I cannot disparage the anointing within you. But I can give you reason to consider whether what was thought to be the anointing at some previous time actually was. What you do with it is up to you.

My only warning is that just because we have some sense within an environment that is full of faux senses provided to us for the purpose of trapping us in a system of error does not mean that it is either of the Lord (anointing) or is not. Just don't fall prey to the idea that you couldn't have been fooled even if others are. Don't presume that you had to be there for some God-ordained reason and therefore have the need to justify things. I do not believe that the Bible teaches that God ordains such things. Just because we were there does not mean He ordained it.

I would gladly declare the truth that I was once a member of a group whose leadership used mind tricks to lull me into a false sense of spiritual superiority and am still recovering to some degree even after 32 years. I can point to a very few positive things that I learned while there. And to many more that I learned since by willfully seeking clarity even where it contradicted things that I had otherwise come to believe to be true.

And I can see the possibility of having a sense of the oneness of the whole body while reading SG&PotCL under the assumption that the hidden negatives were not yet visible to direct you to have a restricted oneness. But that unrestricted oneness is not what the book set out to define — rather to lay the groundwork for finding fault with other Christians.

So if you did not see those errors, then praise God for that!
