Almost correct.

You said:

> What was taught prior to 1943 was that while Jesus had come invisibly in 1874, he had been enthroned in kingdom power in 1914.

Until around 1922, Jesus was considered enthroned in 1878. Rutherford started his revision of the "Russel/Barbour "chronology" by moving the enthronement up to 1914.
Since absolutely nothing of what that "Chronology" had predicted did happen in 1914, Rutherford understood that he had to make something happen on that date.

> The Watchtower of March 15, 1935 (page 83 says: "The 'day of Jehovah' began in 1914 when he enthroned his beloved Son and sent him forth to rule." So the fact that 1974 was not abandoned till 1943 is no big deal.

1874 was actually abondoned around 1930. Beginning of the end in 1799, was also moved up to 1914 around the same time.

> However, other changes that Rutherford made really upset Russell's system and Watchtower chronology has been a dog's breakfast ever since. There are several interesting studies being done on this now.

Very true, Rutherford managed to make 1914, which was the ultimate end of the Russell/Barbour chronology, the beginning of his own. He thus bought some more time for the WTS. History and time itself has now proved that Rutherfords chronology was every bit as hopeless as Russell's. We are soon writing 2000 and of course the date 1914 will sooner or later have be discared like all the other hopeless WT dates.

Norm.
