MrGordon, you are just highlighting a problem with getting all your knowledge and wisdom from a single source namely the Governing Body - thank you Copper for the insight that you provided.
According the bible Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven was present at the time that he was present and not only sometime in the future which coincidentally is now - this has been the case since the start of the Christian era.
Luke 17:20-21 New International Version (NIV)
20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
Of course true to instruction many door knockers also proclaim that JWs are a loving peaceful lot, while drooling in anticipation at the demise by fire of most the human population and accepting the splitting of families in the name of a loving God.
As is quite normal, you are digressing.
