Claim: Jehovah's Witnesses never claimed to be prophets.

Answer: You don't get to choose what word describes your actions. A prophet is someone who predicts the future. The Jehovah's Witnesses can't say they are not prophets any more then someone who has written many computer programs can't say they are not programmers because they never claimed to be a computer programmer.

"Scripture can be likened to a lamp which illuminates the truth.
It's mission is to shed the light of truth. When a brighter light
appears, the mission of the old one fades. Today's religions have
failed to lead the present generation out of the dark valley of
death into the radiance of life, so there must now come a new
truth that can shed a new light." Divine Principle, p.10. Sun Moon
Rev Sun Myung Moon teaches that the Bible alone is not enough,
that you need the "new light" offered by Moon's organization. Though he claims
to revere the Bible, members are told that the group leaders are the
only ones who can correctly interpret scripture. As a result, members
spend their time reading literature written by the group supplemented
by little pieces of the Bible.
Here is a documentary on the Moonies

Re: Yknot about Franz's Baptism
I found that really weird when you mentioned that, so I looked it up. Looks like the article you quoted was from Franz’s memory. The society must have gotten their date from an article written after his death (ideal time to make shit up… after someone is dead) "Rewarded With the Crown of Life", The Watchtower, March 15, 1993, page 31, 32 It says in that article that he was baptized Nov 30 th 1913. And the one in 5/1/87 that you quoted is actually from Franz himself where he says he was baptized in 1914… Apparently he was wrong about his own baptism, a fact that could only be changed after his death where he couldn’t say anything about it.
