That doesn't give a reason for you believing it a ghost?
God's grace and lovingkindness are things of reality to be drunk and savored into one's soul.... All you have to do is open the door!
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. - Revelation 3:20
I would be very careful on my references to the Holy Ghost... And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.- Matthew 12:32
A little research on the Jehovahs Witnesses and their failed prophecies/changed teaching over the years reveals the following:
They ARE false prophets.
The Millennium began in 1873. (Thy Kingdom Come, page 305)
The Millennium began in 1874. (Finished Mystery, page 386)
The resurrection would occur in 1878 (Thy Kingdom Come, page 234)
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old would return in 1925. (Millions Now Living Will Never Die, page 89)
The Book of Ruth is "not prophetical". (Watchtower Reprints IV, p.3110, 12/7/02)
The Book of Ruth "is prophetic". (Preservation", p. 169, 175, 176.)
Will the men of Sodom be resurrected?
Yes....Watchtower 7/1879 page 8
No.....Watchtower 6/1/52 page 338
Yes....Watchtower 8/1/65, page 479
No.....Watchtower 6/1/88, page 31
Yes...Live Forever (old Ed.) page 179
No....Live Forever (new Ed.) page 179
Yes...Insight, vol. 2., page 985
No...Revelation book, page 273.
6,000 years from Adam ended in A.D. 1872. (Daily Heavenly Manna, inside cover page),6,000 years of human history ended in 1873.(The Time is at Hand, p.33),6,000 years of human history ended in 1972.(The Truth Shall Make You Free, p.152, 1943 edition),6,000 years of human history ended in 1975. (Awake!, October 8th, 1968, page 15).
BTW, I remember my next door neighbors leaving the JW'S in 1975 when the 6,000 years prophecy failed yet again.

While I believe that our new JW member will insist that understanding of God's Word can evolve, but I think he/she may struggle with questions about why past understandings were incorrect or how new ones are justified. Probably put forth some kind of 'progressive revelation' defense like the Mormons.

Why do you think THAT is- why not the other 2 Gods?

Who hasn't made false guesses on the prophecies? What me to look up Baptist ones?

False Prophets are the ones MAKING UP their own prophecies- not people pondering God's.
