Countless times I have approached a Jehovah's Witness to refer to the false prophecies of the Company, they answer me that "never have claimed to be inspired", or "never have claimed to be infallible, and this is the best that at least are aware that "something has been said," for in other cases the answer is simply that "have never made a false prophecy", or say that "other religious groups have also been guilty of doing the same - as if this proof the exempt.
But nevertheless, these responses are (so to say them reasonable ) as from the "logic" of their own leaders, then see the best justification I found regarding the marking of the Watchtower Society is not a false prophet (specifically their leaders because they will provide all the spiritual food), which appeared in the Awake of March 22, 1993:
1. Have made 'predictions in the name of the Lord. "
2. Have 'had the gift of prophecy. "
3. Have 'tried to revere his writings and he is considered infallible . "
4. Have tried to 'be inspired. "
5. Be 'fallible. '
6. 'Dogmatic. "
7. They 'said that his writings are inspired. '
also say that the false prophets
8. Han 'proclaimed messages attributed to a superhuman source. "
9. 'Have-nots as the source of the true God' and
10. Nor 'are in harmony with His revealed will. "
I almost nothing right? I wonder how many religions or organizations actually meet these 10 requirements to label them as being "false prophets."
What does the Bible say?
Since I am of those who think it's the Bible that should have the final word on the teaching and doctrine, this clearly tells us how to identify a false prophet:
And then, are or are not false prophets?
Let's see, now the next frame appears on every magazine Awake (before 1995):
What happens is that they are 'a True Prophet [Jehovah] do not inspire, but directed by spirit. "
Although the Bible only speaks of true prophets and false prophets, the Watchtower leaders have created a third class or prophet categoĆa:
Oddly enough, this is really how they see themselves but deny it again and again to be inspired, they are considered "led by the spirit" .
Who you gonna believe?
Jehovah's Witnesses, led by their eager anticipation the second coming of Jesus, proposed dates resulting wrong. As a result, some have called them false prophets . However, in any of these cases took the liberty of making pred iction 'in the name of the Lord. " never said 'These are the words of God. " The Watchtower "the official magazine of the Jehovah's Witnesses, said:" We do not have the prophesying n " (January 1883, page 425, English edition). "Nor do we claim to revere our writings or to be considered foolproof " (December 15, 1896, page 306, English edition). The Watchtower has also said that some have Jehovah's spirit "does not mean those now serving as Jehovah's Witnesses be inspired, or that the writings of this magazine, The Watchtower, be inspired and infallible and without error '(October 1, 1947, page 301). "The Watchtower not meant to be inspired by his statements, nor is it dogmatic ca" (January 1, 1951, page 24). "The brothers preparing these publications are not infallible . Their writings are not inspired such as those of Paul and other biblical writers. (2 Tim. 3:16.) And so, sometimes it has been necessary, as understanding has become more clear, correct some points of view. (Prov. 4:18.) "(July 1, 1981, page 19.)Now if we compare this with the definition of the Watchtower that they are "false prophets", this simply tells us they are:

People and organizations that claim men the messages that they attribute to a superhuman source but not have the true God as the source (3) or are in harmony with His revealed will.The problem with all this "reasoning" is that they placed a number of conditions to say they (the Governing Body) are not false prophets. Count to see how many would they have to meet requirements to actually at least can be considered as false prophets, because as leaders they never:

What does the Bible say?
Since I am of those who think it's the Bible that should have the final word on the teaching and doctrine, this clearly tells us how to identify a false prophet:
Of the 10 conditions laid down by the Watchtower to identify a false prophet of the Lord, only the first-speak for the Lord "is mentioned in the Bible, there are only nine remaining in the mind of the Governing Body, and therefore of the Jehovah's Witnesses. The second requirement of the Bible that the word "is not met, nor come to pass" is not mentioned in the requirements of the Watchtower, just say that because of his "eager anticipation" have "had to correct some points of view" and as always quoting the verse from Proverbs 4:18, which has nothing to do.The prophet presumes to speak a word in my name, whom I commanded him to speak ar, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word that Jehovah has not spoken?; if the prophet ( 1) speaks in the name of the Lord, and (2) is not fulfilled what he said or come true, is the word Jehovah n or talk; spoke presumptuously that prophet, not afraid of him.
- Deuteronomy 18:20-22, RV60
And then, are or are not false prophets?
While leaders deny that they are "inspired" does not deny that they are "a prophet 'of Jehovah
... Jehovah have a prophet to help them, to warn of the dangers and to declare things to come?
IDENTIFYING THE "PROPHET"
These questions can be answered affirmatively. Who is this prophet? ... This "prophet" was not a single man, but was a body of men and women. was the small group of footstep followers of Jesus Christ, known at that time as International Students of the Bible. Today they are known as Jehovah's Christian witnesses.
- The Watchtower, September 1, 1972, pg. 517
Let's see, now the next frame appears on every magazine Awake (before 1995):
"The promise of the Creator" published millions of times in hundreds of languages \u200b\u200bin each Awake!

Is there a difference between saying "These are the words of the Lord" and say "This is the promise of the Creator" (ie, Jehovah)? The promise of "a peaceful and secure new world before it disappears from the generation that saw the events of 1914" was printed in every magazine Awake! for many years until November 1995 when the Governing Body finally realized that this was not "the Creator's promise" (for then all "the generation that saw the events of 1914" ... was dead, so as no sense to proclaim this "promise of the Creator"), was again in evidence that they had spoken on behalf of the Lord and nothing had happened, as this was only the promise of themselves. So I simply changed the removed "faithful and discreet." (Click image to enlarge)
What happens is that they are 'a True Prophet [Jehovah] do not inspire, but directed by spirit. "
