The question is: Does any WT publication after 1930 every say that 1874 marked the start of the presence (or anything else for that matter)? If it does not, I think it's safe to say that the teaching had officially changed.
It's an open question why Fred Franz, who as far as I know wrote the God's Kingdom book, could be wrong about when this change came. He was, after all, there at the time. Perhaps he just thought the truth needed a bit of editing, as he often did.
