I'm only sharing this because I think it's interesting to see the parallels. It's not just the Q crowd that believed something would happen that didn't come true. A lot of Christian "prophets" predicted with 100% certainty that Trump would be reelected. Like, almost all of them did.
It's been interesting to see how they've reacted to the election results and the inauguration since then. I'm not condemning or condoning anything in this video whatsoever. I think it's at least an interesting case study to see how others react when they've gotten things wrong. May be something in there we can all learn from.
Not really suggesting it has positive connotations. What's interesting is the "prophets" are saving face in a number of different ways:
-Claiming what they said was misrepresented
-Doubling Down on being right, but pushing the date back and back and back and back endlessly
-Flat out denying they said what they are on video recorded as saying
-Providing some convenient explanation for why things didn't happen like "we didn't pray enough."
You may not be one of the people here who predicted for a fact that Biden wouldn't be inaugurated, but a lot of people in this site absolutely made predictions like it with ridiculous confidence. What people who bought into those predictions should do is recognize the common things people who are wrong tend to do to convince themselves and others that they weren't wrong.
For instance, tons of end of the world cults that predict the end of the world on a certain date, and it doesn't come to pass end up keeping a lot of their followers even after the failed predictions. Why? Because they give their followers a bunch of bullshit to keep them from bailing on the cult. So it's useful to highlight these things so that people in this website don't fall for the same bullshit tactics (the obvious one being moving the goalposts endlessly, so that no matter what happens, there's never a point in which anyone here can admit they were wrong). At some point, if you're confident in the truth of your beliefs, you should be able to make solid predictions and predictions that could in principle falsify those beliefs if they don't come to pass.

Correct. I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with here. I don't get to decide shit in the world. I don't claim to.
These "prophets" claimed to know though. And the Bible is clear about what we should do with false prophets.
