Jehovah's Witnesses have always humbly taught that they are *NOT* infallible and *NOT* inspired by God. They do not "prophesy", and in modern times they never have.
For more than 125 years, Jehovah's Witnesses have consistently rejected the definition of "prophet" insisted upon by this so-called "questioner" and other anti-Witness activists.
Jehovah's Witnesses apply the term "prophet" only in a very limited sense to themselves as a religion, not to individuals. The Scriptures indicate that whenever Jehovah purposes to execute judgment upon a people, he always makes arrangment for a 'prophet's work' as a warning. Their self-description as a "prophet" (in this limited sense) does not indicate special inspired knowledge or foreknowledge, but their willingness to perform Christ's assigned warning work in our day leading up to Armageddon.
What group is working harder than Jehovah's Witnesses to preach God's message globally (as Noah did before the Deluge)?
(Amos 3:7) For the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will not do a thing unless he has revealed his confidential matter to his servants the prophets.
(2 Peter 2:5) Noah, a preacher of righteousness...
(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.

The prophecies of the Bible's Prophets are intricate...
Some of them have been fulfilled with astounding accuracy.
Other prophecies are yet to be fulfilled.
But of those that have been fulfilled, the writers are unquestionably Prophets of the True and Living God.

bear in mind - for a individual to declare "The Lord says". If the subject isn't from the Lord, however the guy is claiming that's then the guy in accordance to God's word is announcing a dying sentence on him/her self. God will decide and cope with them Himself in executing His sentence. in spite of God's warning there have been many fake prophets And the Bible is sparkling that some fake prophets would be a hundred% precise in effortless terms asserting enable us to worship different gods. The specific try is "To the regulation and to the testimony in the event that they communicate no longer in accordance to this word, there is not any mild in them." Isa 8.20 So in case you would be risk-free you will desire to comprehend God's testimony - the Bible and particularly His regulation. the ten commandments and not the watered down version so popularly printed.

NO. If they did, they would not have met the criteria for a true prophet.
Watchtower was strickly a business venture under the legal protection of the internal revenue services at the time.
