Watchtower failed Prophecies
‘Of course, it is easy to say that this group acts as a ‘prophet’ of God. It is another thing to prove it. The only way that this can be done is to review the record. What does it show?’
‘And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?’
‘But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die’
‘The faithful and discreet slave’

‘When a prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, and the thing followeth not, nor cometh to pass, that is the word which Jehovah hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: be not afraid of him.’
‘Jehovah’s organization alone, in all the earth, is directed by God’s holy spirit or force (Zech.4:6). Only this organization functions for Jehovah’s purpose and to his praise. To it alone God’s Sacred Word, the Bible, is not a sealed book ... How very much true Christians appreciate associating with the only organization on earth that understands the ‘deep things of God’! Direction by God’s spirit enables Jehovah’s servants to have divine light in a world of spiritual darkness.’
‘That prophet shall die’ - Deuteronomy 18:20
