    Ok.. so..as I posted on a recent thread scans of many places the Society claims to be a "prophet", see here:http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/122290/2160659/post.ashx#2160659

    Notice this claim.. and note too that it was only 7 years before 1975:http://www.jwfiles.com/scans/AW10-8-68p23.htm

    And now look at what they wrote AFTER the big 1975 let down:

    Watchtower May 15, 1976: http://www.blueletterbible.org/study/cults/exposejw/expose34.pdf

    TRUE

    PREACHING BUILDS UP

    What about the situation today as to the preaching of the good news of Christ’s kingdom and its coming rule over earth? Jehovah’s Witnesses as modern-day Christians are working hard to get this good news preached to every individual. They do not claim infallibility or perfection. Neither are they inspired prophets. But they are trying to live clean lives and to help people by teaching them the good news. Millions are responding.

    So.. they claim to be a "prophet". We need to listen to the as if God himself were speaking...YET when their prophecys fail, like 1975, they claim they are NOT inspired!! Just what is the opposite of inspired?? Hmmm the definition of inspired says this:

    Hi LL,

    I can't remember the year/issue, but there was a lovely WTS article with a huge headline, "They shall know that a PROPHET is among them!" Humbly submitting that, by the definition they gave in the article, they were the very prophet!

    JWs are not prophets:

    “Jehovah's Witnesses do not claim to be inspired prophets.” - Reasoning From the Scriptures (1985, 1989)
     
    JWs are prophets:
    “You will be interested to learn that God has on earth a people, all of whom are prophets ... Jehovah's Witnesses.”-Awake 6/8/1986

    They want it both ways. They want you to follow instruction as if it were from God himself, yet then they want to bow out of any responsibility when they have to change something or have yet another failed prophecy on their hands, like 1975!!

    Yet they CANNOT have it both ways! They either are directed by Jehovah or they are not. With the moutain of evidence against them it becomes quite clear real quick which it is!

    Yes, LL!

    And how funny that the article's first proof of being THE prophet of God was because they were WARNING everyone about the League of Nations (UN)! Irony, irony, irony.
