There is so many one will never know but they at least can take pride in what they have achieved in there false prophecies.
鈥?872 Beginning of the millennium. Wrong! Watchtower publications later changed the date to 1975, another date in which it did not happen.
鈥?874 Christ's second coming. Nothing happened. The Bible says His second coming will be seen by all.
鈥?914 All world governments to be overthrown. God will glorify His people and govern the world.
鈥?915 When man's governments were not replaced by God's in 1914, the date was changed to 1915. The Watchtower Society later admitted these prophecies ';had not been fulfilled.';
鈥?918 End of Gentile times, the churches to be destroyed.
鈥?920 The mountains, republics, and kingdoms were to disappear.
鈥?925 The kingdom was to be established in Palestine. Faithful men of the Old Testament were to return. It was later admitted that this and the 1918 prediction were wrong.
鈥?929 A house was built for the return of the Old Testament faithful. It was sold in 1948 because they did not return.
鈥?932 The Watchtower stated that the date for the overthrow of Christendom had been moved up from 1925 (previously 1918) to 1932 and that the overthrow did not happen in 1932 either.
鈥?975 Since the Millennium had not begun in 1872, the date was changed to 1975. Again nothing happened.How many people know about Jehovah's Witnesses or Watchtowers false prophecies and how many do not know ?
What prophecies work out?
I don't know any except the sun should come up. Gravity may keep working. Stuff like that.
The Jehovah's Witnesses are sad folks, living in a dream world, and trying to drag everyone else along with them. They need to mind their business.How many people know about Jehovah's Witnesses or Watchtowers false prophecies and how many do not know ?
I know. That's why I'll never go back to the self-righteous false prophet known as The Watchtower Society (aka ';governing body'; and ';faithful and discreet slave';)
I know plenty about them.
heathenly eyes...aka HE HAW you are actually typing normally for a change, its about time. Now when will you quit cross dressing?
*raises hand* I know about JW. I've read a great deal of their history. I know their false prophesies. I know their psychological abuses on the members (sorry, but twisting a person's spiritual beliefs to suit your own pocketbook and/or pleasure is evil in my books).
I also loathe the fact that they actually outlaw thinking and reasoning. JW aren't allowed to interpret for themselves, or even ask too many questions. That's ';apostate thinking.'; And I love how they say if anyone reads the Bible without their watchtower helping interpret it, then they'll be ';reverted'; into the same ';apostate thinking'; that other Christians believe.
Go figure!
I'm not Christian, but I find a great deal about JW to be... distasteful.
TO ALL RELIGIONS
Where do we stand in prophecy?
How old would Adam be?
How much time does Satan have from Eden [ Is it 6130 years and are we at 6074 in 2008 after Christ ] and then Rev.20:1-6,12,13; no Satan 1000 years.
What is the meaning of the 7130 years that the bible gives?
How many religions give any thing at all, nothing at all is as bad as making a mistake in the bible time line. But a mistake in the bible time line is better than not even having a bible time line. At least some people know it is there.
I am not a statistician, so the exact number or percentage of Jehovah's witnesses that know about a FEW Prohetcies that were not clearly understood ';at the moment'; ESCAPES ME !
Also, because I am not a statistician, I do not know the exact number or percentage of people that ';think'; that Jehovah's Witnesses are guilty of false prophecies.
But, because I Am one of Jehovah Christian Witnesses; And (HAVE) God's VERY, VERY Powerful HOLY SPIRIT I do know that we have the one and only TRUE Religion !
So, criticism of Jehovah's Christian witnesses on the Yahoo forum; OR ';Any-OTHER'; Forum is irrelevant.
Jehovah God himself picks and chooses those individuals who are meek and humble enough to follow his son Jesus Christ no matter where he goes. That's what being sheeplike is all about.
If you really want to know what Jehovah's Witnesses believe, then I would strongly suggest or even encourage you to call up a local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses and request a free home Bible study. Frankly, what do you or anybody else have to lose but possibly just a little bit of your time.
I would really, really encourage this course of action if you are one of the few individuals that the Bible book of Ezekiel speaks of ';sighing and crying'; over all the detestable things that are taking place in the world today.
The world that we all live in today is on the brink of total collapse, almost like a spinning top that is getting ready to topple over and heave and vibrate wildly and madly. Do you fall into that category? I hope so! Because if you do you are one of the very few individuals that have found the road to life.
The Bible book of Matthew Chapter 7 speaks about how few are the ones finding the road to life (where- as) wide and spacious is the road leading off to destruction and many are the ones going down it.
So simply, which road are you on right now and which road do you wish you were on.
The road that you choose, and the way that you go, are entirely up to you.
As always, best wishes !
Among other things, the WTS predicted the following: 1889 ';The 鈥榖attle of the great day of God almighty鈥?(Rev 16:14) which will end in AD 1914 . . . '; (Studies, Vol. 2, 1908 edition, 101).
