Charles Haze Russell- Example of Man's Failure to Comprehend

[Danmark]

This debate topic suggests that the Jehovah's Witnesses and their leader Charles Haze Russell, are emblematic of the failure of Christian doctrine to be coincident with truth.
Russell predicted the end times, calling it the 'End of the Harvest,' that it would happen in 1874.
Crompton, Robert (1996). Counting the Days to Armageddon. Cambridge: James Clarke & Co. pp. 21, 31.
This time came and went with no such event, and several revisions were made. Russell confessed this failure and wrote:
"Coming to the spring of 1878 ... we naturally and not unreasonably expected some change of our condition, and all were more or less disappointed when nothing supernatural occurred. But our disappointment was brief, for we noticed ... [whatever]."
Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence", Zion's Watch Tower, February 1881.
Other predictions were made and never came to pass, but this has not impacted the faithful.
I suggest this is but one example among many of false predictions that do not deter false beliefs because false beliefs rest on nonsense rather than fact.

That is interesting... I think "knowing" things can certainly arise certain problems within... Especially from non-all-knowing creatures...

Even knowing Christ, is somewhat profound, "For we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles"(1 Corinthians 1).

That is saying the cornerstone of Christianity, is a stumbling block and foolishness... It's also an unforgivable sin to carry Gods name in vain, says the 10 commandments...

Which i take basically meaning, to wage God's name, like for instance going around proclaiming Christ, shouldn't be taken lightly...
