Friend,

Please don't insult my intelligence. That is not the way any JW would have answered that question then. They would not have hedged; they would have said it applies now as in "since 1914." In fact the answer might have been:

Answer: Because nothing in Jesus’ answer for a sign assigns the sheep/goat/judgement parable beyond the conclusion of the system. Therefore Jesus’ parable must find fulfillment during the conclusion of the system, not after. Since we live in the conclusion of the system Jesus’ words have application RIGHT NOW.

It amazes me how even a simple word like "now" is redefined in the Orwellian world inhabited by JWs.
