Yes, they are only human, but they claim to be God's true and only channel, and they knowingly present their own ideas as God's, that's why they are inexcusable.
"They're only human!" (the most common defence of the Governing Body)

I thought we were not supposed to put our trust in nobles, or in the sons of earthling man (humans)?

When they want to pull rank, they are the "channel of communication" from God and Jesus
When they want to be, they are only human
Which is it????

Moses made a mistake when not giving credit to where it was due after striking a stone which then produced water. Although he was punished, he still remained as the chosen mediator and the one to lead the Israelites to the promised land. Still those that went against him were divinely punished for their insubordination. It's similar to our Governing Body as they're imperfect and will make mistakes, however it would be wise for us not to question their direction. To question them would indicate a haughty attitude which is obviously a symptom of spiritual malaise which could very well lead to spiritual death. May that never happen.

SFPW. so basically what you're trying to convey is: somebody had been standing in the crowd and witnesses Moses and Aaron taking credit for what God did , and says "Hey, that's not right . Moses didn't do it God did." Then they confront Moses and Aaron and say, "You know what guys that really isn't correct. You both know God did it." Moses and Aaaron refuse to admit their false statement publicly and instead kick the person out for insubordination. Now God is going to punish that person? Yeah, somehow I don't think that's the way it's supposed to work.

Were all just human, so why don't R&F JWs cut other R&F JWs some slack for being human? The GB continuing to use BITE control to victimize JWs is not being human, it is being cruel, hypocritical, non-Christian, and evil to just list a few reasons to shun the GB.
Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

SPFW - GB is guided by their own ideas over which they vote, and when 2/3 of them agree on something, it's accepted. That leaves God and holy spirit out of the picture and proves that they are not God's channel. Simple as that.
