Have the Jehovah's Witnesses predicted another date of doom as in the past?

Answer 1

Them JWs refuse to talk about that. Cult, cult, cult...

Answer 2

No, Jehovah's Witnesses do not predict dates of doom.

There are so many misunderstandings. I have been a witness for over 40 years. The only thing I remember about 1975, was that it had been 6000 years since Adam was created. If some speculated anything else, that was there own speculation and they were wrong in serving God for a date.

I know absolutely nothing about 1985. I've never heard that.

We still stand the Jesus began ruling in heaven in 1914, the end of the Gentile times, and that is presence was invisible.

As Matt. 24: 36 states "Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of th heavens nor the Son, but only the father."

However, when that "day" does arrive, it is a day of rejoicing, not doom. As brought out at Luke 21:28 "But as these things start to occur, raise yourselves erect and lift your heads up, because your deliverance is getting near."

Answer 3

There's a "Date of Doom" in EVERY Young Man's Life !

Answer 4

For more than a century, Jehovah's Witnesses have always presented their suppositions as the result of sincere bible research, rather than as "predictions" or "prophesying". Jehovah's Witnesses have never pretended that they are infallible or inspired. Jehovah's Witnesses have never pretended that they experience miraculous messages from God or Christ.

Interestingly, however, even those Christians who did enjoy direct communication from heaven at times came to wrong conclusions; these wrong conclusions were even communicated "out among the brothers"!

For example, the apostle Peter enjoyed remarkable privileges in the early congregation, but it seems that he was the source of an incorrect teaching about the apostle John that was not formally corrected until several DECADES had passed, and John himself finally wrote his gospel about 98 C.E.

(John 21:21-23) Peter said to Jesus: “Lord, what will this man do [that is, the apostle John]?” Jesus said to him: “If it is my will for him to remain until I come, of what concern is that to you? You continue following me.” In consequence, this saying went out among the brothers, that [the apostle John] would not die. However, Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but: “If it is my will for him to remain until I come, of what concern is that to you?”


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 arrangement 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.

Answer 5

No, and by the way even if we had made the supposed predictions, they are in no way a "doom date".

Answer 6

No we havent. We have in the past though made incorrect predictions because of an inaccurate interpretation of the bible. We now take to heart what Matthew 24:42 says ''Keep on the watch, therefore, because YOU do not know on what day YOUR Lord is coming.''

Answer 7

the date of doom is always tomorrow

Answer 9

Heres what Ann Coulter thinks: Deutsch then asked, "It would be better if we were all Christian?" to which Coulter responded, "Yes." Later in the discussion, Deutsch said to her: "[Y]ou said we should throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians," and Coulter again replied, "Yes."

Answer 10

Don't know if they have predicated another date. But I've heard for years now from some Christians how we are in the end times. Just how long are the end times supposed to last? Weeks, months, years, decades???
