Although I agree with you on many things dealing with JW, but to be fair, the passage from Matthew is directed at all Christendom, bar none.
Peter is the denier of knowing Christ. Peter is technically the beginning of the Christian church in Rome, by having been the first pope. The history of Christianity shows how unlike Christ it has been.
The passage shows that P ...[text shortened]... the heavenly mission, what are we to really call Judas for assuring that Jesus went trough with it?

Matthew 16:18-20
Seen in the correct perspective, and weighing the history of Christianity, especially the history of the Catholic Church started by Peter, Jesus meant the foundation on which He, Jesus, would build His church.
I see it as Jesus tearing down the Vatican, including St. Peter's Basilica, on His return. There were a lot of rocks that went into constructing them, and when both are razed to the ground, there will be lots of rock piles on which to build Christ's true church on earth for His 1,000-year reign.
