i saw this thread on reddit.
i think the reason for this is that the 1975 fiasco is never mentioned in the jw religion.
nobody mentioned it to me when i came in the years after.. the problem with this is that all the sad stories were never told (or hushed up) of people who sold off homes, etc.
I remember a CO at a circuit meeting in the 90's, who stated "those of you who are complaining about not having a good job and income because of wrong choices in 1975, you did it your self! Don't blame the society!", he said.
When you think about it, he was right. We make our choices, good and wrong.
Don't blame others.

the latest video release 4/4/22 (lesson 44 'don't give up') in the comic series of caleb & sophia just got weirder.
the plot is about caleb & sophia preaching door to door, caleb with his father and sophia with her mother.
it shows each of them having doors slammed on them four times.
Just finish the block, my father said to me, when asking lets go home
Will never forget that.

how far do we get away from 1914 before they have a new light and admit it was all wrong?.
they cling to the old theory of the 77 week prophecy from the wrong date that jerusalem was destroyed .
with the overlapping generations nonsense still we are getting too far away from 1914. what will they say if we get to the 2030s and they still cling to 1914?.
Current JW's don't know anything about JW history and older doctrine.
1914 and other years are not relevant anymore.
It's all about the social aspect now.

may 2022 study watchtower page 6, par.
5 “satan instigated an attack on the anointed brothers who were taking the lead in the kingdom-preaching work.
prominent ones among them were the figurative “two witnesses” spoken of as being killed.”.
A now old, demented elder from my old congregation told me in 1995 that the anointed are the overlapping of the overlapping of the overlapping of the overlap.
He was a very self made smart JW, knowing all the doctrine and making the members of the hall scared with his doom and manipulation.
Maybe he smiles watching the evening news with all the Russia stuff.
