    Phil I always enjoy your videos and appreciate the research that goes into them. Today, Thanksgiving Day, the news showed a church here in Washington State providing hundreds of meals for people in need. There were many tables filled with grateful people enjoying those wonderful meals. It would be good to see Jehovah’s Witnesses using their time and energy in providing help and assistance that would benefit people in a truly tangible way. Despite all the hours they claim to spend they are truly lacking in that regard.

      In a family of JWs I went to mom for help when my husband was laid off. We had 3 kids. We were in dire need of food. Mom sent me a set of tapes from Zig Ziglar titled ‘How to Raise Positive Kids in a Negative World’
      It’s a nice gift with a wonderful message, but, like my youngest sister said, it didn’t help feed the kids.
      Bc we were all JWs, I already had that literature. Mom was helping in the only way she’d been taught. I needed a change of attitude & we’ll be fine.

    The claim: 2.1 billion hours spent preaching.
    The reality: most of those hours consisted of coffee breaks, garage sales, personal errands, walking as slow as possible between doors, deliberately driving from one end of the territory to the other to do return visits and burn up as much time as possible, or were simply fudged on the monthly FS Report to avoid being labelled as a "low hour publisher".

My dad was in the military at the time, which is a big no no for the JWs. She said he could quit. Yeah, quit a successful 30+ year military career for a cult that doesn't celebrate birthdays.

    I believe the Society will morph into mainly a media outlet for videos and films, no depth of information just good feel content. The "Preaching" work will be just busy work like with the cart witnessing. On the other side, they see real estate and development as a major cash cow. Imagine properties built by volunteers then used briefly for "religious" services and then sold for record profits and all tax free.

      Apparently, you have no idea what demographics mean or what it takes to preach to 7 billion people. More people these days are getting to the point of not caring about God/ We can see this when we go door to door. You should know that JWs have been preaching for over 100years now. Jeremiah preached to Israel for 40 years until they were brutally conquered by Babylon. The preaching will stop, and the wild beast [ the worlds government entities] will put an end to religion referred to in the book of revelations as a harlot. The wild beast will eventually attack God's people. When that happens, the true God will step in and destroy all earthly kingdoms in what the bible calls Armagedón (Daniel 2:44) “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever,

    Here are 5 highlights from the video "The Spectacular Failure of Jehovah's Witnesses' Preaching Work":
    1. **The Peak of Preaching Work:** The video discusses how the year 2019 marked the peak of Jehovah's Witnesses' preaching work, with almost 2.1 billion hours reported.
    2. **The Decline of Preaching Work:** The video argues that the preaching work has been on a decline since the 1980s and 1990s, with a shift in focus from door-to-door preaching to other forms of service.
    3. **The Unreached Population:** The video highlights that a significant portion of the world's population, estimated to be around a third, has not been reached by Jehovah's Witnesses' preaching work.
    4. **The Paradox of Preaching:** The video points out the paradox that while Jehovah's Witnesses claim to be fulfilling Matthew 24:14, their actual efforts to reach the entire world are limited.
    5. **The Future of Preaching Work:** The video suggests that the preaching work is likely to continue declining, with a reduced emphasis on traditional door-to-door preaching.

    Matthew 5:11 "they will say every sort of lie against you," there is nothing that those who hate Jehovah's witnesses will not do or say. Jesus Christ said in the last days ridiculers will come, why would people even bother making videos against a group of people that they swear is a cult? These people refuse to live normal live but because hate has over come them Satan has noticed and misdirected their hatred against his religious enemies Jehovah's witnesses.
    Jehovah's witnesses expose Satan as the true leader and ruler of this world and who is really behind every disaster, war, disease and oppression and he has such a great hatred for us revealing the truth about him that he looks for hateful people to manipulate and become his apostate stalkers against his chief enemies Jehovah's witnesses.
    Why would they even care what Jehovah's witnesses are doing? It's because their hate, and failures in their life Satan has given them someone to blame, even Donald trump held up a watchtower and said it's people like these that are to blame for all the failures of our government.
    See Donald trumps a hateful person and it is very evident that Satan has the power to guide those filled with hate to ise their hate against a tiny religion out of Pennsylvania.
