.

  "Don't try to write us letters or call us with your wacky ideas, fake anointed ones"

  They will probably stop reporting the number. After all, why report the number when only they are the FDS.

  When the JW gossip machine starts discussing this, more questions will start to pop in JW heads.

  More will start partaking, more will start thinking about the scriptures that command Christians to partake, and soon it will be a large number in the halls.

  Now the GB will have a real problem on their hands, all these presumptious JWs trying to knock on heaven's door.

  These guys can't find their way out of a paper bag, let alone lead "God's Organization".

  To say you are aninted, you have to say god anointed you, came to you personally and told you, you were special and destined for heaven.

  Now, see...... this DOESN'T actiually happen. So lies, delusions or pranksters are all that remain.
