Isn't it a case though of how many are willing to die even though the GB admit they can be wrong? I've spoken to my still-in wife about various possibilities with our children and she just buries her head in the sand.

Relatives of those who have lost their lives putting faith of life or death in a religion that is neither Inspired nor Infallible.
by smiddy inwith the admission of the governing body that they are neither inspired nor infallible , i am curious to know how many of you people from all around the world know of somebody ,a relative or friend , who lost their life because of following the dictates of a religion that now says they are neither inspired nor infallible.,that they now admit they make mistakes.. how many people have needlesly died having followed the jehovahs witness religions policys regarding not getting your child vaccinated against diseases ,which was the case years ago, not having organ transplants as that was considered cannilbalismm years ago ,and since the mid 1940`s the ban on jehovahs witnesses having blood transfusions.. yet somehow today you can have fractions of blood donated by non jw`s who are designated as people to be destroyed at armageddon because they follow satans system of things,.
blood that is donated by these people ,stored in a laboratory , and processed into fractions by laboratory staff and given to jehovahs witnesses with their consent.with no consequences to them for doing so.. blood is not poured out on the ground and not used for any purpose as their bible the nwt dictates.or any other bible for that matter..

HELP needed from folks in UK, esp. in Scotland!
by WTS Archive intl;dr: if you live either in scotland or in other parts of uk and you don't mind traveling, you might be able to help a fellow ex-jw by being present during a courtcase where she alone has to face more than two dozens of jws who have ruined their business.
please contact me directly for details on when and where the court case will be held (i will know these details in few days probably).

Woah woah hang on there....
- Champions of truth? But they just admitted they get it wrong
- Jesus leads his people? How? Not through the GB or FDS...because they get things wrong as they just admitted!
- Jesus trusts the FDS? Why? When they get it wrong as they just admitted!
- They remain in Jesus' teaching? How? As they get things wrong as they just admitted!
- Deep bond to each other? What? How is that proof?
- High morals? I know athiests with high morals.
- Neutral? Other groups remain neutral.
- Named people? But they themselves named themselves.
What utter batshit crazy proof...honestly...shite upon shite.

GB "... it can make mistakes when explaining the Bible ..." Simplified version WT Feb 2017
by freddo instudy article: who is leading god's people today?
start of paragraph 12.. standard version: "the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.
therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction.".

Imperfect Spiritual Food
by berrygerry inthe feb 2017 wt is being reviewed here because of the "neither inspired nor infallible" potential of the gb.. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6237447308443648/major-doctrinal-changes-must-on-way.
this indeed has been stated in the past.. an equally interesting phrase in that paragraph is: "of course, jesus did not tell us that his faithful slave would produce perfect spiritual food.".
again, wt is using the "jesus never said" line.. what would make more sense is: "jesus never said that the food would be imperfect or harmless.".

Harmful?
Organ Transplants - NOT ALLOWED - Awake! November 15, 1967 p. 702
Those who submit to such operations are thus living off the flesh of another human. That is cannibalistic.
Organ Transplants - ALLOWED - The Watchtower, March 15, 1980 p.31
Some Christians might feel that taking into their bodies any tissue or body part from another human is cannibalistic.
For 13 years IF you wanted to be faithful to Jehoover and needed an organ transplant to live...you had to die.
HARMFUL ain't the word.

Major Doctrinal Changes Must Be On The Way

I don't believe there is a major change on the horizon. The article is a triumph story about the GB. Holy Spirit, Angel help, God's approval etc. I think it is a clarification to the rank and file to set thinks straight about the past and not about the future!
And yet now when the GB reveals "new light" more than the usual dubs may now think "Is that right? Because they just said they can err in doctrine"

Eh? What do you mean?

@Ding
A JW would say that Jehovah does direct the GB. It's just that they're only human so they make mistakes. No big deal.
Explain how that works? Jehovah DOES direct them but they don't listen? If they make mistakes even if Jehoover directs them then the result is still the same as if Jehoover were not directing them...ie the doctrines are wrong.
The GB cannot say they ARE directed by God yet get things wrong...that impiles God is getting it wrong.
If the GB get things wrong policy wise and doctrine wise just what is being "directed" by God then?
The cleaning rota?
