The vibe was definitely off at this year’s Jehovah’s Witness Memorial — and people are talking.

In this powerful breakdown from EXJW Critical Thinker, JT walks you through the subtle — and not-so-subtle — shifts that made the 2025 Memorial unlike any we’ve seen before. From the sudden flood of phone calls to disfellowshipped members, to awkward in-person moments and emotionally charged invitations, it’s clear something has changed.

What we cover:

Watchtower's response to legal pressure over shunning

New freedom to contact “removed” members… but at what cost?

PIMOs showing up just to avoid family drama

The strange shift from reverent to performative

And yes… people using the emblems like photo booth props

This isn’t just another Memorial recap — it’s a real look at how control, image, and numbers still run the show.
