Again...
These people (prophets) and the publication in which they wrote represented your religion at the time and they were wrong. They were false prophets. Hiding behind excuses about good intentions, no malice, over eagerness and even admitting "mistakes" does not change this fact.
The bible says that those who's prophesies do not come true are false prophets. It's plain and simple.
Time and events will tell.

I doubt you would have done as good.
Do you still blame the Catholic Church for the Inquisition?
There may be a few who do.

How "good" were the JW organization predictions?
I'd say they were false and wrong. Can we agree on that?

As Christians that's what Jesus said we should do.
Are you lookng for the end of this unsuccessful system of things?
When does your church say it will happen?

Do you ever worry that your corporate loyalty contorts your intellectual behaviour and simply turns you into a 'post-truth' propagandist? Do you ever reflect on it? Genuine question.

They are simply following what we as Christians should be doing:
(Matthew 24:42) Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.
(Proverbs 4:18) But the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light That grows brighter and brighter until full daylight.
No one will know until it happens but we keep looking for it.
(Matthew 24:36) “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.
(1 Thessalonians 5:2) For you yourselves know very well that Jehovah’s day is coming exactly as a thief in the night.
Is your church looking for the end?
