Are you truly "anointed"?

ARE YOU TRULY "ANOINTED"?
The Watchtower Society has claimed for many years now that there exists some 8,000 plus anointed among themselves. However, the YORWW Congregation says actually, that this is quite impossible. And of course, you may ask...why?
Well, the following verse shows exactly why, today, it would be an impossibility for any of the "anointed" to exist among Jehovah's witnesses, some 6 million strong in over 95,000 congregations worldwide. One simple bible text...let's examine it.
Isaiah 59:21 says:
"And as for me, this is my covenant with them," Jehovah has said. "My spirit that is upon you and MY WORDS THAT I HAVE PUT IN YOUR MOUTH - they will not be removed from your mouth or from the mouth of your offspring or from the mouth of the offspring of your offspring," Jehovah has said, "from now on even to time indefinite."
Did you notice above the promise is made by Almighty God Himself, that when one is "anointed" that ALSO, yes also, that one will have Jehovah "put HIS WORDS IN HIS MOUTH"? Did you notice this?
Yes, that is God's Promise.
Therefore, why are over 8,000 Jehovah's witnesses claiming to be anointed by God's Holy Spirit, and yet continually saying that THEY ARE NOT INSPIRED???
Why....
Clearly, the above verse says that when one is anointed by God's Holy Spirit, that they also have the added blessing of having Jehovah, yes...PUT HIS WORDS INTO THEIR MOUTHS...isn't that what the verse plainly says?
Now, we know many among God's Name People are quick to remind you that yes, they are truly anointed, yes, anointed with God's Holy Spirit upon them. Ohhhh, yes they are...as they claim. Isn't that true? However, these same "anointed" people also when queried on the subject also readily admit, that No...no...they are NOT inspired, and no, they do NOT have the added blessing of having Jehovah's Awesome Word put "into their mouths," which of course means, no...no they are NOT inspired. Isn't that also true?
Therefore, if we truly examined this matter scripturally, wouldn't this mean the foretold promise of Joel 2:28, 29 shows that at a FUTURE DATE, when God's Name People have been restored to God's full favor, yes at that time, then and only then...will Israel be fully anointed as a nation, as a group of people, AFTER they have been fully disciplined by Jehovah Himself in righteousness. In other words, then it will become a GROUP ANOINTING, itself. Isn't the case? -- Jeremiah 23:19, 20: Isaiah 30:26; Micah 4:6, 7
Indeed, it will be this time that the foretold grand prophecy of Isaiah 59:21 will be fulfilled..."till time indefinite" upon God's Name People, Jehovah's witnesses...yes, when the entire nation will be "anointed" and additionally given God's Word to be placed "in their mouth" as an inspired nation of His People. Yes, this will be a future happening...when God's Name People, can as a nation, truly say that they are both...both...ANOINTED and INSPIRED, yes as a people, in fulfillment of Isaiah 59:21. Yes, at that time this will be true for all of God's Name People, who prove themselves to be obedient to doing God's Will in repentance as a nation before Him.
But, until that time...if anyone today is willing to say that he or she is truly "anointed" by Jehovah God...then yes, they must also be willing to say too, that yes, they are also INSPIRED too! Oh yes, they must be able to say this! Because, according to Isaiah 59:21, you CANNOT separate these two occurences. No, you cannot. That's correct, if one says that he is ANOINTED, then based upon Isaiah 59:21, yes, he must also be willing to say that Jehovah God has "PUT HIS WORDS IN HIS MOUTH." Isn't that so?
What do you say?
