pages 1766-1767 of the 2013 nwt states that the message of the bible is gods right to rule.. given that the wts declares that gods kingdom rule began in 1914, one would suspect that this would feature.
instead, there is a vague reference to something that supposedly happened about 1914.. here's the picture:.

The "about 1914" thing is a sign they've given up trying to pin down when Satan was thrown out of heaven. Their past timescales have been pretty varied. See THIS POST in above thread.
latest wt is up.. reinforces jesus becoming king in 1914 (no let up on that date).
marriage of the lamb to the 144,000. yawn.... yawn..... celebrates the 100 year anniversary of the photo drama of creation.
it seems to me that every 100 year anniversary shall be celebrated just to try and take the wind from the sails of apostates.. .
read this in another thread,,,,,,,,,feb 2014 wt.
there, they cast doubt on the application of daniel's 70 weeks prophecy to being fulfilled with christ.. "could the first-century jews have calculated the time of the messiahs arrival on the basis of the prophecy of the 70 weeks recorded at daniel 9:24-27 ?
while that possibility cannot be ruled out, it cannot be confirmed.
Cross-referencing.

Yep. That's pretty much it.

Astronomical diary -651 (652 BCE) or BM 32312 (Shamash-shuma-ukin's reign);
Saturn observation tablet with 14 years of data (647-634 BCE) in Kandalanu's reign - BM 76738/BM 76813;
Lunar eclipse tablets LBAT 1415/1417, 1419, 1420, 1421 (LBAT 1420 is already mentioned in Londo's video) and BM 38357 (no name preserved with this one, but years and sufficient historical information are, from which it can be deduced it belongs to Nabopolassar's reign);
Mars and Mercury observations from neo-Assyrian times to Nabopolassar - BM 41222.
the nov 2013 km contains an article that is ridiculous in its level of minutae.. they focus on the word "because".
they tell jws to use the word "because" when explaining why they're at the homeowner's door.
writing department, you wrote an article on the use of the word "because"?
Hilarious. Just when you thought Service Meetings couldn't become any more inane.

The Bible itself tells us Amel-Marduk followed Nebuchadnezzar.
There's NBC 4897 which is an accounting ledger cataloging the growth of sheep and goat herds for one of the temples. There are annual summaries and calculations carried over from Nebuchadnezzar's 37th year to Amel-Marduk's 2nd year to Neriglissar's 1st year.
The Babylonian Chronicles only help give a relative chronology - they can tell us how long certain kings reigned. We need the astronomical tablets to fix regnal years to calendar (B.C.E.) years. I.e. the sky clock tells us what time it was.

Doesn't that pretty much shove a huge hole in the extra years of Nebuchadnezzar? Considering that thing is from the time as well, wouldn't it also dispell any idea of other kings inbetween (since I think the babylonians would know their own bloody kings)
There are no 'unknown' kings in between that would extend the time-line by 20 years. Keeping count of regnal years was the ancients' way of tracking time - it was their calendar - necessary for the everyday running of business, banking, inheritance, for chronicling history, for developing their astronomical 'sciences,' etc. There are numerous tablets where you can see where one king succeeds another and how the regnal years follow on.

Adad-guppi stele info click HERE and HERE (go to p. 113) <--- sorry, hyperlink won't stick - try http://kristenfrihet.se/english/gtr4/5%20gtr4%20rev%20kap3.pdf
There is no allowance to push the dates back. The stele counts the lady's age using kings' regnal years.
off to see the wizardmany will easily recall the story of "the wizard of oz.
" curiously, we can gain some insights about spiritual authority from this popular tale.
dorothy, the scarecrow, the tin man and the cowardly lion go to the wizard because they believe he has the power to give them what they need.
... quoted from The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse, p. 117.
Yes, this illustration hit me too when I read the book many years ago
