Thanks for the compliment sis.
I was on the couch, in my underwear, when I heard a car pull up in my driveway. I looked out and saw them. It was the JW that comes to my door. I figured, correctly as it turned out, that he was bringing the big guns.
When I heard them on my porch, and before they knocked, I busted out the door electrified and animated. I proclaimed, "Why would anyone join the JWs? They come out of the false prophet William Miller in the 1800s, and instead of stoning Miller your founder Charles Russel picks up where Miller left off and starts predicting prophecies all over again. And since then the JWs have had failed prophecies time and time again, being wrong probably a thousand times, at least.
They went back on their heels at my ecstatic display and pronouncement. I continued on theatrically, "How could anyone belong to a group that's been nothing but wrong so many times?" They were stunned, and their jaws were dropped, to see and hear such a spectacle.
Then the one that's been coming humbly responded, "How many times did it take Edison to invent the light bulb?" I said, "Edison didn't invent the light bulb, but it took him a thousand tries to invent the bulb that could be marketed. So are you saying that if you keep saying, "Jesus is coming back tomorrow sooner or later you'll be right?""
So they agree with you sis Nell: "All the prophecies have been with us for a very long time, but one day, they will be fulfilled."
