For a while, anyway. His mother was a JW until she died. But Ike's dad, brothers and Ike himself all quit. Because...? Failed prophecies.

yes, I knew that! and see what you can do when you don't give your life away to forward the ambitions of an Organization and instead use it to forward your own ambitions, desires and abilities? You or your family might go on to do great things..
So many talented minds are held back in bondage to the Watchtower Society.. because they're forced to think and do and not think and not do. It saddens me to think of the wasted potential..

I don't see anything wrong with that, simply because his term saw Peace and Prosperity for this country, quite a rare combination since the Civil War.
Obviously, that only means that IKE wasn't after the religious vote during his campaign at all, unlike the incumbent president who blatantly and shamelessly sought it out.
It's a good thing to know that IKE was like any regular guy, one who was capable of changing his own religious beliefs without much fanfare or public scrutiny.
Peace be with you.

Yes, I knew that - sometimes a person makes a choice for himself or herself, it doesn't mean anything about failed prophecies. It just simply means that that particular religion wasn't for him.
( which I don't understand which failed prophecies)

Yes, "whether prophecies, they shall fail": 1Cor 13:8.
But charity(perfect love, of pure grace) "never faileth".
So let's NOT dwell on failures; Rather upon perfection.
Perfection involves leave the principles: Hebrews 6:1.
Law vs Law is Loser vs Loser every way you look at it.
Can we move on, from carnal and natural to spiritual.
For there is never any consensus among the carnal.
Biblical order is: natural first, and spiritual afterward.
It's been AD--> of <--BC|AD--> for over 2000 yrs.
Can we move on, from created to made;
from created IMPerfect to made perfect.
For God said: Let us "MAKE" man
Can we move on, from child to man,
for God said: let us make "MAN".
Can we move on, from endlessly forgiving you,
to charity never fails is above forgiving one another.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

They quit because of failed prophecies? Wow. And the mother did not quit despite failed prophecies? Wow.
Is that why the disobedient angels quit obeying God and became demons? Because of failed prophecies? Wow.
Is that why Judas quit following Christ? Because of failed prophecies? Wow.
Go figure.

Did you know you can go to church everyday and still go to hell if you do not receive Jesus as your personal Savior?

Did you know I'm an atheist. And that also has no effect on anything on earth?
