this morning a thought occured to me "has the society ever made a prediction or prophecy that has come true"?.
most of us are familiar with the prophecies or dates the wts has emphasized in the past.
of course all of those predictions never proved to be accurate so the question is, "if this is god's prophetic organization where is the proof"?.

again i hit the point on the head and you failed to
see the answer.
if you show me where the society has claimed to predict based on sources outside the bible..i would give you the answer you want.
as far as i know, the society is not claiming to be a prophet
who claims to fortell future events..again go back to one of my first posts

as regards to the society claiming to predict, I have yet to see
a statment where they have claimed that dates such as 1975 came through
a revelation..
i havent seen the prophet statement by c.t russell so i cant
comment on it, however i would be interested in seeing his statements
of "prophecy" of divine revelation.

In what other sense would someone be considered a prophet?
The Greek pro·phe'tes literally means “a speaker out [Gr., pro, “before” or “in front of,” and phe·mi', “say”]” and thus describes a proclaimer, one who makes known messages attributed to a divine source. (Compare Tit 1:12.) Though this includes the thought of a predictor of the future, the fundamental meaning of the word is not that of prediction. (Compare Jg 6:7-10.) Nonetheless, living in harmony with God’s will requires that the individual know what Jehovah’s revealed purposes for the future are so that he may bring his ways, desires, and goals into line with the divine will. Hence, in the great majority of cases, the Biblical prophets did convey messages that were, directly or indirectly, related to the future.
An inspired message; a revelation of divine will and purpose or the proclamation thereof. Prophecy may be an inspired moral teaching, an expression of a divine command or judgment, or a declaration of something to come. As shown under PROPHET, prediction, or foretelling, is not the basic thought conveyed by the root verbs in the original languages (Heb., na·va´'; Gr., pro·phe·teu'o); yet it forms an outstanding feature of Bible prophecy.
Jehovah’s prophets were privileged to proclaim his message publicly. The Hebrew term for “prophet” (na·vi´') has an uncertain etymology, but its use in the Bible indicates that true prophets were spokesmen for Jehovah, men of God with inspired messages. The Greek word rendered “prophet” (pro·phe'tes) literally means “a speaker out,” to say something “in front of” or “before” someone. A prophet is one who proclaims messages attributed to a divine source. Often, but not always, God’s true prophets predicted future events.

[quote]They may have have successfully predicted a large preaching campaign and growth for their organization. But, that is not much of an accomplishment. /[quote]
its not a prediction if it is found in the bible

go ahead........just dont mix up total misunderstanding
of the scripture with predicting out of the blue.
and dont limit the term "prophet" with someone who only
fortells future events.
