We actually received a visit at our door from two young JWs (both of whom we know the families quite well) inviting us to the Memorial and giving my wife the tract. My wife actually felt they were canvasing our neighborhood (vs calling specifically on us) so D2D is still alive here, if that is the case.

WT June 2025: We Are Not Blind We Just Don't Know
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/7xumqjq3zfc?si=ivcg96t4dtgze4ft.
so this is from the brand new watchtower study edition of june 2025 which has just been posted on jw.org .under the title: modestly accept what you do not know, a let’s read paragraphs in question 4 &5: “read matthew 24:36. we do not know when the end of this system of things will come.
even jesus, while on earth, did not know the ‘day and hour.’ he later told the apostles that jehovah, who is the great timekeeper, keeps the timing of certain events ‘in his own jurisdiction,’ or authority.

It's about time they admitted it.
But did they really have any option? Hasn't everyone figured out by now that they have no frigging idea?

1/2 of the Jehovah’s witnesses have gone
by hoser inthere are 1/2 of the jehovah’s witnesses that there were 30 years ago in my area.
some have left but i think that many have died and none of their kids stayed being jehovah’s witnesses.
7 congregations have been dissolved over the years.

That 1/2 of JWs are gone does not surprise me.
The fact that 1/2 are still there is what amazes me!

Strange, Interesting Day
by HereIam60 ini have worked for over 25 years now in a day habilitation program for persons with physical and mental diabilities.
in recent years this has often involved assisting them in doing community volunteer work, as in our state, persons receiving services are required to have a 'job' of some sort.
as a result, we have worked in catholic and salvation army food pantries, animal shelters, libraries, a nature center, a vietnam war veterans museum and delivered meals on wheels.

anything is acceptable, but make your meme your own, hand written scrawls on microsoft paint are just as funny so don't worry about quality.

Did Watchtower Really Teach That Armageddon Was Coming in 1954?
by Jerome56 inin the march 2025 jw broadcast david splane in his morning worship talk mentioned that "some thought" that armageddon would come 40 years after 1914. such statements are usually meant to shift the blame of their own false predictions on to their members for speculating.
however, i was unable to find anything in print showing that such a thing was indeed taught by the society.
was this really a thing?.

1941 was the release of the book "Children" at the convention in St Louis. The book has the scripted conversation which explains that youth of that day would never be able to marry or have children in the limited time remaining in this system of things. (However I know of no specific mention of 1954.)
