So you were never a JW, that answers my question.
No one answered your question, stop making things up.
Belittles debating, seriously? How terrible! How about your belittling of people who come on this forum because their family has been trapped in a fucking cult for decades.
Tell me, do you always make up ridiculous things or is this a special occasion? And yes, belittles debating. Based on your comments, you seriously could have learned a lot from a debate team.
If you are saying that people claim it's a prophecy, we then need to shift the question to "how are they defining prophecy" - yes, that's what I said. Many millions of Christians believe it's a prophecy. They believe the Old Testament foretold Jesus' betrayal. It would have to not be explicit because the various passages of scripture aren't explicit. The details given are: Jesus' betrayer would be someone close to him; and Jesus would be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver. That's enough for Christians.
Many, many (all?) Christians believe a prophecy to be a foretelling of a specific event. They aren't too bothered about details, it seems, because they have scant details to go on. After all, the Bible doesn't state beyond doubt that in 33CE Jesus would be betrayed by Judas Iscariot.
Christians have faith that this is accurate and correct.
The Jesus god became popular because he showed the most love, kindness and empathy toward the enduring plight of humanity, perhaps more so than any other god before him, mythological speaking or not and because of that he's still popular to this day.

It's not explicit but gives details? Interesting.

It beyond a doubt absolutely does not state anything even remotely like that.

Well, faith is about pretending to know things.
