Sorry, AO, the new additions to the GB were a year or so ago.
But on JW reform favorable forums the tired old guard of elders were frequently mentioning the new GB members in the context of the possiblity of more leniency and more common sense prevailing. I think this September KM and the coming private Watchtower that is not for the public will make them abandon that notion and leave them thinking, "Oh crap! Now what?"
