Can we move forward now?
The Watchtower Stand on Blood seems to be top on the list of priorities of reformers. This is because it is a lethal doctrine. How would you propose this should be handled if the other members of the GB acknowledged the need to change the rules on blood transfusions.
Do you think they would abandon their stand in one BIG move or would they do it gradually? How would you write the study article/s that change this teaching?
It has been speculated that some of the articles in the KM etc. have been moving away from the strong blood position. Is this true or has the GB discussed the need to make this teaching look more like an individual decision?
There has been a lot of speculation that the Society now allows its members to vote? Is that the intent of the recent article? Or is this merely window dressing to deal with European attitudes?
What is the approximate sequence of events of the years when the GB decided to change the 1914 explanation?
When and how did they get the insight about reinterpreting the information about "after the tribulation" - sheep and goats etc. Did someone on the GB propose these changes or was it a reaction to Questions written to the Society?
As the Governing Body looks at the organization what do they consider their number one priority?
What does the annual report look like for this year? Did JW's increase or decrease? Is there an acceleration in the decrease?
This is the kind of information I would like to get from GB. I don't care about the color of their underwear or whether they wear boxers or briefs.
We need to know what some of their moves are going to be so we can get a head start with our reactions.

What changes have been made as a reaction to a letter someone wrote to the Society? Or is that an exercise in futility?

If someone puts some money in a letter addressed to a Governing Body member is that letter handled differently?
