For me, The last Armageddon prediction was March 2020 "we're living in the final part of last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days, shortly before the last day of the last days" ( Stephen Lett ) You know what went through my mind when I heard that? ( so we have about 12 months then? ) I was already doubting the Organisation for the entirety of 2019 so that GB update was the final straw and I was fully Awake
What's really funny is that Lett's 'Last Days' speech was a re-use of an older talk. There's a video on YT that shows both speeches next to each other.
Good job, men!! This should be translated to other languages like Spanish, German, French and Italian to get more people aware about these facts. Well done, Caleb!
im italian and i understand everything very well with subtitles and also without. young italian people, not all of Them, but a Great percentage, know english well. i have B2 certificate, but for listening is like a C2 due to the fact that i ve been reading and listening to video in english every day since 2018, i graduated from high school in 2019 and i was born in 1999. for older people it's different, the more elder the less they know english. my grandparents only had the elementary school expect for my dad's dad who had the middle school.

I am talking to Jehovah's witnesses and now they are saying a generation is 120 years , and they likened to the times of Noah . All i can say is WOW . But i do feel sorry for them
2034 then? Then what? 120 years - back then - proberbly was a generation because they were supposed to live to 900 instead of 70. ( that's me living on borrowed time then 🤫)
no, they changed the script now by claiming "it's not *literally* one generation but a generation that overlaps with the original generation of 1914". But this way, you can stretch it indefinitely
@@der1222 An "overlapping generation" is a *second* generation. JWs aren't bright enough to figure out that Jesus never mentioned a second generation. But, the only way to explain absurdities is with more absurdities.
@adamantiumbullet9215 exactly, this "overlapping" generation didn't experience 1914, full stop. But since the last anointed guy who was born in 1914 died in 1992, they can now reset the counter to that latter year. I don't think it's a matter of not being bright enough, but a case of "the Bible and the crucial JW tenets are always right, so we have to stretch the meaning of words to such a degree they eventually lose all meaning, but at least help us cope". If I remember correctly, these prophecies about Great Tribulation didn't even refer to post 21st century events initially, but the destruction of Israel by the Romans in 70 AD. It's only because of a verse in Revelations that mentions it in combination with the Last Days that they milk the "Great Tribulation is about to happen" narrative because Revelations was written after 70 AD.
Let me quote the New World "Translation": "‘If any prophet presumptuously speaks a word in my name that I did not command him to speak or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die. However, you may say in your heart: “How will we know that Jehovah has not spoken the word?” When the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word is not fulfilled or does not come true, then Jehovah did not speak that word. The prophet spoke it presumptuously. You should not fear him." (Deuteronomy 18:20).
Do you understand what God's word the bible teaches to apply gaslighting to the JW organization? All their literature are bible based teaching aids. You can tell by all the scriptures quoted.

Proper citing of your sources helps your fellow creators, is fair academic practice, and helps you defend against potential plagiarism claims. Otherwise, focusing on the failed predictions of the JWs throughout the years as a way to establish a timeline of the cult was a FANTASTIC perspective!

