  They'll write pages and pages of stuff and yet they don't have any idea.

  Here's a paragraph from their latest speculations on future events, bolding is mine.

  A prophecy recorded by Ezekiel gives some insight into what may happen during the last days of the king of the north and the king of the south. If we view the prophecies of Ezekiel 38:10-23; Daniel 2:43-45; 11:44–12:1; and Revelation 16:13-16, 21 as speaking about the same time period and events, it appears that we can expect the following developments.
  

  
  That's an awful lot of assumptions to make. What they've done is picked out various scriptures from different parts of the Bible and now state that they may or may not be talking about the same events. At the same time they state that what they are claiming may only happen.
  
  They fail to explain why theses scriptures are even talking about an event in the future when they have already been fulfilled.

  Evidently they haven't a clue, likely they are speculating again. Seems to me they have counseled again and again about wild speculations. Surely a judicial meeting is in order here.

  As I look back in the 50 plus years in the cult it was always speculation. It was never maybe or appears or could be speculation it was always speculation on their part. It's like us speculating when the wt. will fall this is what the wt. does when speculating the end of the world. Still Totally ADD

  "Free at last, free at last. Thank god almighty we're free at last!"

  This may happen.

  It appears it may happen.

  However, If you don't repeat this speculation as if it were fact you're disfellowshipped.

  The time was when I could tell you all about how the activities of Elijah and Elisha prefigured in prophetic pattern the activities of the anointed J W’s at different periods in their history. We spent weeks on end studying how the work of Jeremiah and assistant Baruch also prefigured the “ministry” of twentieth century....

  What a waste of time that was! .....only to be told by the same book publishers in recent times that it was all B/S. ....if I hadn’t worked that out for myself. 🤔

  The WTBTS does have one major accomplishment........ the art of painting their beliefs into a corner.......... then having to sit there waiting for the paint to dry.

  Sorry WTBTS your foot prints spoil the finish every time.

  Evidently, quite possibly, it would seem , in the near future, we may expect monkeys to fly out of our butt!
