No, you really haven't. You've believed what your organization has told you. There's a difference.

Boy, talk about splitting hairs!

Actually I listen to Jesus first on all matters. His teachings back the JW teachers in every translation on earth. And yes, my teachers have taught me to listen to Jesus first. Because they listen to Jesus.

This could have been an interesting thread, if people had posted some excerpts from the Watchtower or other official publications containing writings dealing with the prophetic statements of the past.

However, that didn't happen. There's no point in leaving this open, tempting some people to use it as a vehicle to bash the Jehovah's Witnesses.
