You have said nothing that I have not said myself. But none of that equates with teaching that Jesus’ parable could not apply until beyond “the conclusion of the system”, which would constitute the “serious mistake” mentioned in the Survival book.
Nimrod claims that the Society has followed [made] that “serious mistake”. With that claim he constructs an idea that the Society has fallen prey to its own admitted mistake. Nimrod’s claim is false because the Society did not then and does not now teach that Jesus’ parable could not apply until beyond “the conclusion of the system.”
As for whether Armageddon is part of “the conclusion of the system”, I hardly think there is any doubt that Armageddon has long been held as the very end of the system, making it part of the conclusion, the grand finale.
