How do you suppose that someone quantify the number of prophesies that one attempts to understand?

The question is: 'How many major predictions has the JW organisation made over the last 100 or more years that have been right and how many of them have been wrong?'

Here's what I asked for, verbatim: "major predictions, forecasts, prognostications, prognoses, or supposed divinations". If you don't happen to like one of the words on the list, just have a go at any one or more of "predictions, forecasts, prognostications, prognoses"

oh dear i don't think repeating the same DRIVEL it is going to help you, you made the statement, its not an attack on your person, its asking you for clarification of your words, so lets ask you again, how did the brothers go about this supposed divination that you describe.

If you don't like the word "divinations" [which means "the practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by supernatural means", e.g. from the supposedly supernaturally-inspired Bible], then just tackle the question through the words "major predictions, forecasts, prognostications, prognoses".

I don't know, I'm not a JW. How did "the brothers" go about making their "predictions, forecasts, prognostications, prognoses" and how many of them have been right and how many have been wrong?

I want you to tell the forum how they went about this supposed divination that you describe, those were your words, its nothing to do with my liking anything, so you will now tell the forum how the brothers went about this supposed divination that you mention. fourth time asking.

you don't know and yet you used the term, is that not an indication of your ignorance? Clearly it must be? how else are we to understand it? do you normally simply apply words to processes that you know next to nothing about?

In fact, I asked a question, and you seem intent on not answering it.

I used the word "divinations" in one of the ways that I understand it. If you disagree, that's fine. But it is a red herring on your part. What about the other words I used?

I have no intention of battling your ignorance.

I don't know how they did, or even if they did. If they took the bible to be a supernaturally inspired book, then looking at it to find supernaturally inspired predictions about the future would be "divinations" according to my understanding of the word. So, that aside - discount my use of that particular word if you want to - what about the rest of the question?
