Sounds like the WTS is positioning itself for a turn-around in its view on fractals, or at least distancing itself from it.

OOOh this article made my own blood boil. Wife did not push to attend yesterday, maybe I know why; I laid out the failures and flip flops of the blood "policy" two years ago; I think she now has serious doubts. Misdirection; that is the name of the game in list those "some" translations. A classic strawman argument; SOME have missed the connection (really almost no christian has missed the connection between Jesus' shed blood, it's ritual and real significance to christian forgiveness and grace) but NOT US OH NO SIR; we get the REAL significance of Jesus' blood. IT is what you should hope for and wait for, not some incredibly icky BLOOD TRANSFUSION. At least they say that "many" (really MOST) bibles "agree" with the NWT in including blood in the translation/version. This whole subject just does not stand up to any type of logical discussion. How in the world can ANY witness take vaccination shots, serum treatments, hemophiliac preparations when they believe that blood should be poured out on the ground, like the (uneducated, tribal, superstitious, under the law) Jews?? If you can't contribute blood to the common good, ethically you MAY NOT used "products" made from blood. But in the WT universe, blood is no longer blood when you separate it beyond it's "natural" 4 components. Oh, you can take all you want of the parts of the parts, but you may NOT take any parts. Taking the WHOLE is right out the window. For review: WHOLE NO 4 PARTS NO Any subfractions, including any amounts of those subfractions: AS MUCH AS YOU WANT. So theoretically, you could reassemble the blood, shove it into a tube and take it. I know this jumps the gun, but MAN I hate this discussion.
