I had an uncle who somehow got involved with Jehovah’s Witnesses. As my dad approached death he, too, became a Jehovah’s Witness. They were always predicting the end of the world.....in seven years. When the seven years came due I asked, “Why did the world not end?” The reply was that they had miscalculated and that there was now an additional seven years.
That was in the mid-60s and we are still here. What happened? ROFL
I suppose that in your case you prefer to allow the counterfeit to countermand the true . . .
