I’m sorry, but you are way off base with this one.

Relative to the “serious mistake” “now” has only to do with “the conclusion of the system”.

This thread is about whether the Society now teaches the supposed “serious mistake” not whether their teaching today is the same as that of 1984. The “serious mistake” had only to do with the notion that Jesus’ sheep/goat/judgement parable would have application beyond “the conclusion of the system.” It is so elementary I find it incredible that you try warping what is there in black and white.

> 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.

Yes, that would have been an entirely acceptable answer back then. Now, tell me how that equates to the “serious mistake” of teaching that Jesus’ parable could not apply until beyond “the conclusion of the system.”

Facts speak for themselves. In 1984 nor today have Jehovah’s Witnesses taught that Jesus’ parable could not apply until beyond “the conclusion of the system.” They have not made the supposed “serious mistake.”
