I think people are waiting for them to finally change this teaching. Just 'let it go' as princess Elsa says.
Ohmygosh that's another leaving the witnesses song....
anyway, yes. Witnesses loved the 1914 thing in 2014, when they thought it was a VERY special year, and something was going to happen. But now it's 2015 and a half, and they are probably embarrassed by it. I mean they have to wait another 99 years to get excited about it again.
When they finally drop it (and it will be huge, because they've based their entire religion on it), witnesses will rejoice. The religion will still be all about Armageddon of course, but they can stop thinking about the embarrassing past and look forward.
