Jehovah's Witnesses And Their Many False Prophecies by OLAADEGBU(m): 9:22pm On Jun 13, 2019 |
Jehovah's Witnesses And Their Many False Prophecies The Witnesses make many claims in their attempt to convert you to their faith. They profess to have the only true Christian church, to be the only true representatives of God, to have the only correct biblical teaching, and to be the only true announcers of Jehovah's coming kingdom. If they are the only true church and are the only true voice of God's word, then what they say should prove to be true and especially in prophecy. When it comes to predicting the future, the Watchtower organization fails miserably. Following are some of the false predictions made over the years by the Watchtower organization. If you present these to a JW, he will probably say something like, "Those are taken out of context," or "They didn't claim to be the prophet of God," or "The light is getting brighter, and we are understanding Bible prophecy better now," etc. Make a copy of these false prophecies, found in the appendix, and give it to them to check. They are right out of the Witnesses' literature. Remember Deut. 18:22, "If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him." If someone makes a false prophecy and they have claimed to be a prophet of God, then they are false prophets and are not to be listened to. Do the Witnesses claim to be the prophet of God? Yes, they do. In 1972 the Jehovah's Witness Watchtower claimed to be the prophet of God. https://carm.org/jehovahs-witnesses-and-their-many-false-prophecies |

OLAADEGBU: "IDENTIFYING THE "PROPHET"--"So does Jehovah have a prophet to help them, to warn them of dangers and to declare things to come? These questions can be answered in the affirmative. Who is this prophet? . . . This "prophet" was not one man, but was a body of men and women. It was the small group of footstep followers of Jesus Christ, known at that time as International Bible Students. Today they are known as Jehovah's Christian Witnesses . . . Of course, it is easy to say that this group acts as a 'prophet' of God. It is another thing to prove it," (Watchtower, Apr. 1, 1972, p. 197). (See Deut. 18:21.) 1 Like 1 Share |

Interesting how the matter of false prophecy is limited to JW alone... I guess other churches are completely innocent of it... Even the church of the OP.... Isn't it lovely how someone with a log of wood in his eyes wants to remove the speck of dust in another person's eye? Anyways... Feel free to quote me if I'm wrong on what I just said... JW is obviously guilty of false prophecies especially concerning the 2nd coming of Jesus... But please tell me if other churches are completely innocent on the matter of false prophecies... 2 Likes |

OkCornel:The TRUTH is that Jehovah's Witnesses aren't guilty of false prophecies at all! Because what Jehovah asked them to teach their members is exactly what they are teaching. But it is the unbelievers that's taking the words of JWs as FAILED prophecies. Jesus said 'an evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign,and no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah the prophet' Matthew 12:39 Let's consider Jonah's case here. He was sent to declared a prophecy of doom against a nation, he ran away and God miraculously brought him back, nobody saw any miracles performed by Jonah, Jonah preached and STARTED EXPECTING HIS PROPHECY TO BE FULFILLED, many of Ninevites repented and God changed his mind over their destruction, Jonah got annoyed because God didn't fulfill what he said regarding Nineveh, God told him why he changed his mind, God later brought the destruction upon Nineveh but by then Jonah and most of his contemporaries were no more! Jehovah's Witnesses heard God's voice through the reading, studying and prayerfully meditating on Bible prophecies, they noticed that God's time to destroy evil people is at hand, they started proclaiming it globally, millions repented and became Jehovah's Witnesses, God changed his mind on the time so that many more could repent as the millions who joined the few are now preaching and teaching zealously, unbelievers were setting their minds on the words of the first set of JWs who proclaimed the prophecies, they're even expecting them to perform miracles{signs} before they can consider them, millions who realised their own spiritual conditions PERSONALLY are fast studying and dedicating their lives to JEHOVAH, Jehovah is still going to destroy wicked people but that time is what he declared to no one! Please i may be wrong,so help me sought out where i missed the similarities in the circumstances surrounding ancient Jonah and today's Jehovah's Witnesses? But think deeply about what Jesus had in mind before likening the situation to what happened in the time of No other prophet but Jonah and Noah! I will still present the similarities between what is happening to Jehovah's Witnesses today and the time of ancient Noah! 1 Like |

