The cult's dogma about their elite (or anyone else apart from Christ) becoming a king, is mind-numbingly false.

Shucks, I'll bet they wish they were already kings as well!
I never knew of a holy priest who loved Macallan Malt Whisky. Good endorsement for it. :)

REALITY CHECK: Any JW's who openly "ignore the G.B.'s "recommendation" in that Kingdom Ministry, will find themselves being seriously "counselled" by the congregation's wolves. Anyone who thinks otherwise..........

Is Jehovah WITHHOLDING something from Jesus?
by BoogerMan in(matthew 28:18) jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “all authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.. (1 corinthians 15:27) for god “subjected all things under his feet.”.
according to the washtowel, jesus is not going to have all of jehovah's power & authority, because he'll [jesus] need 144,000 dead/resurrected humans to help him run the earth: .

@ Disillusioned JW - The NWT says in Revelation that others will serve as "kings." However, the Greek word βασιλεύς (basileus) does not exclusively translate as 'kings.'
Here are other meanings of the same word: leader of the people, prince, commander, lord of the land.
Psalm 45:16 says, "Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons, Whom You shall make princes in all the earth."(NKJV) No contradiction then.
As you probably know, Psalm 45 is also in harmony with the correct translation of Revelation 5:10 when it says "upon" the earth as opposed to the NWT claiming "over" the earth.

w08 5/15 p. 15 par. 14 - Jehovah has also purposed that 144,000 anointed Christians be taken from the earth and raised to heavenly life as Christ’s joint heirs associated with him in administering earth’s affairs.

For whose name were Christians to witness? (see 29 scriptures above)

By whose name were people healed? (Acts 3:6; Acts 4:10)
By whose name were demons expelled? (Luke 10:17; Acts 16:18)
By whose name would people receive Holy Spirit? (John 14:26)
In whose name would people pray to God? (John 15:16)
By whose name would people be named? (Isa. 62:2; Acts 11:26)
By whose name would people be reconciled to God? (Rom. 5:10; 2 Cor. 5:18)

In whose name would people be declared righteous? (1 Cor. 6:11)
By means of whose name would Christians offer a sacrifice of praise? (Hebrews 13:15)
According to the Bible, Christ's name was to be the focus for Christians, not “Jehovah.”
It is curious as well as noteworthy, that the the name 'Jehovah's Witnesses' was changed by the WTBTS when setting up a subsidiary organization in Europe in 2001. The new designation was "The European Association of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses".
The EAJCW is registered as an NGO with the OSCE - a European political/military organization which is subject to the U.N. - in order to attend and participate/lobby in its seminars. http://www.osce.org/home/71616

@ SBF - I prefer to reason on different Bibles, rather than the NWT.
Ignoring the 28 scriptures about witnessing for Jesus is disingenuous. Two of them even say that the holy spirit and God bore witness for him.The NIV expresses your quoted scriptures far better:
Acts 15:14 - Simon has described to us how God first intervened to choose a people for his [Jesus'] name from the Gentiles. (Acts 11:26 - The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch) NIV
Acts 15:17 - that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, [Jesus] even all the Gentiles who bear my name, [Christians] says the Lord, [Jesus] NIV
Matthew 1:21 - She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he [Jesus] will save his people [Christians] from their sins.”

A few years ago, a zealous JW went ballistic when I told him that not one scripture tells Christians to witness for Jehovah, while more than two dozen prove they are to be witnesses of Christ. The truth hurts.

No part of the world
by Lost in the fog inthe wt calls itself christian while at the same time insisting that its witnesses don't mix with other christian groups but remain separate.. to be no part of the world.. i was mulling this over recently in my personal bible reading.
in the first century that demarcation would have made sense because apart from your fellow worshippers the rest of mankind were going to be jewish, roman, polytheistic, pagan, or (i guess much like today) didn't really care.. christians had no worries about meeting up with other people who believed in jesus the same as they did even if there were minor differences depending on who had first taught the gospel message to them.
but nowadays there's not just one christian group against the world, there's lots of "christians" out there.
