Why presuppose that just because there are infinite worldlines and infinite JTs that they all traveled back in time? Maybe only one did. Maybe the others did an infinite number of things on their own timelines. Why presuppose all JTs were time travelers? Maybe in one alternate reality a JT was simply a solider, another one, an electrical engineer, perhaps in one a teacher....ad infinitum. You know what I've always found fascinating is this (I need a pencil...I can't explain it in words) is that say there were 100 (we'll just cap it for this example) JTs and at birth there begins the one timeline....as each day passes and he grows, with every decision he makes, he creates an alternate timeline.....which goes on until he dies and in that timespan of creating thousands of JT who live a thousand different lives in a thousand different ways......at the point of death, they all converge back to a singularity. Much like the verse about it's not the destination that matters, but the journey. At any point, we can pull ourselves into a different alternate reality and become something quite different and our world changes to follow that line.....which we call "free will" but no matter how many alternate realities you experience, the end result "predestination" will always be the same.
Just some thoughts......

On the other hand, I have another thought in my head, but it's very hard for me to put into words. This is what makes me not believe in the Titor story. According to JT, there are infinite worldlines. So, there were an infinite amount of John Titors travelling back in time all to different worldlines than their own.
