    Given the bad publicity the Society's got over the UN Scandal, the pedophile problem, the generation problem, independent thinking amongst the R&F, the internet, and the blood fiasco, I'd say they got this one right:

    ***w 1952 3/15 p. 182 Above AllElse, GuardYour Heart! ***

    There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and if our hearts are weak or unclean, sooner or later that fact will be made manifest. We may pass for integrity-keeping Christian ministers for a time, but when the test comes we shall fall.

    One brother told me that the Pittsburgh Steelers was going to win the Super Bowl last year.

    He was right!

    Apart from things that lots of other people predicted, like technological advances, no

    Certainly, none of the prophecies that are unique to them have come true, and nor do they look like doing so.

    if you get df'd or da yourself, jws won't talk to you and will actually shun you

    yes - that was the first thing that sprung to mind - like looking glass said. I was told if I committed fornication I would be Dfed and I was. Thing is i could have been forgiven for not believing this since there were clearly quite a few who got away with it right under the noses of the elder fathers! i wish they had explained that there is a special dispensation to the children of the shepherds - "Thou shalt look the other way if you are the offspring of the PO for as long as is possible."

    Peace - Can it Last? (1942) is always touted as a prediction by Knorr that came true.

    In reality all that can be said is that he accurately foretold that WW2 would indeed end at some point, and that JWs would use the "peace" as an opportunity to send out missionaries all over the place.
