The founder of the JW's, Charles Taze Russell, made multiple predictions of the end of the world. How many of the predictions has he or the Watchtower made that were actually true?

Nobody predicted the end of the world. We know that the world will be here forever and always have believed that.

(Psalm 104:5) He has founded the earth upon its established places; It will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.
(Psalm 37:29) The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it.
(Matthew 5:5) “Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.

You try to figure out what you think was predicted and we can answer it. You listen to what other haters claim. Not what you know.

Using the expression "multiple predictions" is misleading.
There is only one prediction and that is Armaggedon.
AND it is not made by JWs.
It is made by the Bible.
Have JWs tried to put a date on Armaggedon?
Yes, 3 times in 140 years.
Were they wrong?
Yes.
Does that mean Armaggedon is not coming?
No.

Well....no other religion warned during decades before 1914 that 1914 would be an important year in mankind.

What is your religion?

As my brothers and sisters have said, we have never made a prophesy about the end of the world.

We have interpreted Bible prophesies incorrectly, There is nothing wrong with that.

We do not believe the world will be destroyed. We believe that the governments will be overthrown by Jesus and he will rid the earth of those who refuse to worship his God and Father, Jehovah.

The Trinitarian religions believe that Jesus will rapture all his people to heaven, come to the earth and give the people left behind a tribulation beyond all tribulations and then destroy the earth sending everybody to hell to be tortured forever.

The trinitarians believe in the end of the world, not Jehovah's Witnesses.

Quote: "....no other religion warned during decades before 1914 that 1914 would be an important year in mankind"

Lol...wow.

So let's clarify this. If Jehovah Witnesses really had desire for the truth and bothered to take the time to read pre -1914 literature, like many of us have, they would find out that the Watchtower society prediction for 1914 was that the end of the world would come..

So in reality 1914 amounts to just another failed prediction. The idea that 1914 marked the begining of the last days was only adopted in the early 1940's. How many JWs know, or care to know this? Very few as we see.....

Not to mention the fact that 1914 itself is a false date and has no biblical significance to begin with, but i guess that is another question.

Wikipedia has an entire article devoted to listing and outlining all the failed predictions that society has made:

But the Jehovah's Witnesses love to play games with semantics. So you have to use their own terminology to get a straight answer. Instead of predictions, use the term "Bible-based spiritual expectations."

@ call me gary, how is it ok for the Jehovah Witnesses to have interpreted Bible prophesies incorrectly but not anyone else?? How does this make JWs any better then anyone else who reads the bible and interprets the way the want?
Makes no since to what you said because that is what being JW is about having the right interpretation of the NWT bible... The New Light you guys get should let you know that the WTS is of false prophets just like all the other religions out there because its man made.. DUH!!!
