Ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses-Critical Thinkers » Critical Thought Podcast
What do you do when an organization claims to have the truth—but its predictions keep failing? Do you keep trusting them, or do you start asking questions?
Jehovah’s Witnesses have a long history of failed predictions—Armageddon in 1914, then 1925, then 1975, then “the generation that will not pass.” But instead of admitting they were wrong; they just keep moving the goalposts. And now? Many Jehovah’s Witnesses justify it by saying, "Well, it was the closest thing to the truth.
But is close good enough? In Hidden Figures, astronaut John Glenn refused to launch until he had the exact number—because his life depended on it. Yet the Watchtower has convinced millions to quit their jobs, avoid college, and never save for retirement based on wrong calculations.
JT & Lady Cee break it all down in this explosive episode—showing why ‘almost true’ is still false when the stakes are high. If the numbers don’t add up, maybe it’s time to rethink who’s running the calculations.
