Yes, it’s a general feature though I’ve rarely come across evangelical groups that go as far as to make public proclamations of their predictions like Jehovah’s witnesses did (some do, no doubt)
Amusingly it seems the JWs might have only survived because around 1886 it accidentally predicted 1914 would be the end of the world and the beginning of the favouring of the Jews (WWI and II culminated in the re-founding of Israel)
