  1) WT teaches that Jesus became king in 33 C.E. over the Christian congregation and

  Matt 28:18 And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. 19 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. NWT

  2) then in a new way in 1914 over a cleansed heaven (1878 old light).

  Jesus was granted still more authority in 1914. In that year he was appointed as King of Jehovah’s Messianic Kingdom.” WT Library 2009, All Publications, Books, “My Followers” (cf) 2007, chap. 18 p.185, para. 8

  3,4) Maybe there is 3rd way, over a cleansed earth after Armageddon; and then completely at the end of the 1,000 year reign with the final destruction of Satan, the demons, and the rebels on earth.

  Lots of wiggle room for the WTS

  This doesn't surprise me. They have been removing Jesus more and more from their literature and giving more credence to the Governing Body. Now it seems the Governing Body decides on who gains eternal life and stealing the spotlight from Jehovah and Jesus.

  Dangerous game they play.

  My first thought was that I knew they would change what or who the F&DS is because that "slave" is already said to be non-exisitant in the court in Victoria regarding the Child protection laws there. Soon, the GB will be said to be "invisible" too. Collective asses are to be covered! :-)

  Nothing new here to my recollection either. Blah, blah, blah.

  Just a question, in two parts, to those still going to the K Hall, who do you worship ? does the God you worship mind if you worship other God's ?

  This is just more of the same thin edge of the wedge to distance them from their extravagant claims about 1914.

  The quotes about Jesus not being on the throne apply to JUDGEMENT; they have not yet said Jesus did not begin ruling from heaven in 1914. However, that means that we have the specter of Jesus ruling, but not sitting on a throne. Or, like Blondie said, Jesus has 2 or more thrones, one for judging, one for ruling and one for, what?

  They got themselves into this jam when they said we are not in a judgement period like we thought and taught for decades; that is yet future.

  So Jeus does not sit on a throne of JUDGEMENT yet, get it?

  I want to hear them say if Jesus assumed power in heaven in 1914.

  As for 'new light' coming this way and not in print, it makes perfect sense for lawyers and the WT's imitation scholars; no paper trail and if it doesn't fly, they can abandon it as the ravings of rogue CO's.

  As some brought out the judgement seat on another throne. Maybe the CO was referring to a symbolic position not an actual throne because how many thrones can there be? He goes to judge so that's another throne? He goes to a spiritual bathroom so he sits on another throne where the shit rolls downhill and hits GB with some new BS ideas. He goes to eat a meal and sits on another throne - in spiritual sense of course..........

  So while the CO may have talked about JC taking a position of judgement during Armageddon he wasn't nullifying the idea that JC took rule in 1914 as God's king.

  the further emphasis on the governing body is what they have been pushing for a while, so i expect it to get even more blatant.
