we have never claimed to be inspired prophets, the watchtower magazine has never claimed to be inspired, we have originated no prophecies. let me repeat this last statement for the very very very very last time, so as you get its import, we have merely sought to understand prophecies ALREADY WRITTEN, IN THE BIBLE.

But you cant be Gods Prophet becuase you are a fraud.
All your prophesies are false.

i think that's a bit strong, after all i was out today, sacrificing my time, my energies, in the rain, at my own personal cost trying to help others to understand the Bible. Yes indeed, am i not entitled to ask of what practical benefit is his visit, otherwise i am forced to conclude that it is a purely futile act and i would be better off going som ...[text shortened]... would learn something. Perhaps you can now answer the question which you have sought to evade?

Perhaps Catholics do not attend this for any personal benefit. Are you unable to understand that some people in this world do not act for private gains? Perhaps some Catholics go as a sign of solidarity, as a festive time to enjoy with other Catholics or as an act of witness to their faith. Perhaps they want to hear the Pope or perhaps they turn out as a si ...[text shortened]... te on the motivations of thousands of Catholics. You might as well ask why anyone does anything.

lol, he seems to be unable to differentiate between acting in a prophet like manner and being inspired to utter actual prophecies. He cannot handle the fact that, we have never claimed to be inspired prophets, the watchtower magazine has never claimed inspiration, for it then completely negates his whole argument and it becomes a lie, he thus is for ...[text shortened]...

but then again, to actually apply the words of Christ, well, that would take a Christian 🙂

(Matthew 7:15-20) . . .“Be on the watch for the false prophets that come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they? Likewise every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit; a good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, neither can a rotten tree produce fine fruit. Every tree not producing fine fruit gets cut down and thrown into the fire. Really, then, by their fruits you will recognize those men.

what is the fruitage of Christendoms churches? war and violence on an unprecedented scale, paedophilia on an unprecedented scale, greed and corruption on an unprecedented scale, the blessing of homosexual acts, meddling in politics, adoption of anti scriptural doctrines and beliefs etc etc etc. what did Christ state, a good tree cannot produce worthless fruit, leaving you and Christendom where? i think the prophecy speaks for itself.

let me add your personal one,

whoever says, ‘You despicable fool!’ will be liable to the fiery Gehenna

Its hilarous that you keep quoting a verse in which Christ condems false prophets and the JW Organisation is by far the biggest false prophets the world has ever seen. You are condemning youself. You are such a dunce.

as yet there seems no other practical reason as to why anyone should attend other than to show 'solidarity', 'to socialise', 'to see or hear the Pope', 'to exercise trust in him' etc etc all i must say are emotionally based and not really reasons at all. I think my first evaluation is correct in that its nothing more than the cult of personality and everyone would be as equally benefited if they went to see AC/DC.

From pictures and news segments I've seen all my life, I see many, many crying, wanting to kiss him or anything he's wearing or wanting to be blessed by him or fainting in the process or going to unbelievable expense and distances to be there.
Seems like a little more then just socializing with fellow Catholics.
To me it seems like the way most act w ...[text shortened]... from the way Jesus accepted his followers as I doubt he would have put up with that sillyness.

you can get to see him for twenty pounds, per person, which apparently includes some kind of package, maybe an indulgence here an indulgence there, who can tell. I plan to sneak in and witness to him, hoping to bring him to an accurate knowledge of truth, wish me luck 🙂