MightySparrow: Jesus' words will be of help here my friend, he specifically point out that BY THE FRUIT of each religious group you will be able to distinguish between right and wrong! Matthew 7:15-20 Malachi prophesied that those worshiping the true God will be going out to discuss with their neighbours on what God requires of us! Malachi 3:16 He concluded saying you'll be able to IDENTIFY true worshipers of God! Malachi 3:18 Jesus established it 500 years later (Matthew 10:11-15) and JWs are the only group doing so today. Moreover we're the only religious group spoken of mostly on social media, NOT because we caused any harm in the society but all because we are different! Matthew 5:14-16 Even though we're hated of all people (Matthew 10:22, John 17:14-16) yet most of them do say 'they're nicest religious sect sha' 1Peter 2:12 So according to Jesus, IT IS FINISHED! John 19:30 Do have a wonderful day! |

Maximus69: Something that is visible to the blind is what you're here trying to defend. Because what Jehovah asked them to teach their members is exactly what they are teaching. But it is the unbelievers that's taking the words of JWs as FAILED prophecies. Now you're blaming unbelievers whereas Russell your founder blamed his own followers which misunderstood him. If this is true there's no need for Deu 18:22 But the truth is many people are saying what God did not say. Jesus said 'an evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign,and no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah the prophet' Matthew 12:39 Another evidence of scriptural misinterpretation. Firstly, not many of Nineveh repented but ALL OF THEM. Secondly, Jonah wasn't angry because God didn't destroy the city rather Jonah like Abraham personally INTERCEED with great agony for the city to be spared by God. This says a lot about how you people twist the scripture just to satisfy your selfish thought. Jehovah's Witnesses heard God's voice through the reading, studying and prayerfully meditating on Bible prophecies, they noticed that God's time to destroy evil people is at hand, they started proclaiming it globally, millions repented and became Jehovah's Witnesses, God changed his mind on the time so that many more could repent as the millions who joined the few are now preaching and teaching zealously, unbelievers were setting their minds on the words of the first set of JWs who proclaimed the prophecies, they're even expecting them to perform miracles{signs} before they can consider them, millions who realised their own spiritual conditions PERSONALLY are fast studying and dedicating their lives to JEHOVAH, Jehovah is still going to destroy wicked people but that time is what he declared to no one! If not because you're a liar the document available indicated that Watchtower society lost many of her members after those failed prophecies NOT THAT MORE MEMBERS (not to even talk of millions) were added. It's evident that only a follower of Satan that can lie openly without a single shame. Please i may be wrong,so help me sought out where i missed the similarities in the circumstances surrounding ancient Jonah and today's Jehovah's Witnesses? But think deeply about what Jesus had in mind before likening the situation to what happened in the time of No other prophet but Jonah and Noah! You're actually wrong because Jesus references to Jonah was about THREE DAYS and THREE NIGHT Jonah spent at the belly of fish which is all about His resurrection not your concorted lies. That's why you can't go further to add verse 40 "Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." I will still present the similarities between what is happening to Jehovah's Witnesses today and the time of ancient Noah!

Maximus69: Whenever you're caught lying, instead of you to hide your face in shame you'll keep boasting in ignorance. This is what God told Jonah "Jonah 1:2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me." The instruction is to FIRST cry again it, that's why Jonah gave a span of 40days.... Compare this to your organization fake prophecies is what I can't understand. Did your organization say if people repent God will reverse His judgment? If Yes! Give us the quote where such statement was made. You're entitled to your own opinion Sir, so suit yourself because honesthearted and sincere individuals will surely SEE reasons with the TRUTH! Now I'm entitled to my own opinion but when you're making useless assertion you didn't consider that. Give us the data that shows how the numbers of JWs were increased in millions after the fake prophecies. If not because you're a pathological liar you won't have said this in a public forum and still have mouth to talk. You accuse unbelievers of seeing it as fake prophecies yet your own founder put the blame on members... You claimed millions turned to God that's why God reversed His judgement....whereas your organization lost members instead. Can't you see how God is exposing your satanic emotions instead of you seeking God genuinely in your closet? Of course since you lack honesty and sincerity your darkened heart will never prick to see your lies and false accusation. 2 Likes |

