I used to blindly accept this bs as well. They claim that they were selected based on:

Rutherford & corporation officers were freed from prison

Preaching work supposedly took off from there

Growth

Really shallow reasons if you ask me. Nothing visible to prove that they were the chosen ones. They didn't adopt the whole JW thing until the 1930s, the preaching work really didn't kick into high gear until the late 40s/50s (credit Knorr's marketing for that), and Rutherford and the corporation officers first few activities after being released from prison were to interpret their poorly attended conventions in the early 1920s to being "seven trumpet blasts" from Revelation.
