So here's the full flip-flop list:
WAS DEBORAH A JUDGE?
YES - (Judges 4:4, 5) Now Deb′o·rah, a prophetess, the wife of Lap′pi·doth, was judging Israel at that time. She used to sit under Deb′o·rah’s palm tree between Ra′mah and Beth′el in the mountainous region of E′phra·im; the Israelites would go up to her for judgment.
NO - w62 6/15 p. 367 par. 31 Foretelling Him to Whom All People’s Obedience Belongs
the Reubenites did not go to the support of Judge Barak and the prophetess Deborah.
YES - w66 8/1 p. 474 Barak—Judge and Deliverer of Israel
Though judge and prophetess, Deborah kept her place, setting a fine example for all Christian women.
NO - w73 12/15 p. 755 par. 4 Why Exult in Spite of Personal Hardships?
as in the days of Judge Barak and the prophetess Deborah.
YES - w78 2/1 p. 14 Success Only by Reliance on Jehovah
Thirteen judges are named, including Deborah, a prophetess and judge.
NO - w80 11/1 p. 30 Questions From Readers
while Deborah can properly be described as a prophetess, it is only in a general sense that she was doing a measure of judging in Israel; she was not taking the full place of a male judge in Israel.
NOT SURE - w86 6/1 p. 31 Questions From Readers
Aside from these 12, the Bible mentions Deborah, Eli, and Samuel in connection with judging. (Judges 4:4; 1 Samuel 4:16-18; 7:15, 16) However, Deborah is called first a prophetess, and she is linked with Judge Barak.
NO - w91 8/15 p. 26 Jehovah—"A Manly Person of War"
through the prophetess Deborah, Jehovah summoned Judge Barak to assemble ten thousand warriors.
