The BODY OF CHRIST is the TRUE ANOINTED. The earthly class are NOT part of the Body of Christ.

[Patiently waiting for Truth]

Quote CC Understand what Christian unity should mean, and the body of Christ is. 

The BODY OF CHRIST is the TRUE ANOINTED.  The earthly class are NOT part of the Body of Christ. 

You talk of Christian unity BUT your GB say that if the Anointed want to gather together for spiritual discussion and for prayer to God through Christ, then your GB say that those Anointed would be 'working against the Holy spirit'. 

Your GB want to keep the True Anointed apart from each other.

The GB want to divide the BODY of CHRIST not unite it.

Although most JWs cannot “see” what you say, I am appalled at the shameless approach the WT takes toward the role of the anointed these days.   The decay of who the anointed are and their role as God’s priesthood, has been gradual; while at the same time, the exultation – the rise and power of the elder body – has become predominate.  (Dan 8:9-12; 11:16; Rev 16:13,14)

The assumption that the Holy Spirit works for this change, is blasphemy. 

Secular meaning of “blasphemy” - the action or offence of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things; profane talk.

Blasphemy is the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable. Some religions consider blasphemy to be a religious crime. (wikipedia)

God’s holy people are His anointed ones. (Isa 43:10; 1 Pet 2:9,10; Rev 5:9,10) They are His spiritual dwelling.  His living Temple. (1 Cor 3:16,17; 2 Cor 6:16; 1 Cor 6:19-20)   Would He allow others to attack His dwelling with sacrilegious insults, for very long?  The anointed heart is where Holy Spirit resides - the Spirit that is truth and should motivate the heart to teach it. (John 16:13; 1 John 2:27)

Thus, this statement uttered by the WT, is blasphemy:

“Modestly, anointed ones acknowledge that they do not necessarily have more holy spirit than those with an earthly hope. They do not claim to have special knowledge or revelations; neither do they try to prove that they are in some way superior. w16 January p. 23-24”

So, what is an anointing for? And why would a powerful group of people suppress the role of the anointed – who are in the minority?    It is the “pouring out” of Holy Spirit onto the individual. It begins from outside of the physical body and eventually reaches every internal part of the person. (1 John 2:27; Rom 5:5)  Can that be dismissed as ‘not necessarily having more holy spirit than another person’?  If God’s anointed were allowed to speak about this supernatural event; if they were not fearful of the dual power hovering over them and the slander made against them if they do speak up, JWs would realize the difference between the “common and the holy”. (Ezek 44:23; Rev 11:1,2)   That individual, a “living stone” of God’s Temple, should protect the Temple, but in a religious setting where another group of people has gained power over them, what happens to God’s Temple, and what are the consequences? (1 Cor 3:17)

Who would create a religious setting where the anointed have gathered, yet are also slandered with falsehoods about themselves?  (Rev 13:1,7; Rev 20:7-9)

“Don’t let anyone deceive you about this in any way. That day cannot come unless a revolt takes place first, and the man of sin, the man of destruction, is revealed. ⁴ He opposes every so-called god or anything that is worshiped and places himself above them, sitting in God’s temple and claiming to be God.

The anointed are God’s sons - they are “gods”. (John 10:34-36)  They are to “house” the word of God, Truth from Christ, in their heart.  (John 17:8)   It is their role to defend God, to defend His dwelling.  It is their role to defend Jesus Christ, the Head of God’s Temple. It is their role to remain “in Christ” and teach his truth. (Mal 2:7; John 15:4)  They don’t need to defend a false priesthood that has warned ahead of time, that its role cannot be challenged.  But sadly, in the WT, they have allowed the dismantling of their spiritual holy garments as God’s priests and handed them over, to lawlessness that rules over them, in the absence of truth. 

If the elder body was sanctioned by God, why the need to tell God’s Temple members, not to challenge the ‘representation’, of themselves? 

I wish JWs would see that the organization they ‘love’, is out to destroy God’s holy people. 

The “man of destruction” would say this:

“…neither do they try to prove that they are in some way superior”.    

The “man of destruction” would say this:

“In addition, anointed Christians do not view themselves as being part of an elite club. They do not seek out others who claim to have the same calling, hoping to bond with them or endeavoring to form private groups for Bible study.”

The “man of destruction”, would say this, about the Temple “stones” ‘bonding’ together:

“Such efforts would cause divisions within the congregation and work against the holy spirit, which promotes peace and unity.”

"you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house ("into a temple of the Spirit")  to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."  1 Pet 2:5

“Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”  Matt 24:2 

“Peace and unity”, is needed run an earthly organization well, without interruptions in its agenda, of a feeding program directed by a wicked slave.  (Matt 24:48-51) 

“Your prophets saw visions for you that were empty and deceptive; they did not reveal your iniquity and so restore your fortunes. They saw pronouncements for you that were empty and misleading.” Lam 2:14

“Dress in sackcloth and lament, you priests; wail, you ministers of the altar. Come and spend the night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God, because grain and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God.”  Joel 1:13

“house” – “household”, home”, temple. 

“Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, ²⁰ built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. ²¹ In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.”  Eph 2:19-21

“joined together”?  Not when the anointed cannot “bond” in the WT.

The “man of destruction” uses the weapon of deceit to destroy God’s Temple, household, today.  When power is obtained over an individual, or a group of people, it has the ability to erode the people. 

Rev 13:6:  “It began to speak blasphemies against God: to blaspheme His name and His dwelling—those who dwell in heaven.”  (see Heb 12:22)

The biblical Greek meaning of “blasphemy”:

“slander, detraction, speech injurious to another's good name”

“impious and reproachful speech, injurious to divine majesty”

“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, ¹⁰ and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.”  2 Thess 2:9,10,8

 

I wish JWs, including the elders, would “see” what’s coming.
