Why is it that most prophets and prophetess end up alone or have marriage problems? Take my mom for example, she's a MIGHTY woman of God AND she's a prophetess. She is getting a divorce. A friend of my mom is a prophetess, she is alone and can't find a good man.

Smeagol, you took the words right out of my mouth.
Frankly, I think people like that drive anyone away, not just their mates.
Why do they always claim to be prophets? And if the y truly are prophets, why have we never heard of them? I think that if they would go around predicting floods, war, famine and ranom killings (by God), and all of it "came to pass", the media would have a field day with them.
Dear ~I'm Blessed~,
Well, actually, I wouldn't say you were blessed. Psychotic, yes, but not blessed.
They need to look for Wall Street traders, entrepreneurs, that sort of thing -- someone who values profits over everything else.
Oh, wait. Prophetess? In that case, have them try to hook up with psychiatrists.

C'mon, Sweety, do the math. Insane persons are unlikely to attract people who are sane, stable and capable of a long-term relationship.
Just so we all know, the correct verb is "prophesy," pronounced with a long "I". You prophesy a prophecy (prounounced with a long "e" sound).
With that out of the way, I'd like to ask: How the **** are there so many prophets in the same social circle, let alone city or state? You'd think the world was crawling with prophets. Perhaps they form clubs and societies. "The North American Prophet Club: Northern California Chapter. Attendance - 3000 last count." I mean, wow.
My best friend is a prophet. He really can predict the future. I'm afraid that I can't prove it, though.
You see, my friend can see any event before it happens. Since he can see an event before it happens, that event must be a foregone conclusion. Since he can see any event ahead of time, all events are foregone conclusions. Therefore, free will is an illusion. As such, I can't prove that my friend is a prophet; I can only do what it has already been determined that I would do. Without free will, I can't post proof.
Well, actually I don't have a friend who can see the future. Phew. I wonder how many people there are like tildaI'm Blessedtilda, and I wonder how many of them consider the implications of being able to see the future.
You know, it might have something to do with her being raving batshit, and no sane man wanting to be tied down for the remainder of his natural days to someone who believes sexual contact is sinful, that an invisible man whispers in her ear at all times, and is a raging fundamentalist killjoy. Just a thought.
A friend of my mom is a prophetess, she is alone and can't find a good man.
Well, y'know, constant proselytizing and babbling irrational nonsense isn't quite what people in general view as seducing and attractive ...
Perhaps your mom's friend should start being interested in real men , and stop being occupied by this unreachable guy in the sky? It would make finding a good man much, much easier.
Uh, because your Mommy and her friend are completely full of shit and deluded in all normal functions of day to day life?
All who claim such powers are habitual liars and will not own up to their failed predictions, I suspect any doubt of their abilities led to hysterical screaming tantrums.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
