Alan: Here is one of the Society's statements that use to appear in every Awake! magazine...

"Most importantly this magazine builds confidence in (Jehovah's) promise of a peaceful and secure new world before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away." - Awake!, March 22, 1993, p.4

Here the GB is saying that *Jehovah* is the One who had made that promise. But, as you know, in 1995 the GB acknowledged that the above statement was not true. And so, rather than it being "Jehovah's promise" it had only been *the Society's* promise all those years it appeared in the Awake! magazine.

Would you agree that it was a *statement* that was not true? If so, then wouldn't that made it a *false statement*?

Would you agree that it was a *teaching* that was not true? If so, then wouldn't that make it a *false teaching*?

Now the really big question:
Would you agree that it was a *prophecy* that was not true? If so, then wouldn't that make it a *false prophecy*? If not, why not? Why don't you feel that it was a false prophecy? What is missing that would have made it a false prophecy? How would the GB have had to say it so that you would recognize it as a false prophecy?
