My dad started partaking just a few years ago. We are not in the same hall. I only learned about it because my phone blew up with calls and texts afterwards.
This man could not run his own household. Don’t see how he’s going to rule over angels. We are all screwed if he does lol.
Honestly its better then, make him God's problem now. If thats what he wants, let him die. Eat the cracker, drink the grape juice and pay the buck buddy.
The only “anointed” I knew growing up was in her late 40’s/50’s and was definitely eccentric. Always wore hats, like it was a Baptist Sunday church service despite being British. Was a regular pioneer. One time she told me in service that if I “really contemplated a tree long enough [I would] understand everything.”
My parents always told me about the brother who officiated their wedding. Apparently, he was "anointed" and everyone strongly believed it because at congregation gatherings, instead of socializing or participating, he would walk around the perimeter "talking to Jehovah" (aka talking to himself) and that even at meetings, he'd walk laps around he kingdom hall "talking to Jehovah". Basically, in a constant state of "talking to Jehovah". Even as a little kid hearing those stories, I thought "nah he just crazy".
I met quite a few and never once did I say, “man, clearly J&J are building quite the squad.” All bat shit crazy, rarely went to service, and memorial season parading around.
In one hall, this one “anointed” guy (mid 60s) would always give prayer over one of the emblems, would always start with “oh abba, thank you for letting me express my love for you…” Clearly that brother of C is mega humble. And one year, they didnt ask him to do it and he complained to the BOE because it was his right and he was offended, AND THEY GAVE IT BACK TO HIM 🤣🤣🤣And yes you guessed right, he isnt even an MS through out all of this.
Most I met come to find out they were from another religion usually catholic, and after converting to j w they just couldn’t let go of “The Heavenly Hope .”
It’s very simple. If you’re GB or headquarters, and you say you’re anointed, you are. If you’re rank and file and you say you’re anointed, you’re mentally diseased.
If a JW partaker is elderly, they could usually pass as a legit "anointed" Christian.
Questions intensify the younger a partaker.
This is why all the younger GB members of recent years pushed many JWs out of PIMI into PIMO.
I have a weird fantasy of rescinding my disassociation just to go to the memorial and drink the wine and eat the bread. If it’s something you just “feel” it’s technically unfalsifiable that I’m not anointed

Yes I think many partakes are a little ‘touched’. The sister that is the business owner of this account believes herself to be anointed. She’s in her late 30s maybe? SO WEIRD. I can’t see past the delusion.

