Jehovah’s Witness Governing Body Member Explains “New Light” and Doctrinal Changes

A new member of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Governing Body explains the idea of “new light” and why some teachings are changed over time. The speaker compares Jehovah’s guidance to a manager who gradually gives an employee more responsibility after observing their performance. The post argues that this explanation raises questions about earlier teachings and decisions made by the organisation’s leaders. It also criticises past doctrines, including the organisation’s position on blood transfusions, and invites Jehovah’s Witnesses to consider whether doctrinal changes reflect divine guidance or human error.
