Among thousands of Harold Camping’s critics, Father James Dinwoody, a Christian priest, said that “end of the world prophets are nothing new. There are various sects and cults throughout the western world that prey on the different situations of individuals and their emotions.”
Fr. Dinwoody said “the Church has witnessed this phenomenon for centuries. Some do it for money while others may appear to be sincere, but nonetheless, when their predicted dates pass by, it’s apparent to everyone that they are nothing more than false prophets.”
Harold Camping and his group have been proclaiming that May 21st would be the date for the end of the world, and more specifically, around 6:00 p.m. that day. There is now a group taking bets on what Camping’s excuse will be.
“There is a passage in the Bible where Christians and Jews can look to concerning false prophets,” Fr. Dinwoody told Westmoreland Times. “Deuteronomy 18:22 warns those who would be prophets in both ancient and modern times. It says ‘When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.’”, said Fr. Dinwoody.

For those interested in actual facts, it was understood in the 1870′s that the 7 times of the gentiles would end on or about October 3rd of 1914~~read Dan 4:23 and Luke 21:24. And the world events fortold by Jesus (Matt 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21) and Paul (2Tim 3:1-5) clearly started at that time. Jesus first responsibility was to cleanse the heavens of Satan and his demons. They were cast down to the vicinity of the earth, and ‘woe for the earth because he has great anger knowing he has a short period of time’(Rev 12:7-12). Interestingly, the 2 great wars fought last century were not WW5 or WW6. Historians recognized that wars had never been fought on a scale anywhere near that magnitude and labeled them WW1 and WW2. It fits nicely with the revelation given by our Lord Jesus to John in Rev 6:3-8. Yes, peace was to be taken from the earth as shown by the rider on the fiery colored horse that has a big sword. Has this world seen peace since 1914? Hardly. It has been a time of unprecidented woe for the people of the earth. Don’t forget, it was Jesus himself who told us that when we see everything happening that was prophesied to happen, we should know that the Kingdom of God is near (Luke 21:29-31). That 1914 was a year marked in Bible prophecy and it was understood as such is remarkable, even if its full understanding was not understood until a few years later. That the Christian congregation would not have a complete understanding all at once was told by Jesus in John 16:12. Reguarding all the dates listed when predictions were supposedly made, they were not. I would gladly post an article from the Oct 1st 1975 Watchtower that shows the fallacy of trying to predict the end of the world if anyone would like. Not predicting has been the consistant teaching of the Watchtower Society and any other acusations about supposed predictions are false.(Matt 24:36)
The Watchtower first published in 1879 had the slogan:
advertise,advertise,advertise the King and his (1914) Kingdom.
Jehovah Witnesses are a spin-off of the second Adventist which all came from
the Millerite movement.
American war of 1812 army captain William Miller is ground zero for Jehovah’s
Witnesses.
Yes,the “great disappointment” of Oct 22 1844 has never died out… it lives on
in the Seventh day Adventist (who admit it) and the Jehovah’s Witnesses who deny
it. The central CORE doctrine of the Watchtower,yes the reason the Watchtower
came into existence was to declare Jesus second coming in 1914.
When the prophecy (derived from William Miller of 1842) failed they said that he
came “invisibly”.
Ergo,no 1914 foundation then there can be no 1918 inspection and sealing of the
‘anointed’ GB so the entire Watchtower Bible and Tract Society doctrinal
superstructure comes crashing down like a house of cards.

**Feed your faith and starve your doubts.**
What keeps doomsday cults going after repeated prophetic failures?
Jehovahs Witnesses are still expecting the end because their rational mind no longer works it has become irrational because the desire for a new world is so potent it overwrites everything else”~ Greendawn
Cognitive dissonance:In brief, the theory of cognitive dissonance holds that contradicting cognitions serve as a driving force that compels the mind to acquire or invent new thoughts or beliefs, or to modify existing beliefs, so as to minimize the amount of dissonance (conflict) between cognitions.
Watchtower doctrinal structure has had many flip-flops and back ups.
If the leaders owned up to their errors instead of white washing they would have more respect.They set bogus dates over and over…
The Watchtower JW has made apocalyptic proclamations profitable.
The end of the world is coming someday….. but it wont be the Watchtower society Jehovahs Witnesses fulfillment.
At least the jehovahs witnesses have recognized that nobody knows the day or the hour but only god. Now that they have recognized it they stop and they dont keep guessing dates because ‘ the lights shines more and more ‘ meaning that the knowlegde will expand and they will be able to understand the scriptures more because the bible is full of figurative language. This figurative language has only one meaning. Please dont try to spread negative comments about the Jehovahs witnesses becuase you either know you are wrong and dont want to stop what you are doing or you just want to seem popular with your friends that hate on what the jehovahs witneeses do. Around the world organizations have ben trying to do what they have been doing by preaching in an orderly way in which they preach for more than a billion hours per year and no other organization can do that. Jesus also said that love would detect the group that would be chosen. Which other group has more love than the JW’s ? Please dont just post negativeness but post positive stuff.
What are you talking about when you say Jehovah’s witnesses have more love ???
Has the Watchtower started any charitable organizations to help the poor , any schools for education , helping the homeless , build hospitals, build orphanages , I could on and on – All Jehovah’s Witnesses do is litter the landscape with magazines.