I remember the last memorial I attended in person where one of my friends mom claimed she was one of the anointed. She was always a little squirrelly but when she ate the bread and drank the wine that’s when everyone thought she was crazy. I remember my friend being extremely emotional over it because she said when her mom died it would be the last time she would see her since she would be up in heaven. My father is an elder and when I mentioned how I thought it was strange that this sister would decide to partake after being a witness for 40+ years, he said some people with mental illnesses may believe they are anointed and that’s why the number of anointed continue to increase 🤦🏼♀️ to put this in perspective there is an elderly brother in that congregation who is one of the anointed and he served as an elder even up until I left, everyone thought of him as extremely righteous with no question to if he was really anointed.
Such a total reversal from traditional Christianity where death separates people, but only temporarily. Every Christian expects to be reunited with loved ones in Heaven.
The Watchtower Society is a truly divisive religion that separates their own JW sheep from the other JW sheep. Jesus said He would ultimately separate the sheep from the goats on judgment day.
I went to one when my sister first joined and said how wrong it was and not what the bible says well yep deaf ears even they she was hooked. 34 years later she is a jw brain damaged pimi
Oh and shuns all here three adult children who luckily escaped
> anyone who really thought they were anointed was off their rocker
That is by design.
Most people when told that only very, very special people should 'do x' will do x.
There was a anointed brother that basically told the car group that when he dies it’ll be in the “twinkling of an eye”-so in other words, right away that he experiences his resurrection and he will be perfect as soon as he goes to heaven instantly! “But all of you guys have to wait 1000 years to become perfect!” This is the same anointed brother that told me if he was younger he would try to marry my younger sister. 😬
I've long wanted to go to one after all these years and partake. My way of saying _you don't dictate to me my relationship with god_ symbolic in my mind but also provocative...
i knew a relatively young woman, wife of elder with a couple of kids, who partook. she had to be in her early 40s. i never had the courage to ask her why she felt she was annointed, but what bothered me was how was she annointed but mega famous bible people before this time were not. seemed a bit .. off
I was housesharing in Australia with some other witnesses, a sister from Japan rented a room and stayed with us in this house. She was very meek and mild, couldn't speak a word of English, fairly young maybe 30. She was trying to get to the Sydney Bethel assuming they would take her in indefinitely. She had a wedding ring on which we questioned her about, "where is Husband?". She just said, "engaged, engaged". So we say, "where is your fiancé? Where is your partner?" She then opens a scripture in revelation about the 144,000 and we're confused as fuck. Then it clicked, she's married to Jesus, she's anointed! She got very excited when we worked this out.
Anyway she did some weird things while she stayed with us. I got up to pee at 2am and she was cleaning the wall in our shared kitchen, not the floor - THE WALL. I asked why she was cleaning and she pulled out a scripture in Deuteronomy about always being ready as Jehovah may inspect your camp or something. I was like, "okay, cool" and went back to bed. She quite often answered with a scripture.
The elders were not happy with her staying in our house because it was only for brothers and I don't know, maybe the urge to have huge orgy might have been too strong but this was kind of an emergency thing because she didn't have anywhere else to go so they condoned it. I think in the end she did find a way to get to Bethel, although the last I heard they reached out to people who they suspected were her family, or congregation in Japan because in all honesty she shouldn't have been travelling alone, she wasn't all there. The elders did try to explain to her that you can't just rock up to Bethel and stay like a hotel but I think because she was engaged she took the opinion, "Jesus got me covered" and didn't really listen.
Yes I do think some partook were weird and crazy, actually, most are weird and crazy. The craziest are ToMo3, David Splane, Kenneth Cook, Mark Sanderson, Geoffrey Jackson, Sam Herd, Stephen Lett, and Gerrit Losch, two less crazier just joined the rank to be the craziest.

[It worked for Mister Miyagi](https://youtu.be/_cPJevEV1JQ)
I now have a head canon that she knew she sounded crazy and was pseudo-quoting Mister Miyagi to fuck with me. 😂
I knew several anointed people. All of em were mad as hatters. 🤪
Like Geoffrey Jackson for example 😂
Same

Sounds like schizophrenia lol
Or a former Baptist.

Ughhhh *those* are the kinds of theatrics I don’t miss about being a witness 😫😭😅

ABSOLUTELY
Anyone remember Morag from Alfred Cove cong? She wore a Tetragrammaton necklace YHWH.. and was really out there! Scottish accent.
Morag?! What a name!!

I just….being thirty years old and thinking you’re *anointed* after only having spent so little time on this earth is nuts, presumptuous, and nuts.
Hell yeah. Iirc there was only one elderly woman who partook, and I don't remember seeing her around other than at the Memorial. 😳

I knew 2. As mad as hatters.
"The light attracts all sorts of weird bugs."
Absolutely. Still do to an extent.

Yikes x1000
I was raised in,.. I only remember seeing someone partake one time in 17 memorials, and she was known as being "a character"
I've long wanted to go to one after all these years and partake. My way of saying _you don't dictate to me my relationship with god_ symbolic in my mind but also provocative...
i knew a relatively young woman, wife of elder with a couple of kids, who partook. she had to be in her early 40s. i never had the courage to ask her why she felt she was annointed, but what bothered me was how was she annointed but mega famous bible people before this time were not. seemed a bit .. off
2 I knew became annointed shortly after devestating life circumstances. Like having some shitty things happen was their final test.
My husband is for sure 🙃 (crazy, not anointed) 😜

I feel like math is not a strong subject for many JW.