Oh, you don't know? Check on your JW LIBRARY APP on your phone now, watchtower Aug 15, 1986 topic : why are you looking forward to 1975. Please check it now. The problem is, witnesses don't want to read their own materials that prove that Governing Body lies.
The voice you used to differentiate your words from the cult leaders was VERY reminiscent of Jake from AltWorldly 😂😂 I had to do a rewind to see if I had missed him doing a cameo
Did those false prophets of the Watchtower Society forget that it is better to remain silent and be thought of as fools than to open their mouths and remove any and all doubt? Apparently, they were impetuous enough to try to predict when the world would end, even though Jesus Christ expressly said that no man knows the time of the end. No, not angels, nor even the Son of man knows. Only the Father knows when the end will come. Thank you for exposing the false prophecies of the Watchtower Society.
The world went off the gold standard in 1971. In 1974 the petrodollar system was signed and implemented in 1975 making the entire world's money system FIAT for the first time ever. The petrodollars agreement between USA and Saudi Arabia was not renewed on June 9 2024
I think the Watchtower Society has learned their lesson about predicting dates, predicting the end and then having it fail again would be too humiliating for them.
WT has never been humiliated by anything. They just pretend things never happened and, poof! Like magic, it's erased from their memory. _"We are not embarrassed about adjustments that have been made, nor is an apology needed."_ -Jeffrey Winder
Nice job. You forgot the kingdom ministry 1974 (I forget the month. Maybe May) where the ORG actually commended the brothers for selling their homes in order to focus on 1975
You have a good memory. "Yes, the end of this system is so very near! Is that not reason to increase our activity?...Reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world's end." (Kingdom Ministry, May 1974, p. 3)
I believe the old literature said all these things but it’s so hard to get hands on actual printed material, because I know if I show this to my parents they will say oh someone falsified the online version and it’s false. Has anyone been able to get the actual paper sources??? 😊
The year 1874 needed to be added. Russell had also predicted that Jesus would come in that year. You can see the book The Thousand Year Kingdom of God Has Come. also the book The Truth Will Set You Free and The Watchtower of February 1881.
59:41 if JWs predict the end of the world again with a set date, it'll be as laughably embarrassing as robert fitzpatrick's prediction. unlike the 1900's where rebuttals to the cult were sparse, today were just 1 google search away from disproving JW theology
The guy at the intro...it's funny how he sounds exactly like JWs do when they try to do Bible "Mathz" smh wow It's amazing how JWs have been lying and gaslighting from the beginning with Russell. Wow. They're so good with historical revisionism. This is a well researched video. Great job 😊😊
The Mormons predicted it in the 1830s, around 1890, and around the year 2000. Other groups have also predicted it numerous times. While it's easy to document the JWs predictions and they seem to have a record, many other groups fall into this category as well. It's one of the most effective methods to recruit members.
@@ExJWCaleb You win. Most groups seem to have only 2-4 end of times predictions. At that point they generally tend to have either a mass suicide event, lose followers, or go more mainstream. Nevertheless, the general tactic is pretty common in new religions and in religions that are undergoing a crisis. I don't envy what you've had to go through. Leaving mormonism was hard enough and the JWs seem to have taken everything to the next level.
After all of this, one kinda has to respect that early JW grift, not to mention they had left a sizable print in the world of early film. I'd just roll with it too if I realized I had that many continuously duped suckers to bleed dry to fund my Rolls Royce fetish. The dead and gone JW's should know better, the newer generation (which they are all now classing as the same big generation with the older gen, thus preparing for MORE generations of waiting) were born into it. So I give them a bit more leeway vs. the old school ones that were around since Day 1 and were around for aaallll those failed prediction dates. If you're still around after that, you deserve getting your wool bagged all the way too the bank. I just feel bad for the kids.
Holy crap I remember seeing those 2011 prediction billboards all over my city and being anxious about it. I was in middle school and I would get sick to my stomach thinking about it despite thinking it was ridiculous at the time, just that "what if" (I've had OCD from a young age and it had been especially bad with religious topics and apocalyptic scenarios back then) and I never knew who was actually responsible for it. I remember being so afraid to go to bed the day before, looking back it feels so stupid but man I was a kid seeing a bunch of big scary signs. Fuck that guy and everyone who fearmongers end times.
Here’s something crazy. I was raised a witness from age 6 in 1991… under the end comes by end of century thinking… then once it focused on the Eve’s creations date or rather how many years did Adam go single… we began to reason that Jesus started preaching at 30 and died at 33. So since that equaled a faithful life course by Jesus perhaps it mirrored the number of years Adam lived perfect and single thusly eve would have been given to Adam when Adam was 30 or 33…. That put the 1975 plus 30 or 33 to the years 2005 through 2008… i got baptized under that thinking in 2002 after 9/11 happened lol. I was mentally sure that the end was between 2005 and 2008… wow! That was some crazy stress i remember having, because this thinking or light was almost a quiet whisper that was going around as a secret so that the “society” as it was called then, would not have to publish a verifiable date. They transitioned to rumor mills! lol lol lol. My life was ruined by a successful rumor campaign! WILD!!! And you’re right the numbers will now drop with no scary death date over the heads of people. It’s so funny that all witness thinking of all this as “new light” cant reason that god would at the very least had told the “slave” NEW RULE to STOP PUBLISHING ANY DATE! But noooo he let them constantly do so. His loyal slave… ever loyal… thats the definition of being punked over and over again.
Wow, that Eve creation calculation is a new one on me. But you’re definitely right about “The Society” resorting to the rumor mill 🤣 I recall there was much speculation and expectation about 2014 possibly being of great significance, and then a lot of hype during the pandemic. It just goes on and on .
Nobody debunks Watchtower better than Watchtower itself.

I remember being so afraid to go to bed the day before, looking back it feels so stupid but man I was a kid seeing a bunch of big scary signs. Fuck that guy and everyone who fearmongers end times.
Your mexican transatlantic accent is hilarious!
Here’s something crazy. I was raised a witness from age 6 in 1991… under the end comes by end of century thinking… then once it focused on the Eve’s creations date or rather how many years did Adam go single… we began to reason that Jesus started preaching at 30 and died at 33. So since that equaled a faithful life course by Jesus perhaps it mirrored the number of years Adam lived perfect and single thusly eve would have been given to Adam when Adam was 30 or 33…. That put the 1975 plus 30 or 33 to the years 2005 through 2008… i got baptized under that thinking in 2002 after 9/11 happened lol. I was mentally sure that the end was between 2005 and 2008… wow! That was some crazy stress i remember having, because this thinking or light was almost a quiet whisper that was going around as a secret so that the “society” as it was called then, would not have to publish a verifiable date. They transitioned to rumor mills! lol lol lol. My life was ruined by a successful rumor campaign! WILD!!!
And you’re right the numbers will now drop with no scary death date over the heads of people. It’s so funny that all witness thinking of all this as “new light” cant reason that god would at the very least had told the “slave” NEW RULE to STOP PUBLISHING ANY DATE! But noooo he let them constantly do so. His loyal slave… ever loyal… thats the definition of being punked over and over again.
Wow, that Eve creation calculation is a new one on me. But you’re definitely right about “The Society” resorting to the rumor mill 🤣 I recall there was much speculation and expectation about 2014 possibly being of great significance, and then a lot of hype during the pandemic. It just goes on and on .
Every religion has had false predictions. So what does that mean.
If there is a book thats have this info ?
does the Bible actually command false prophets to be killed?
I'm fairly certain in the old testament yes but new testament no.
I could be wrong tho.
There were end of world predictions BEFORE 1914?!
Good god!
Surely this is ALL propaganda!
