Hi LA--
I can understand your hopes for improvement for what you and many others believe to be God's organization. I think they are unrealistic though and I'll tell you why.
Maybe you are independent enough to venture onto forums like this but many JWs aren't. You see evidence (against the WT) presented here all the time and yet you still have hopes for improvement. How many do not think there is need for imporvement? How many would think a circulated publication "coming clean" was some kind of test? ("What?!? No more shunning? We can take blood? This can't be real.") Sure some would rejoice and see it as divine guidance but many would be hesitant, I'm sure. Maybe you escaped it, at least some, but most have been so conditioned with fear that such a plan wouldn't work. Everyone would be too scared to agree with the proposed changes. Like they didn't agree with "Jehovah's Organzation" in the first place or something.
Nevermind the GB, you'll have to help yourselves. And if this guy (GB) is for real and he *doesn't* go to the media he's no better than the others, in fact he's worse cause he knows the truth!!
