Perhaps I am overthinking this.......but I may have come to the conclusion that the GB's refusal to address and explain IN DETAIL all of the changes mentioned at the 2012 Annual Meeting is in and of itself.....their final explanation. From what I have gathered by speaking discreetly with those that are still "in" but on the fringe.......the information given at the 2012 meeting meant practically NOTHING to most JWs. In fact.....most are still completely unaware of the changes. Most witnesses still believe that the FDS has been around since 33CE and that the FDS still refers to the "anointed".....though the "anointed" are represented by the members of the governing body. Most have no idea that the "slave" being appointed "over all his belongings" is still a future event.
And I think that is just the way the GB wants it. I think they may continue to leave it unexplained in print.....and slowly but surely over the coming years......the new "belief" will simply trickle down through word of mouth. District Overseers and Circuit Overseers will mention portions of it from the stage and in personal conversation.....elders will confirm......and Sister Faithful will simply hear about it through the grapevine. After several years it will be accepted by JWs that this is the new understanding. No one will question it......and several years after THAT.....it will be a blur just like everything else is in their history. Individual JWs won't remember the exact article that explained the change (because it never existed).....but they won't care. Their memories will fade and eventually.....like all other understandings......they will simply believe it because that is what is now taught. They will assume that surely an article was written many years ago.......giving the explanation of why such changes were necessary, but they aren't going to look it up because it is too much work. Any that do look it up will of course find nothing. And those that are concerned about that will either be told to "continue waiting on Jehovah" or they will be told "does it have to be in print in order for you to believe it? Are you saying that hearing it from the mouth of Jehovah's channel of communication isn't good enough?" The word of mouth explanation will eventually become so entrenched that the GB will be able to write entire articles about it......without EVER having to address its origin.
If they stall long enough......while at the same time.....continuing to mention the new belief structure......the sheeple will accept it and forget about their one time desire to understand WHY it changed.
Just my two rupees.
