Right, and no outside neutral third parties can corroborate who/what "Jesus selected"
The only people concluding that Jesus selected the governing body of an US corporation are the governing body of said US corporation.
The appointed themselves knowing Jesus would, as always, remain silent.
Its a big circle jerk sham.

Hey Jeffro, regarding their 1919 teaching of "The ‘Jews to be restored to their homeland’ is literal' is something they got right
They didn’t ‘get it right’ due to any special knowledge, nor due to anything magical about the Jews or the source material. Jews and Christians both had a vested interested in working towards ‘restoring the Jews to their homeland’, which is therefore unremarkable. Ascribing anything special to the Bible Student belief is an example of confirmation bias.
Jeffro, nothing in my post ascribed anything special about the Bible Student belief that the Jews would be restored to their homeland. I thus was not manifesting confirmation bias. I merely made a correct statement. Perhaps you are the one who manifested confirmation bias when you incorrectly implied that I had manifested confirmation bias. It appears that you read into post more than what I stated in my post.
I am well aware that a number of people were working to get the Jews restored to their home land.
Maybe I just selectively listen but I always find that every meeting basically revolves around the superiority of the WTS and some batshit crazy unique dogma or legalism.
The 1914 thing has always been some crazy self annoited nonsense.

-How do you know ?
- I have a trophy
-Who bought you that trophy ?
-Well, I did because I am the world best guitar player.

Ho hum... 🙄 I also made correct statements. I did not say that you had necessarily ascribed anything special, but I correctly pointed out that to do so would be fallacious.
Bible Students... = B.S.