Emusan:Please show which verse say 'Jonah's cry was to make them repent or change' because if it was in anticipation for change, Jonah won't be disappointed and ANGRY at all{Jonah 4:1} since he already knew that if they repent God will delay the destruction of Nineveh! Moreover the destruction of Nineveh wasn't totally abolished because after Jonah and his contemporaries have died, God later brought all that Jonah said upon Nineveh! So you can continue to hit your head on the wall, Jehovah's Witnesses did exactly the same as Jonah did. And when they were prophesying the whole world knew that the total number of JWs globally wasn't even up to 1m but today baptised JWs are numbering about 8.5m while 3times the number are intensively studying with JWs globally,with the propect of joining the peaceful and happy global family of like minded believers! 1Corinthians 1:10 Sorry don't let this pain you beyond this, take heart! Many who thought JWs prophesies failed now realised that it never failed as unbelievers like you are crying. 2Peter 3:3-10 It was because JEHOVAH is delaying it as millions are trooping into his global organization of faithful worshipers! When Jesus told John in the Bible book of Revelation saying 'Certainly i'm coming quickly' and John responded saying 'AMEN! please come Lord Jesus'. Revelations 22:20 Please would you expect John to tell people that Jesus will soon come or he won't come even till over 1900 years later? Well think about how John felt when Jesus said that and the enthusiasm John felt, then compared it to how my born again brothers felt when Jesus in the Spirit energized them to startup what John heard almost 2,000 years ago! So don't kill yourself over our matter Sir, if you're not certain that Jesus belongs to your own organization, we are 100% sure that Jesus is with ONLY our own GB and that is why they're capable of directing the affairs of his over 8,000,000 subjects globally! 1 Like |

Maximus69: Of course only a deluded person like you will read another meaning into it and think Jonah won't have preached repentance to them. Even from your first post, you said "Jonah PREACHED" So you can continue to hit your head on the wall, Jehovah's Witnesses did exactly the same as Jonah did. Why you continue soaking your head inside the ass of your GB And when they were prophesying the whole world knew that the total number of JWs globally wasn't even up to 1m but today baptised JWs are numbering about 8.5m while 3times the number are intensively studying with JWs globally,with the propect of joining the peaceful and happy global family of like minded believers! 1Corinthians 1:10 Just look at the @underlined and see how Satan himself will be happy that his son is doing a perfect work because he's the father of all liars. Your previous statement was: "Jehovah's Witnesses heard God's voice through the reading, studying and prayerfully meditating on Bible prophecies, they noticed that God's time to destroy evil people is at hand, they started proclaiming it globally, millions repented and became Jehovah's Witnesses, God changed his mind on the time so that many more could repent as the millions who joined the few are now preaching and teaching zealously," You claimed "millions repented and became Jehovah witnesses, God changed His mind..." but here you agree they were not up to 1m and data shows that they lost more members that time, so where did your first claim of MILLIONS REPENTED came from? Can't you see that you're lying? Sorry don't let this pain you beyond this, take heart! Says someone whose heart has been darkened and couldn't repent from lying which the Bible he carries around seriously hates. Many who thought JWs prophesies failed now realised that it never failed as unbelievers like you are crying. 2Peter 3:3-10 It was because JEHOVAH is delaying it as millions are trooping into his global organization of faithful worshipers! Another false accusation "many thought" when your own organization agreed that they erred "The Lord did not say that the Church would all be glorified by 1914. We merely inferred it and, evidently, erred.” Watch Tower 1916 Apr 15 reprints p.5888 Just so unfortunate how a liar like you can be so proudly lost in his ignorance and be happy with it. When Jesus told John in the Bible book of Revelation saying 'Certainly i'm coming quickly' and John responded saying 'AMEN! please come Lord Jesus'. Revelations 22:20 Another gebbrish...all these won't save your lying as.s So don't kill yourself over our matter Sir, if you're not certain that Jesus belongs to your own organization, we are 100% sure that Jesus is with ONLY our own GB and that is why they're capable of directing the affairs of his over 8,000,000 subjects globally!
