It's called the doctrine of octopapal infallibility.
(Still 8 of them as no one remembers Ken Cook).

Scully - “…That, my friends, is the look of a man who is simultaneously (and involuntarily) hiking his balls up into his body while holding back an entire colon's worth of diarrhea.”
With the sheer deluge of GB-veneration he was spewing, I’d have thought it was a spontaneous and involuntary orgasm.

While on paper the Governing Body has never claimed papal infallibility, in practice they have always had it. By the fact that they leave no room for an individual to choose whether to believe a particular teaching or not. Its 100% acceptance of their role as God's spokesmen or nothing at all.

GB Helper Gary Breaux might not be aware of it, but he's talking about himself & the cult org he represents...he's cutting his own throat when he says the following @ timestamp 2:15 thru 3:20:
"It's of note that liars will often shroud or cover the lie in truth...A brief math fact is...
anything multiplied by zero ends up in zero...so no matter how many numbers are multiplied, if there's a zero that's multiplied in that equation it's going to end up in zero...the answer is always a zero...
...So look for the zero in any equation of statements that cancels out all the other truths..."
Jehovah’s Witnesses/WTBTS have a long track record of shrouding or covering their lies in truth. Their exhaustive list of past, present & future clarifications, changes, new light and misinformation cancels out all truths printed in their literature!
In summary: Watchtower is the zero...Watchtower is a giant zero! -

They'll never explicitly claim to be infallible, but they just teach the sheep to obey to them as if they were infallible, including when they flip-flop doctrine.
To paraphrase Orwell, the Org has the ability to perpetuate belief in its infallibility while learning from its mistakes.

Yes, it's a bit of sleight-of-hand. Claim that you are god's channel on Earth, the only means by which Jehovah communicates his will to humanity. Then admit that you're prone to making mistakes and you don't always get everything right. You are claiming exclusive divine authority, while also disclaiming any responsibility.
In other words, if they happen to get something wrong, it's god's fault. I used to think they placed themselves between Jehovah and Jesus, but I think it's more like they place themselves alongside Jehovah.
