The governing body of Jehovah’s Witnesses tries to give the impression that they humbly apologize for errors in their biblical understanding. But at the most recent annual meeting in October 2023, governing body member Jeffrey Winder explained that new light comes to them from God. Hence, there is no need for an apology when they previously required their members to accept direction that turned out to be false. This puts the blame on God for all those that may have suffered from following such direction.
They don’t come right out and blame God. They admit that they are imperfect and misunderstand God’s guidance. This all sounds good. But they never address the fact that they have many times spoken presumptuously when God did not tell them to speak. For that they should apologize. (Deuteronomy 18:20)

The comments of Jeffrey Winder were made at the 2023 Annual Meeting and have not been made public yet. The talk by Gerrit Losch was given at the 147th Gilead graduation ceremony. It is entitled: “Are You Ready?” and can be viewed on the Watchtower society’s website. https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=share&wtlocale=E&lank=pub-jwb_201912_5_VIDEO
