Jehovah's Witnesses, what is your definition of a false prophet? and what does the Bible say?

Question

about false prophets..how do you know if one is a false prophet?

Answer 1

Not being a Jehovah's Witness myself, I would think that they would see any of those that have defined the denominations that now exist, as false prophets, while somehow retaining their own CT Russell as having the truth. I get the feeling that people can twist the Bible around to just about anything that they want, and if they know the Greek better than we do, they can say anything they want and we have to believe them because they are the ones defining it.

This gives them an advantage over the Christian that does not know Greek and cannot argue successfully with them without having a pastor present or at least someone who has been through seminary and has taken Greek classes so that they can refute them. But they also bring up plenty of logical fallacies that the average person does not recognize. While I have to applaud their focus on theology and their skill at apologetics, I also feel that they do not preach the true gospel of Christ, and hold the markings of a cult (they will deny this, of course).
