Even though the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses claims that they are guided by Holy Spirit, all of the decisions and rules that it makes are decided by a 2/3rds majority vote around a large conference table.

So even a major decision like whether witnesses will take blood transfusions or not can be vacated or upheld by a single vote.

That's not quite true. A majority is all that's needed. Only in the case of CHANGING an existing doctrine or policy like transfusions is a 2/3 majority required.
