directly, and this event is not indeed in the Bible?

Jehovah's Witnesses conscientiously teach the results of their sincere bible research. Despite what the questioner pretends, the bible quite plainly discusses Christ's invisible second presence.
For example, Revelation tells its readers that Christ's presence would be "with the clouds". The apostle Paul plainly implied that the enemies of Christianity would NOT be able to "see" Christ.
(Revelation 1:5-7) Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness,”...Look! He is coming with the clouds
(1 Timothy 6:13-16) I give you orders that you observe the commandment...until the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ. ...who dwells in unapproachable light, whom not one of men has seen or can see.
(Ephesians 1:18) ...the eyes of your heart having been enlightened...
(2 Corinthians 3:16) When there is a turning to Jehovah, the veil is taken away.
The fact that Jesus comes "in the clouds" reminds one of the presence of the sun behind clouds. Anyone can "see" that the sun has risen, even if the sun's outline is not plainly delineated. The effects of the sun can be seen, and any person can discern the other clues indicating the literal presence of the sun above the horizon.
The bible describes something similar with regard to the personal qualities of the Creator.
(Romans 1:19-20) What may be known about God is manifest among them, for God made it manifest to them. For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made
Thus, it seems rather obvious that only those actually LOOKING for the Christ will discern his presence.

JWs knew that Jesus already arrived but invisibly. Yes, its true why? because they have wisdom from above that they understand Bible prophecy. The prophecy in Matthew 24 which states the signs of the last days are the fact that we are now living that last day mentioned in 2Timothy 3:1-5

WHAT?
That was confusing!
There is a math equation in the bible just ask for it. it is to confusing for me to remember.
JW's say he has taken his place on the throne in heaven. Not that he is hanging around out side.

The claim he most likely has, but do not claim any Watchtower teaching is infallible.

Maybe you should read more about the prophecy of Daniel.
http://www.jehovahsjudgment.co.uk/607/appendix.html#sectiona
If you read that, then you will have your answer.
Update:
Do you know about the prophecy of Daniel? If not then you should try learning it, because it talks about Christ presence.

Stop trying to make up untrue crap about the JW's. You know you are lying just to try and discredit them.
