Do you believe in prophecies? Why?

Yes, this is what keep me close to Jehovah God Because all the prophecies He has spoke about have come true and when He talk about the end of this system of thing come to and end all the thing are happen now. Please read

2 Timothy 3: 1-7  But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. 6 From among these arise men who slyly work their way into households and captivate weak women loaded down with sins, led by various desires, 7 always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth.

this is what you see in the world today and it was already told by God century ago.

How God Conveys Truth

Actually, God conveys his messages in a way that allows sincere seekers of truth to search them out. (Psalm 14:2) Consider the message that God delivered through his prophet Jeremiah centuries ago. It was given to God’s wayward people regarding the coming destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians.—Jeremiah 25:8-11; 52:12-14.

Yet, at the same time, other prophets claimed to speak for God. Hananiah foretold peace for Jerusalem. That was a very different message from the one that Jeremiah delivered. So whom was a person at that time to believe—Jeremiah or those who contradicted him?—Jeremiah 23:16, 17; 28:1, 2, 10-17.

To know who was right, sincere Jews needed to know Jehovah as a person. They needed to understand his laws and principles, as well as his attitude toward wrongdoing. Doing so, they would have agreed with God’s words spoken through Jeremiah that “there was not a man repenting over his badness.” (Jeremiah 8:5-7) Furthermore, they would have discerned that this sad situation did not bode well for Jerusalem and its inhabitants.—Deuteronomy 28:15-68; Jeremiah 52:4-14.

Jeremiah’s prophecies about Jerusalem came true. The city was razed by the Babylonians in 607 B.C.E.

Although the consequences of disobedience were foretold long in advance, effort was needed to recognize that the time had arrived for God to take action.

What About Christian Truth?

What of the truth proclaimed by Jesus Christ? Did everyone recognize it as a message from God? No. Even though Jesus was right there in the midst of the people of Israel teaching them and performing miracles, most of his listeners did not discern that he was the foretold Messiah—the Christ, or Anointed One.

To the Pharisees who asked when God’s Kingdom was coming, Jesus himself said: “The kingdom of God is not coming with striking observableness.” He added: “The kingdom of God is in your midst.” (Luke 17:20, 21) God’s appointed Ruler, Jesus, was among them! But those Pharisees refused to open their eyes to the evidence that he was fulfilling the Messianic prophecies and to accept him as “the Christ, the Son of the living God.”—Matthew 16:16.

The response to the truth proclaimed by Christ’s first-century disciples was similar. While miracles helped to demonstrate that God was supporting the disciples, the truth was still not plain to most. (Acts 8:1-8; 9:32-41) Jesus commissioned his followers to “make disciples of people” by teaching them. As a result of listening and learning Scriptural truths, sincere seekers of truth became believers.—Matthew 28:19; Acts 5:42; 17:2-4, 32-34.

It is the same today. The “good news of the kingdom” is being “preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations.” (Matthew 24:14) This is not necessarily being done “with striking observableness”—in so obvious a way that every individual on earth will recognize it as a message from God. Yet, God’s truth is recognizable and strikes a responsive chord in honest hearted individuals who want to worship God in the way approved by him.—John 10:4, 27.

True prophecies, yes, because they have come true.

They are convenient and make you feel good inside. A lot like a really good fart or peeing your pants.

Nope. Because 'prophecies' are just made up nonsense in the guise of religion

The Bible is well known for fulfilled prophecies. This is one of the reasons millions earth-wide have come to believe the Bible to be God's Word. Jesus said: "Your word is truth." John 17:17 There is no other book in the world that can even compare with the Bible. Along with prophecies being fulfilled. the Bible is correct when it refers to science. Why would that be? Jehovah alone is the master of science. He has even inspired men, who knew nothing about the shape of the earth or its position in the universe, to state scientific facts about it. For instance: Isaiah 40:22 says: "There is One who dwells above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers." See also Job 26:7 "He stretches out the northern sky over empty space, Suspending the earth upon nothing." Who but God could have inspired these words to be written nearly 3,000 years ago. There were certainly no space ships back then. Every prophecy concerning Jesus birth and death came true in every detail. These are reasons millions are looking into the Scriptures, even for answers to their personal questions.

Yes. I believe, also, that prophecies and prophets can be false. I am especially sensitive to the opportunistic interpretation of vaguely worded predictions being used to establish the reliability of a prophet or a visionary's apparition.

Yes, I do

Yes. Because they come true. And not only biblical prophecies. Crazy Horse prophesied that he would one day return in stone, and he is returning in stone. He also prophesied that a black snake would one day cross the land and poison the water as it goes. Now, his people are threatened by an oil pipeline in North Dakota. And there are the prophecies of Nostradamus to consider.

I dont accept that any prophecies have been confirmedly fulfilled other than by purpose of the human hand.

No. Because they either don't come true or are so incredibly vague or easy as to allow pretty much ANYTHING to fulfill them.
