You can see how the Society will sometimes subtly change a teaching by examining a few sentences from the 1990 quote and the 1992 quote:

1990:

"Accordingly, God could take his anointed ones to heaven immediately after the destruction of Babylon the Great, setting the stage for “the marriage of the Lamb” to occur. All the holy ones could thus share with Christ in ‘shepherding the nations with an iron rod’ in the remainder of the great tribulation. (Revelation 2:26, 27; 19:11-21) If that is how God handles things, all the 144,000 would be with Jesus to ‘rule as kings with the Christ for the entire one thousand years."

[Note the lack of definite statments here. Maybe yes, maybe no as to whether or not the entire 144,000 would be in heaven for the marriage of the Lamb and for the final destruction of the nations.]

1992:

"Finally, after the demise of Babylon the Great, all 144,000 ‘sealed ones’ will be in heaven for the marriage of the Lamb. "

[No longer any doubt. The entire 144,000 will be in heaven for the marriage of the Lamb.]

Thus are teachings sometimes changed in the Watchtower world.
