FaithfulJW,
"You say that you can see the holy spirit in someone and know they are anointed. Is this?
Something only you have, cause if that's not the case and it's something that every anointed has,"
No I don't "see" it. I "feel" it. I don't know how many of the Governing Body, or other anointed, can feel it, or know it exists in individuals.
"Then why weren't the other members of the Governing Body aware immediately the moment Ray Franz was guilty of "apostasy"? Or for that matter, then why didn't the other apostles know that"
It doesn't work that way.
"Judas was the one who was going to betray Jesus prior to the Last Supper? If those of the Anointed can see God's Holy Spirit in someone, then why wouldn't they see it when it isn't in them. Surely God wouldn't give his Holy Spirit to someone guilty of "apostasy"."
Now there you betray your lack of understanding of how Jehovah works with his holy spirit. There is something called "Free Will" which Jehovah does not interfere with. The offer of life is offered to all, free. Jehovah does not MAKE anyone do anything because he only wants WILLING workers. The holy spirit is very apparent to me by that persons actions as well as "what proceeds forth from a persons mouth (or keyboard) and the special gift that Jehovah has given me to "feel" the holy spirit. After I received the Gift I have been somehow able to detect when the holy spirit is active.
