Would you care to elaborate on what you mean by "the Jehovah's Witness belief in a Prophetess"?
thank you.
Introspection

Well, they do believe in atleast one prophetess from the bible, can't recall the name right now but not that it gets a lot of attention. These days they don't really believe there are any prophets, just their interpretation of existing bible prophecies.

Intro,
would you be meaning Deborah?
Learning,
In reference to Deborah, the JW publication Insight on the Scriptures, Page 695, under the heading Prophet states:
Aside from the anonymous man of Judges 6:8, the only person specifically mentioned in the book of Judges as rendering prophetic service was Deborah the prophetess. (Jg. 4:4-7; 5:7)
And Page 697-8 states:
As earlier, some Christian women received the gift of prophesying, though always subject to the headship of the male members of the congregation. -- Ac 21:9; 1Cor 11:3-5.
As Intro said, "not that [the prophetess] gets a lot of attention."
'nuff said!
