i don’t understand how jehovah’s witnesses can rightly claim:.
that less than 150,000 faithful christians existed prior to the 20th century....when allegedly millions were martyred during the first 3 centuries of the common era alone.
unique ability to interpret scripture...when interpretation of prophecy has been 100% wrong for over 130 years.. .
they've been wrong once, how can you be sure they are not wrong now?
But the approach to Bible interpretation is honest and correct and there is good reason to believe they are correct
Like saying science has been wrong before thus science is unreliable. However that is fallacious logic.

No interpretation here, facts
That is your assertion. The only fact is that the conclusion you allude to based on interpretation of the evidence.
What you further post is also commentary and feel free to have your view. We disagree. No secret. Jw publishes their position. I am convinced of WT argument.

Watchtower leaders have been false teachers and incompetent Bible interpreters from the start.
Not at all. They JW deciphered the meaning and theme of the Bible and that can only be done with God’s help. They have also published their findings to a global magnitude helping people to get a better understanding of God’s word. And have translated the Bible to the modern language of the people in practically every language on earth. JW help people to put their faith hope and confidence in God. Obviously JW make mistakes but they do their best. Jesus will judge JW works and efforts when he separates the sheep and goats—as he will also judge each person.

There are more than 5000 archaeological documents that prove that date wrong!!!That is an interpretation. JW believe different.
What about my other questions?

The wrong date of 1914 in connection with the wrong date of the destruction of Jerusalem?
Because that ain’t wrong.

doesn't that mean their understanding of the Bible is not correct?
And they corrected it.

But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say
Relating to JW dates, That is not prophecy. It is interpretation of prophecy.

that the "7 trumpets of Revelation chapters 8 - 11" were 7 talks given at Bible Student conventions in the 1920s.
That is right. JW are fulfilling Bible prophecy.

But they did get those dates wrong.
That doesn’t disqualify them as God’s org or falsify their correct understanding of the Bible.
obviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.
and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.
in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.
holy lives that we might also be a "holy priesthood
First remember to factor in all the other Bible verses I mentioned. Bringing in new scriptures don’t invalidate them or the fact that christians in heaven will rule with Christ as king priests over christians on earth. So, that establishes that not all christians have the heavenly hope.
There is zero need whatsoever for humans to go to heaven except to rule with Christ as king priests for a purpose and that purpose is to reconcile humans to God and to heal their sinful condition, etc. The office of priest is not for helping the angels. Angels don’t need priests.
God never intended humans to die or go to heaven either or for Jesus to become human, etc. The whole thing including some humans going to heaven is God’s remedy to fix the problem on earth: sin, death, suffering by means of the “Messianic kingdom”. God did not change his mind about creating the earth and having humans living on it and humans eating from the tree of life. It just so happens that ONLY christians are saved so that debunks any argument whatsoever that christians will be ruling over non-christians
All christians going to heaven is nonsensical as I have unquestionably established.
