Remember, the WT. states one thing but in personal correspondence to elders they say the opposite.
The WT. states you can vote. The Circuit Overseer tells the elders, "ignore that. It only applies in some foreign countries".
The WT. states you will not be disfellowshipped for accepting a blood transfusion but they tell elders that the action could simply mean that the person himself, disassociated from the Christian Congregation by his actions.
The WT. states that the elders should clearly extend mercy to those that are in judicial hearings. The CO tells the elders, "Now everyone is extending too much mercy. We'd rather you judge (and err) on the side of justice than mercy. We don't people to contaminate the Organization".
So, the WT. can spin or say anything they like. It means nothing.
