The Watchtower, “'They Shall Know that a Prophet Was Among Them'”

1 April 1972 · p.197 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“So, does Jehovah have a prophet to help them, to warn them of dangers and to declare things to come? These questions can be answered in the affirmative. ... This 'prophet' was not one man, but was a body of men and women. ... Today they are known as Jehovah's Christian witnesses.”

The article says the only way to prove the claim 'is to review the record'.
