Bible Note: Dear Stokeyhk, As you may be aware, Deut.18:20-22 gives the Biblical qualifications for a Prophet. Vs. 22..."if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that thing is the thing which the Lord has not spoken"... A true Biblical Prophet is one who is 100 percent correct, 100 percent of the time! The Watchtower Organization is more than mistaken in their expectations about 1914, 1925, and 1975. They are in open disregard of scripture! We are enjoined against setting dates of the Lords' (Christs') return in Matt.24:23-26. How does one get around and ignore this clear warning of Jesus? This matter goes directly to the issue of credibility. If ANY organization makes claims that are PROVEN to be false, in what other areas might they be wrong also? It is one thing to forgive an honest mistake and to repent. It is quite another to ignore repeated false prophesying and excuse it. Even in baseball, it's three strikes and you're out! Credibilty and integrity require that both ACTIONS and WORDS match up. My friend, it is my sincere hope and prayer that you will "know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life."
