Welcome all Anointed Jehovah’s Witnesses and those who would like to talk with you!
Anointed Talk is a place for the Anointed of Jehovah’s Witnesses to talk to each other and for others of us to get a chance to talk to you. And why not? We have been told that no one else is listening to you. Is this true? The The Watchtower, 5/15/00, p. 11 says, “anointed Witnesses of Jehovah have been blessed with insight, enabling them to understand…” (See complete quote below). Yet to what avail is this special insight? Does the Governing Body care what the Anointed have to say? Do they ask for the opinion and spiritual insight of the anointed? Sadly, we are getting reports from Anointed JWs, indicating they are being disrespected, ridiculed and made fun of. They tell us that they are even being discouraged from partaking of the memorial. Is it true that the elders and others just don’t believe that those who claim they are anointed really are? That they do not respect insights of those claiming to be anointed? Are the anointed who express a different point of view labeled an Apostate? Is what we are hearing true? Is this the norm or just unusual examples coming our way?
Why doesn’t the Governing Body consult the anointed? Why aren’t they interested in their opinion? Why is the Watchtower writing department adding more writers that are not anointed? Are the Anointed a perceived threat to the power structure that must be diminished? After all, shouldn’t JWs being looking to the anointed for spiritual guidance as opposed to Elders, Circuit Overseers and District Overseers? Is the JW power structure trying to minimize and belittle their influence? Is this really all just about power and who is in control?
We are not trying to incite the Anointed to rise up and rebel and fight the system. The Lord’s anointed are a humble and meek people. Yet we understand that if anyone expresses a difference of opinion, whether anointed or not, they are in danger of being labeled an apostate. So, how then can the anointed be in any position to provide spiritual insights. If it is only to tell everyone else to follow the organization, then couldn’t any JW member do that? So then of what value are the anointed in the JW Organization? It only seems to make sense that elders and leaders in the JW organization would desire, in humility, to look to the anointed for spiritual guidance.
What do you think? What is really going on. Let us know what you think. This is a place to talk. We want to hear from everyone, but especially from the anointed ones, whether presently JWs or whether you have been driven out of the organization. Please enlighten us and tell us the truth of what is happening. Here you can talk to each other and help each other out.
Full quote: “Daniel 12:4 states: “As for you, O Daniel, make secret the words and seal up the book, until the time of the end. Many will rove about, and the true knowledge will become abundant.” Much of what Daniel wrote was made secret and sealed up to human understanding for centuries. But what about today?
6 In this time of the end, many faithful Christians have ‘roved about’ in the pages of God’s Word, the Bible. The result? With Jehovah’s blessing on their efforts, true knowledge has become abundant. For instance, anointed Witnesses of Jehovah have been blessed with insight, enabling them to understand that Jesus Christ became heavenly King in the year 1914. In keeping with the apostle’s words recorded at 2 Peter 1:19-21, such anointed ones and their loyal companions are ‘paying attention to the prophetic word’ and are absolutely certain that this is the time of the end.” – “The Watchtower, 5/15/00, p. 11.
All the issue of blood transfusion as a Jehovah’s witness one of Jehovah’s witnesses I would have kept the law on blood as a Jehovah’s witness one of Jehovah’s witnesses if I’d have been baptized I never was allowed to be baptized so I just quit studying I love Jehovah is it a anointed Jehovah’s witness
Dear Anonymous,
In response to your three posts, thank you for speaking honestly about your experiences and convictions. Your words reflect deep feeling, many years of searching, and a sincere desire to draw close to God and to Christ (Psalm 62:8; Matthew 5:6). Many sincere believers have felt similar pain when human systems appear to stand between them and the simple teachings of Jesus (Matthew 15:9).
The Scriptures show that baptism was intended to be a straightforward expression of faith and repentance, grounded in belief in Jesus Christ—not a pledge of loyalty to an earthly organization or agreement with later developed doctrinal tests (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Acts 8:36 38; Romans 6:3 4). In the New Testament, baptism followed belief, not institutional approval. This simplicity honors the ransom and keeps the focus where it belongs—on Christ alone (1 Timothy 2:5 6).
The Bible also places strong emphasis on Christian liberty of conscience. Each servant of God stands accountable to the Lord, not to fellow believers or religious authorities (Romans 14:4, 10 12). Matters not directly commanded in Scripture—including medical decisions, organizational affiliation, or disputed interpretations—should never be elevated to tests of faith (Colossians 2:20 23; Galatians 5:1). When conscience is bound by men, faith suffers; when conscience is respected, faith is strengthened (2 Corinthians 3:17).
You speak of feeling overlooked and unused, and such pain should not be dismissed. Yet Scripture reminds us that God’s approval does not depend on recognition by religious systems (1 Samuel 16:7; 1 Corinthians 1:26 29). The Father sees devotion that institutions may miss. True Christian worth is measured not by titles or claims, but by humility, love, and faithfulness (Micah 6:8; Matthew 23:11 12).
Regarding claims of special calling or insight, the Scriptures encourage soberness and humility. While God may guide and teach His people, no individual is appointed as a self authenticating authority over others (1 Corinthians 4:6 7; 1 Peter 5:5). Even those with strong convictions are counseled to “prove all things” and hold fast only to what is clearly supported by God’s Word (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
A gentle word of balance may also help concerning expectations about the end times. Throughout Christian history, many sincere believers have believed the end was immediately at hand. Jesus cautioned his followers urging watchfulness paired with patience and faith (Matthew 24:36, 42 44; Acts 1:7). Urgency should produce holiness, love, and endurance—not fear or absolute declarations (Luke 21:19; James 5:7 8).
If you feel drawn to God and to His Kingdom, take comfort in this truth: your relationship with God is not nullified by rejection from religious institutions (Romans 8:38 39). True dedication is lived daily—in faith, love, mercy, and obedience—under the sole headship of Christ (Ephesians 4:15; Colossians 1:18).
