Were they right about anything?

    Well,

    To be fair, I think its a little unrealistic to put the WT's prophetic statements up to a watchful eye of scruitiny since almost all of their prophecies are really set for fulfillment in the end times. I will say this though, they predicted that the JW's would grow as an organization and, by golly its happened. A very profitable one in fact. An organization that has profited tremendously off of the interest that comes off of those kingdom hall loans, voluntary contributions, efficient mass marketing, and all of those people who donated all of their worldly posessions and bank accounts right before they died...orrrrrr...right before they thought the world was coming to an end. Hmmm, seems like they pretty much had it guaranteed that they would be elevated to the multi million dollar status that they have achieved...

    Has anything that the WTS predicted in advance, that was of their own origin come about? If so, what?

    Yes, they said "the love of the greater number would cool off" in our time. They were right......at least when they applied it to their own group untill they changed it to mean the "world" in general. The love for the Organisation is falling in areas that know them, so I guess they had it right for awhile anyways.

    They even got that one wrong Big Tbastard. They went and put the name Jehovah in the N.T instead of God like everyone else did and said it was posta be there. Big knuckleheads!

    Perhaps, but they still acknowledge that "God" appears somewhere in the Bible.

    They're certainly right when they say they are not inspired, not infallible and are just human.

    Not sure about that human bit - seems that they endeavour to become less - like their god - more like a beast than a human
