From The Message Bible:
Deuteronomy 18:20 "But any prophet who fakes it, who claims to speak in my name something I haven't commanded him to say, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die."
21 -22 You may be wondering among yourselves, "How can we tell the difference, whether it was God who spoke or not?" Here's how: If what the prophet spoke in God 's name doesn't happen, then obviously God wasn't behind it; the prophet made it up. Forget about him.
Uh Uh.

Yeah,
The Watch Tower society has done much prophesy.

Hey and welcome, Possible-san.
I used to respect Russell until I found out he taught that Black people would turn white in the Millenium.
The nerve of him!
Oh, I like your website.

Yes, but they don't claim to be inspired prophets...
Hi! Sylvia,
Nice to meet you.
I used to respect Russell until I found out he taught that Black people would turn white in the Millenium.
It is interesting information.
I do not understand his real intention well.
Probably, it may be Russell's prejudice.
But it should be considered in the context of their times(historical background).
Russell was a white in the 19th century.
Martin Luther King, Jr. had not been born yet.

There was still racial discrimination those days.
No, probably, a prejudice still exists.

They have the testimonial of anyone that sold out just prior to 1975, only to be let down. All the original 1968 and 1969 littera-trash is testimonial that they did, in fact, hound everyone to sell out going into 1975. And then, when that prediction went bust, they blamed the people for reading too much into it.
False prophecy, if you ask me.
