The Live Forever book if I remember correctly states that God has a body and that He is not omnipresent but that through his active force his presence is felt throughout the universe. The Knowledge book does not discuss this and I find it remarkable that this discussion was left out of that book.
I believe that the reasoning is some thing like the Bible speaks of Jesus and Satan appearing before the person of Jehovah (God the Father) and that if God is a person he must have a body of a specific type that can only be in one place at a time.
When I went to college I read a book on Quantum theory. It talked at length about time travel. It got me thinking about the nature of God. I believe that most Christians believe that God created time but if God has a body that can only be in one place at a time it would seem to me that he would be bound by time and time would be greater than Him.
Anyway, I started a discussion about this with my non-JW siblings one time in front of my JW mother. She got very upset that we were discussing this. We had to drop the conversation.
