According to the J.W org. it was Jesus that did that. There are two problems at least with this totally insane teaching. One is of the date, the other of simple Logic.
As to the time when Jesus is supposed to have done this, it is based upon the orgs. 1914 teaching, which has been totally discredited and debunked from all angles. It really is absolutely wacky.
Hence the choosing by Jesus could NOT have happened.
The second reason, based on logic , was pointed out by Ry Franz in one of his Books that he wrote in the early 1980's. He said, and this is from memory so not word for word , remarking on the part of the orgs. claim that the Rutherford Bible Students of the day were approved because of the "Bible Truth" they were teaching at the time :
" To claim that Jesus chose that group at that time, based upon what they were then teaching, is an Insult to Jesus".
Just a cursory look at what they were teaching then shows you how true that is ! What they taught as "truth" then has all been rejected by THEM since ! Would Jesus select a group teaching lies as "truth" ?.
The problem the org. has is, if Jesus did not then, or ever , choose them , then the Governing Body are :
SELF APPOINTED CHARLATANS !!

Ask JW's: "Who told you that Christ selected the WTBTS as "God's organisation" - the Bible or JW literature?
w16 March p. 29 par. 2 - Then, in 1919, Jesus appointed “the faithful and discreet slave” (aka the WTBTS of Pennsylvania) over God’s cleansed people (aka the Bible Students) to give them spiritual “food at the proper time.”
Doesn't every Christian denomination believe/claim that they are God's chosen people?
To quote a famous U.K. prostitute, "They would say that, wouldn't they?"

I asked my mom this same question, trying to get her to think. She pretended not to understand the question. Maybe that’s a good question to ask the cart people.

Well, It's not that Jesus chose them, but that they pursued the truth and doing the will of his Father.
Then Jesus blessed them because they did that.

Why do people keep talking about 1919? The only thing that happened in 1919 was that big assembly in cedar point. Advertise, advertise advertise the king and his kingdom.
That set the preaching work.
Jesus chose them because of that. He didn't judge based on correct doctrine on everything or whether they celebrated Christmas at that time. He knew they would fix what was wrong.
