I certainly agree. From those I've met, they couldn't be more sincere about their message.
::Most people here were that way but now have succumbed to other interests of a personal and selfish nature. However they have done their time and God will reward them accordingly. You however may wish to give to God what He rightfully deserves, and I wish you may find a delight greater than words can describe in the service of Our Grand Creator and his Son Jesus Christ.
Each one must answer the call for themselves.::
Well, of course I have my own beliefs already which already account for this. I am a Christian. However, I am always willing to take an objective look at other things until they are proven false to me. I won't accept them at face value, but I'll try to give them the benefit of the doubt to start off, so that I can dig deaper to find the truth.
That is what my question is aimed at. From what I've seen already, it seems that the credibility of the Jehovah's Witness organization hinges upon their past history. Clearly, the Bible states that when one prophesies in the name of God (or Jehovah), and that prophesy does not come true, then that prophet was a false one. I don't know of anywhere in the Bible which discounts intentions for this specific thing (prophesying), though I'll admit I certainly don't have the Bible memorized.
