but let’s not pretend they are a new player in this game
🤦♂️ That obviously isn’t what I meant. Was in a hurry. JWs are a ‘new player’, but it’s the game that isn’t new.

Jesus clearly warned us that some people wolud predict things that would not come true. That makes them a false prophet. He said that they would look good on the outside, but pretty nasty once you popped the hood and peaked inside. It is a perfect description of the Watchtower organization:
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. - Jesus

Nah,, no nah.
But prophecies & generations can overlap though.
Then its ok.
Perfect sense.

You know who else that makes a 'false prophet'?
28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.....Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
The writers who put the words above in the mouth of Jesus.

The WTS makes it clear in this quote, that even if jws don't understand what the WTS is saying, do it anyway. Watchtower 2013 Nov 15 p.20
"At that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not." -

I was re-reading this and this statement is from a comic from years ago, I have met the enemy, and he is us. Appeared in the newspaper Earth Day 1970.