1891 ';With the end of AD 1914, what God calls Babylon, and what men call Christendom, will have passed away, as already shown from prophecy'; (Studies, Vol. 3, 153).
1894 ';The end of 1914 is not the date for the beginning, but for the end of the time of trouble'; (WT Reprints, 1-1-1894, 1605 and 1677).
1897 ';Our Lord is now present, since October 1874 AD'; (Studies, Vol. 4, 1897 edition, 621).
1916 ';The six great 1000 year days beginning with Adam are ended, and that the great 7th day, the 1000 years of Christ鈥檚 reign began in 1873'; (Studies, Vol. 2, p. 2 of foreword).
1917 ';Scriptures . . . prove that the Lord鈥檚 Second Advent occurred in the fall of 1874'; (Studies, Vol. 7, 68).
1918 ';Therefore, we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the faithful prophets of old'; (Millions Now Living Will Never Die, 89).
1922 ';The date 1925 is even more distinctly indicated by the scriptures than 1914'; (WT, 9-1-1922, 262).
1923 ';1925 is definitely settled by the scriptures. As to Noah, the Christian now has much more upon which to base his faith than Noah had upon which to base his faith in a coming deluge'; (WT, 4-1-1923, 106).
1925 ';The year of 1925 is here. . . . Christians should not be so deeply concerned about what may transpire this year'; (WT, 1-1-1925, 3).
1931 ';There was a measure of disappointment on the part of Jehovah鈥檚 faithful ones on earth concerning the dates 1914, 1918, %26amp; 1925 . . . and they also learned to quit fixing dates'; (Vindication, 388, 389).
1939 ';The disaster of Armageddon is just ahead'; (Salvation, 361).
1941 ';Armageddon is surely near . . . soon . . . within a few years'; (Children, 10).
1946 ';Armageddon . . . should come sometime before 1972'; (They Have Found a Faith, 44).
1966 ';Six thousand years from man鈥檚 creation will end in 1975, and the seventh period of a thousand years of human history will begin in the fall of 1975 C.E'; (Life Everlasting in Freedom of the Sons of God, 29).
1968 ';The end of the six thousand years of man鈥檚 history in the fall of 1975 is not tentative, but is accepted as a certain date'; (WT, 1-1-1968, 271).
Besides false prophesies, the WTS has misled its members through countless changes in doctrine and practice:
';To worship Christ in any form cannot be wrong ... '; (WT, 3-1880, 83). ';It is unscriptural for worshippers of the living and true God to render worship to the Son of God, Jesus Christ'; (WT, 11-1-1964, 671).
The men of Sodom will be resurrected (WT, 7-1879, 7-8). The men of Sodom will not be resurrected (WT, 6-1-1952, 338). The men of Sodom will be resurrected (WT 8-1-1965, 479). The men of Sodom will not be resurrected (WT 6-1-1988, 31). The men of Sodom will be resurrected (Live Forever, early ed., 179). The men of Sodom will not be resurrected (Live Forever, later ed., 179). The men of Sodom will be resurrected (Insight on the Scriptures, Vol. 2, 985). The men of Sodom will not be resurrected (Revelation: Its Grand Climax at Hand! 273).
';There could be nothing against our consciences in going into the army'; (WT, 4-15-1903, 120). Due to conscience, Jehovah鈥檚 Witnesses must refuse military service (WT, 2-1-1951, 73).
';We may as well join in with the civilized world in celebrating the grand event [Christmas] . . . '; (WT Reprints, 12-1-1904, 3468). ';Christmas and its music are not from Jehovah . . . What is their source? . . . Satan the devil'; (WT, 12-15-1983, 7).
';Everyone in America should take pleasure in displaying the American flag'; (WT Reprints, 5-15-1917, 6068). The flag is ';an idolatrous symbol'; (Awake!, 9-8-71, 14).
A much longer list of such contradictions and doctrinal twists by the WTS could be formed, but this suffices to remove any reason one might have to believe that ';It is through the columns of The Watchtower that Jehovah provides direction and constant scriptural counsel to his people . . . '; (WT, 5-1-1964, 277). If that is the case, who is to say what will be taught tomorrow?
im with poster #1...they can forget about coming here and my aunt can forget judging me...she has her nevrve...that church is ruining her relationships....how boring no holidays no fun no thanks... they dont know what will happen except REVElation...
You obviously think you know.
They made several predictions about the return of Jesus, and now they teach that Jesus indeed returned already and it happened invisibly.
And only they knew about it.
How many don't care?
**raises hand**
Actually, the truth needs to be told here...
Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT false prophets at all. We are not even prophets, we merely have been wrong on the understanding of some prophecies given in the Bible, in the past. JW's are human as well.
Whether or not you accept this, Jehovah's Witnesses are the earthly organization in which Jehovah, the only true God is using and he has blessed it.
We are the only religion that proclaims God's Kingdom as the only solution to man's problems.
