As seen above, the Watchtower Society actually stated that they "have not the gift of
prophesy" when they have indeed referred to themselves as "modern day prophets".
How can they not have the gift of prophesy yet be modern day prophets? Further, is it
possible to be an uninspired prophet? Clearly not! This was a deliberate attempt for the
Society to appear as though they had never predicted when Jehovah's day would arrive,
and for them to have in print that they have never claimed to have the gift of prophesy.
Now it is discernible as to why the Watchtower Society does not want loyal followers
to access older publications because the real "truth" shall set them free.

And as for predicting dates for the end?
Apparently Witnesses were cautioned
against doing this. How can the Society
expect their followers to not be swept up
by dates and expectations, when they are
constantly feeding it to them in their
literature?

Because Jehovah's Witnesses are
known for false prophesies and
contradicting doctrines (which they
refer to as new light), the
Watchtower Society was forced to
construct a defense mechanism for
their followers. Through the use of
a clever psychological trick, the
Watchtower openly admits that they
have never claimed infallibility,
which is technically true. Although
the Society has never used the word
"inspired" to describe themselves
and they have openly admitted that
they are not infallible, the fact is
that they have always claimed to be
Jehovah's mouthpiece.

The myriads of false predictions within Watchtower's history serve as transparent
evidence that the Society utilizes the apocalyptic doctrine to recruit and retain
members. Whether it be false predictions or outright lies, Jehovah's Witnesses must
recognize that the Watchtower Society's teachings do contradict and completely
extinguish previous viewpoints. Falsely defining these adjustments as "new light" or
"progressive understanding" is the excuse the Society uses to reiterate the necessity
of themselves to loyal followers, in turn generating more revenue into this
multi-billion dollar corporation.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not speak
much of the immediate events
following Armageddon. After all,
they do realize the survivors will
have the "privilege" of cleaning
up the dead carcasses and
crumbled ruins of "Christendom"
before the earth can be
transformed into a perfect
subtropical paradise.

Although it is unknown to modern day Jehovah's Witnesses, Jehovah let Joseph
Rutherford (second President of the Watchtower Society) know exactly what
paradise earth would be like as seen in his publication The Way to Paradise:

Like today, the apocalyptic doctrine of the last days was extremely prevalent within the
Watchtower organization during Joseph Rutherford's presidency. Rutherford
unhesitatingly and emphatically forced Jehovah's Witnesses to believe that Armageddon
was just right around the corner. He continually discouraged loyal followers from
getting married or having children because Armageddon was claimed to be so near. Let's
listen to the following audio clip to reiterate this fact:

From this lesson we have concluded two facts. First, Jehovah's Witnesses claim to be
modern day prophets. Secondly, the Watchtower Society has indeed pinpointed to
various dates and time frames as to when Armageddon would occur. Due to these false
predictions, the Watchtower Society had to change some of their doctrines. The
Society refers to this as "new light". We refer to it as "covering their tracks". A wise
man once said "If you lie once, you have to keep lying to cover up the first one."
