That was sarcasm, Colton.

In the Proclaimers book the last pages have a chart of historic dates 1975 is not mentioned.....we don't talk about 1975 anymore....it's like that embarrasing drunk uncle we keep in the closet!

What is a prophecy?
when bible says Jesus will return and describes the coming armageddon is this a false bible prophecy?
The witnesses are not makimg this prophecy! their mistake was trying to stick a date on it. As many christians from thessalonica onwards have done and 1000ad was also popular date time for christendom. Will we get penalised for anticipating God's personal prophecy on armageddon? Only God can answer that!

Whether one chooses to call them "prophecies" or not, the JWs have made enough errors to indicate to me that their organization cannot possibly be "spirit directed".

"Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the [Organization] could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary."

That's a fantastic list. You'd have to be either nuts or blind not to see that speaking in God's name erroneously is false prophesying and the Watch Tower Society's claim to fame is being the false prophets of false prophets.
They're even falsely prophesying that they're not false prophets, that's how false they are.

I'd like that list pared down to the actual dates that these events were to have taken place. I'm soft on the early stuff, but all I have is 1874 (Christ's Return),1914 (Armageddon over, Christ's Return),1925 (Resurrection of Daniel, et al end??) and 1975 (Armageddon). The actual number of times statements have been made adnauseum isn't nearly as valuable and obscures the actual dates where events were predicted to have occurred.
Can anyone clarify for me? I could but I hate wading through trivia.
