The book said that it would be a serious mistake to conclude that the parable did not apply now, i.e., "then."
That is an absurd statement coming from you. You’re straining to read your own ideas into a pretty simple statement.
The supposed “serious mistake” is the bone of contention on this thread not whether the Society’s teachings on the subject conflict or not or are compatible or not (though I hold they are compatible). The supposed “serious mistake” has to do with teaching that Jesus sheep/goat parable could not apply until beyond “the conclusion of the system”? Do you contend that the Society has taught that Jesus parable could not apply until beyond “the conclusion of the system” or not? It is just that simple.
