The Watchtower is known for having 100% miss so far.
My question is:
How you can trust an organization which has 100% miss!?!?!?!
Not only regards prophecies but also in doctrinal matters.
Another question is:
Which doctrine is still taught from Russell' era?
Now ask your self if you are JW. Why I'm still with them?
Peace...

Yes, reminds me of when I was 'out' and my wife wasn't and instead of trying to proove they had got lots of things wrong I turned it around and asked what they had ever got right.
The few times the WT society has been right, it is usually in disproving a negative -- examples: there is no hellfire, there is no Trinity. These things still make perfect sense to me.
However, these are not POSITIVE teachings that are found in the Bible. So the basic theme of this thread seems right: They have not taken anything from the Bible and made a correct actual doctrine or prophecy out of it.
But of course, as has been pointed out on this forum, who really has? The Bible is a confusing and conflicting document, and it's hard to arrive at any agreement on anything that it teaches beyond a few basic things like "belief in Jesus is necessary" and "there is a God", nothing very meaty.
