They have predicted the end of the world in 1914, 1915, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, 1975, 1994.
Is there a new date to look for?

Sounds like a guess more than a prediction...
Only our Heavenly Father knows, my prediction is it could happen in the next 50 years.

The accusation is true in that they said that this "System of things would surely End" they will lead you down a rabbit hole over semantics if you use the wrong word such as "World". I was a Witness for 22 years They claim to speak for Jehovah and have blundered every date they have ever claimed that Armageddon would arrive by They are obvious false prophets and God says to pay them no mind ...."Dorothy: Pay NO ATTENTION TO THAT LITTLE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!"

During the past 130 years, Jehovah's Witnesses have performed a unique role in helping their neighbors to understand God's plan to replace human governments and restore an earthly paradise.
(Daniel 2:44) The God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. ...It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite
(Matthew 6:9-10) You must pray, then, this way: ˜Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth
(Psalm 37:10,11,29) And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more... But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth... The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it.
Jehovah's Witnesses have also taught for decades that the Bible is the only inspired communication from God today and that the Bible is the only infallible means of discerning the thoughts of the Almighty. Witnesses have never once claimed to be either infallible or divinely inspired. When they have mentioned guesses at dates, they have noted that the guesses were human and not divine.
The larger issue of God's Kingdom has always been of primary concern to modern Jehovah's Witnesses. The Kingdom preaching work today is not distracted by worries over long-past mistakes of Moses, King David, Apostle Peter, or other WItnesses who lived and died a hundred years ago.
Perhaps it should be noted that Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT trying to preach themselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord.
(2 Corinthians 4:4-6) For we are preaching, not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus' sake.
Jehovah's Witnesses remain unaware of any earthly group which is both infallible and also performing a global preaching campaign in obedience to Christ Jesus himself:
(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.
Jehovah's Witnesses feel as did Peter:
(John 6:68) Peter answered him: "Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life
Read for yourself the clarity and wisdom in the publications of Jehovah's Witnesses:

They kind of dropped the date stuff, even the part where 1914 was the beginning of the "end times".
Used to be a JW, am now a happy Atheist.

they arent the only ones. Christian sects of all kinds of had various predictions through the years. All of the fun people that try in say the bible is written about today are essentially saying the same thing.

Yeah but it will be like buses.
You wait a long time for one to turn up and two turn up together.
So it will probably be Tuesday and Wednesday next week just after teatime. If you miss the bus you will have to wait for the next one.
