In other words, everybody just has to accept your assertions?

Nope. The Bible completly supports those beliefs. That is completely different then trying to figure out times and dates with prophicies that Jesus gave, not us, if you can grasp that.

Let's not deflect the issue to my falibilities and limitations; why not answer my questions instead?

Has it ever crossed your mind that this may in fact be one of the "falibilities" you seem insistent on us accepting?

Or perhaps "JW falibility" only goes as far as interpretation of prophecy and not as far as self actualisation as the "sole holders of God's truth on Earth"?

Hummm good point. That would be a great start as no other religion even cares about such things as the time we live in and the signs that Jesus told us to pay attention too. If ones do not care, tell us and we'll go to the next door to find ones who do care.

Matthew 24:32-39
New Living Translation (NLT)

32 “Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. 33 In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very near, right at the door. 34 I tell you the truth, this generation[a] will not pass from the scene until all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

36 “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself.[b] Only the Father knows.

37 “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. 38 In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. 39 People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes.

Notice verse 38 when it mentions just everyday activities such as marriage. Not a bad thing but the point here is most would be doing just everyday things seemingly without a care.
But why didn't they know what was going on? Why were they not warned? Did their churches not tell them about this and to be prepared? Apparently not.
We do as God tells us and try to warn as many as we possibly can. You and most others knock us for doing this. How selfish of anyone to put us down and to tell us were are fools......

You're just stacking more assertions on top of the previous assertions. Do you feel you are "being used by God" as you heap them up?

So your predictions about the 'end times', for example, are fallible even though they are based on biblical interpretation; but your assertions - also based on biblical interpretation - about your organisation being the only one "being used by God" are infallible?

Your copy & paste does not answer my question.

Are your assertions about your organisation being the only organisation "being used by God" fallible or infallible?

Only slightly until I can always prove it by the Bible. That's good enough for me....

You dodge the key question yet again. Are your assertions about your organisation being the only organisation being used by God fallible or infallible?

Can you prove it to me? You can't.

Can you prove it to anyone here? You can't.

Why is it therefore "proof" to you?

How are the Jehovah's Wtnesses preparing for this day? That is, other than predicting wrong dates for it.

"Only slightly."

I'll take this comment to the "doubt" thread where you denied ever having any.
