Most Christians will be aware that the JWs have a history of false prophesy, along with their false Christology.

Lots of historical details in this video. I find this fascinating.

[AppyPappy]

At least they are consistent.

[Vermont Lt]

The things about prophesy as they are usually vague enough to fit a whole bunch of situations.

Some of them went full SHTF. Never go SHTF. You are gonna pay the price.
Oddly, they can keep fleecing the marks like it never happened.

I forget— are they the guys who believe that the founder read the golden tablets while looking at the seer stoves placed in a top hat? ( true story)

[MarlonRando]

seed stones, not stoves.

[MarlonRando]

seer stones. Damn, spellchecker while you’re driving sucks

[thescourged1]

That was Joseph Smith of the Latter-Day Saints (Mormons).

They don’t come around here anymore...I asked the boy to stay outside while I invited the girl to come inside the house.

Heck, our ‘klimate ree-searchers’ have more failed prophesies in much less time. And then we have the economic prophesies uttered by the matchless Nobel Economics Prize winner - Paul (missed it by that much)Krugman. Not defending the Witnesses, however. They’re just amongst a good sized group of folks who just have not quite dialed in the frequency.

This shows (youtube) entire Jehovah’s Witnesses History, from kooky bible study groups to increasingly authoritarian cult.

Mormons

According to Latter Day Saint theology, seer stones were used by Joseph Smith, as well as ancient prophets, to receive revelations from God.

Seventh day adventists are built on a false prophetess too - and Mormonism as well.

They have a lot in common with the Warmists’ in their predictions!

Recent reports show the number of Jehovah's Witnesses to be on the decline. This is said to be due to a couple of factors. The first is a series of lawsuits that caused the organization to cease from employing secrecy when disciplining members who are seen to have gone astray. The organizations one time ability to control people has decreased.

The second factor is they have relaxed the requirement on members in reporting the number of visitations they make, which was a means of advancing within the organization. Now there is not as much incentive to proselytize and a lot of Witnesses were demoralized by this.

My own thought is that the Witnesses have traditionally targeted the ignorant and uneducated. But now that information is so widely available online, it is easier to find well presented challenges to the Witnesses erroneous teaching and the history of the organization, especially it's long record of failed prophecies.

Another factor, of course, is the current trend across the board where people, especially the young, are less interested in religion in general, leading to a decrease in numbers all around.

,,, most religions have merit until they become corporations.

[Organic Panic]

Joseph Smith was one of the greatest scammers since Mohammed.

Well duh!

[BipolarBob]

7th day Adventists are based on the Bible. The world hates them because they follow God’s Commandments. The world hates God’s Laws.

[higgmeister]

Ah, no.   That was the clan that went from upstate New York, to the Midwest, and ended in Salt Lake City.
