Matthew 24:14 And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

In 1968, Jehovah’s Witnesses published a little blue book, The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life.
Inside the book, a controversial claim was made about the year 1975.
Specifically, it was stated 1975 would be “The end of 6,000 years of man’s existence on Earth.” _________
For the next 8 years, Jehovah’s Witnesses distributed 65 million of those books worldwide (for a contribution of .25 cents. (That’s about 16 million $$ dollars worth.) https://news.google.com/newspapersnid=1346&dat=19741218&id=caROAAAAIBAJ&sjid=0PoDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7210,5306041

HOW MANY people were actually warned about this phony boondoggle event?
For those 8 years of “warning” about the impending doom involving worldwide famine and overpopulation, the best Jehovah's Witnesses could do was sell 65 million books, with millions of people yet to be born even while the parents of those babies still were reading them!
18,144,000 babies were born while Jehovah's Witnesses were "warning" about 1975.
WE NEED TO ASK a logical question at this point. Since the majority of Earth’s population weren’t reached:
HOW EFFECTIVE was this ‘warning’?
__________
Let’s create a “best case” scenario just for the sake of a thought experiment, shall we?
Currently, we’ll say there are 8 million JW’s worldwide, each spending 10 hours a month.
The current population of Earth is 7 BILLION!
How effective can Jehovah’s Witnesses be failing to reach the other 6 Billion each month?
But wait--there’s more!
Women are pregnant all over the world. Every day women are getting pregnant and giving birth.
There are 9 months worth of babies on the way at any moment in time, or (5,013,000 pending).
Each day = 216,000 babies born
Each month = 657,000 babies born
WHAT’s WRONG with this PICTURE?
_____________
The obvious conclusion is this: it is mathematically impossible to fulfill Matthew 24: 14 If God truly was using Jehovah’s Witnesses!

Note: The little blue book, when reprinted, no longer contained doomsday predictions! Why? Not only was 1975 not the year of worldwide famine and overpopulation, it wasn’t marked by the commencement of the 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ! All those man hours were spent on FALSE PROPHECY!
The entire 8 years spent by every member of Jehovah’s Witnesses contacting as many people and baptizing them as quickly as possible was ALL FOR NOTHING unless you count the $16 million dollars made off the contributions for the books or the increase in membership under false pretenses. Honestly, this was all an enormous waste of everybody’s time, energy, and efforts.
_________
Who set this worthless activity into motion? Where else could such an embarrassing historical failure be rewarded like this? It was the leadership of Jehovah’s Witnesses under Nathan H. Knorr and Fred Franz. Subsequently, Knorr died and Franz was promoted to the Presidency of the Watchtower Organization.
If you ask any member of Jehovah’s Witnesses today about these events they’ll give you a blank stare and shrug it off as mere propaganda created by former members lying and exaggerating.
But, we know who the real liars are and how feckless their activities are, don’t we?
