@Glacial The Bible students were not their precursors. They were one and the same just by a different name. You are wrong that there are five specific dates where we predicted the end of the world. I think you mean a couple but it isn’t your fault for being wrong because our opposers put out incorrect info about us. Plus, we never said the end would come in 1975. We said the end of 6,000 years of human history came in that year and we added that it would be interesting to see if there was any significance for that year and the end but we added that we were not making any claim of the end. Individual JWs took it wrong. However, for most it was a very uneventful year. The Bible students did not make 9 predictions of the end.
The Bible becomes less vague as time goes on. In Proverbs it talks about the “light that is getting lighter and lighter” as the time goes on. Another scripture says that knowledge would become abundant in the end times. Anyway, what I was referring to that wasn’t vague was the predictions in Matt. 24:1–14 not the Bible as a whole.
I will talk more about the JWs mistakes tomorrow, but I have to go to bed. I actually have already talked about that subject before in this forum.
