    Especially big stuff like the end of mankind in 1914, and christians then being raptured. 1925 men of old to return to earth. Did we ever say it was a prophecy? Could such predicictions or statements like that be called a false prophecy.

    thanks.....very very bad weekend....oompa

    *** w72 4/1 p. 197 ‘They Shall Know that a Prophet Was Among Them’ ***

    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? . Today they are known as Jehovah’s Christian witnesses. They are still proclaiming a warning, and have been joined and assisted in their commissioned work by hundreds of thousands of persons who have listened to their message with belief.

    Watchtower February 1881 p.188

    If we were following a man undoubtedly it would be different

    with us; undoubtedly one human idea would contradict another

    and that which was light one or two or six years ago would be

    regarded as darkness now: But with God there is no

    variableness, neither shadow of turning, and so it is with truth;

    any knowledge or light coming from God must be like its

    author. A new view of truth never can contradict a former truth.

    "New light" never extinguishes older "light," but adds to it. If

    you were lighting up a building containing seven gas jets you

    would not extinguish one every time you lighted another, but

    would add one light to another and they would be in harmony

    and thus give increase of light: So is it with the light of truth; the

    true increase is by adding to, not by substituting one for another.

    Hello! I got that covered but no cd here or books to prove it! I got rid of books! This really shocked me! The Jehovah's Witnesses think when the go door to door they are fullfilling the scripture about the man with the inkhorn, you know the one who goes out and marks people to rightoueness. Today they believe that when the go door to door they are marking people to righteous if people take the WT/AK anyhow, but if they do not take them? Off to judgement with Jesus Christ! In the Revelation It Grand Climax Is At Hand it say they are prophets! Ekkks. I knew nothing about this until after I got reinstated! Now when I see a JDUB going out in service the above is what I think about. Oh and the man with the secratary's inkhorn went back to heaven his work was done! that was it! Another thing the only one can mark you as right is Jehovah because someone called Jesus righteous and he said no one was righteous but the Father!
