    Black Sheep - Will the king list approach making the JW find the kings using the WTCD still work, now that they recently published those two 607 articles? I realize those two articles are riddled with scholastic dishonesty, as brought out in the threads analyzing them, but, when keeping to the subject of the king list, I seem to recall those articles calling it into question. Wouldn't the JW just say, "see, the WT is not sure if the king list is correct?"

    Q. Was the prediction about a 1914 Armageddon wrong? (not sure what response to expect here)

    I ain't no prophet, but I'll bet my last dollar that brother will tell you about New light

    that's when you can turn to page 93 in the Reasoning book in which the WTS States :

    " Bible chronology also pinpoints in advance the time when certain important events in the fulfillment of God's purpose would take place."_____Reasoning book page 93

    " Jehovah's witness believe that the entire bible is the inspired word of God "______Reasoning book page 199

    Your question to him should be: Did God pinpoint the wrong time , that the WTS relayed to the sheep ?????

    and why would you need New light on something that was clearly pinpointed ???? does God have the power to

    give clear precise direction ???

    When you read Matthew 34:36, Matthew 24:42, and ACTS 1:7

    show him from the reasoning book

    The chart on page 97 where The WTS predicted the times and seasons

    " Why do Jehovah's witnesses say that it was in 1914 that "the last days " began ???

    ( how ) " world conditions foretold to mark this time period have come to pass since 1914 ( when ) exactly as foretold."_________Reasoning from the Scriptures book page 239

    Biblically it was wrong and that can be proven using the bible alone.

    But you might say it was quite right from a commercial stand point of attracting attention to the WTS's literature.

    The WTS. under C Russell once preached that 1914 was going to be Armageddon prior to that year, when that failed it became

    the date of Christ taking his position upon his earthly and heavenly kingdom.

    The fact is the WTS. has been exploiting the belief in the bible for their own self concerning commercial needs, in that sense they

    should be truly defined as Charlatans or commercialized false prophets/profits
