The problem with most of with WT say regarding headship is stretched as far as they can take it.
Where does the bible say that if a way has a baptized son that the son should be the one to say the prayer and lead worship?
Whatever happens to "do not go beyond what is written"?
Most of what was said in the Bible relates to the congregation but trust the GB to try to get into your house and mess things up for you.
I did not see this as a changed understanding. The article says:-
“To know if she should wear a head covering, a sister would need to answer these three questions:
1. Does the activity require that a sister pray publicly or teach from the Bible while a baptized brother is present?—1 Cor. 11:4, 5.
2. Even if a baptized male is not present, would this assignment normally be done by a baptized brother?—1 Tim. 2:11, 12; Heb. 13:17.
3. If the sister is married, is her husband present while she publicly prays for others or teaches them from the Bible?—1 Cor. 11:3.
If the answer to any of those questions is yes, then a sister should wear a head covering. If the answer to all those questions is no, then she does not need to wear a head covering”
.........................
so is a sister takes her baptised son on a Bible study and prays, she should cover her head.
1. Does the activity require that a sister pray publicly or teach from the Bible while a baptized brother is present?—1 Cor. 11:4, 5.
2. Even if a baptized male is not present, would this assignment normally be done by a baptized brother?—1 Tim. 2:11, 12; Heb. 13:17.
3. If the sister is married, is her husband present while she publicly prays for others or teaches them from the Bible?—1 Cor. 11:3.
I like how they spin the bible to say whatever they want. What does "publicly prays" mean in the context of a home bible study? If a woman is in her house, this is not public prayer and the presence of her husband is irrelevant but this is the WT
Based on Blue’s brother, it doesn’t sound like anything is changed.
same old WT, the more the go on about this the more the will alienate some but the core believers will stay no matter what they say,

iX: wt wants to control the world, so: all prayers connected with a reported activity, bible study, backcall, head count, even done hidden at home is an extension of the congregation function. which jurisdiction covers the world. therefore any such organised, taught or mandated activity requires authorizing head covering.
curious that women can teach at meetings, hair showing! --- wt explanation for that grave violation of bible principle?
The sister is speaking in the congregation *** under the auspices, control of a male (the conductor) , his headshio.
*** in violation of the "lords commandments in 1 Cor 14 and 1 Tim. 2. silence ladies please, how pleasing.

good point @waton,
How convenient for the WT.
The Bible says, "15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering..."
I have always had a bit of a bone of contention with this even though I am male. If a woman's hair is by nature longer than a mans, then it follows that her hair is her head covering. Not some goofy fast food napkin, not some scarf, not a hat.
But of course if it were not for making idiotic rules the gibbering body would have nothing to do, because most people are probably intelligent enough to understand simple written words without a multitude of interpretations of men.

iX; this is not a happenstance that fell into wt writers laps.
I remember it word for word in Yankee Stadium/ Polo Grounds NY City 1958. when this exo- biblical procedure was initiated. with 100s of thousands listening, watching,
If a woman's hair is by nature longer than a man's, then it follows that her hair is her head covering.
:fujw: Many ladies in this neck of the woods have very pert short hairdos. better than men's; when viewed from behind. seeing those that "love the first, [forward] places in the synagogue".
from that rearward perspective you can not tell the difference between male and female, very telling!
