Saints are praised, immortalized bu having them in images, sculptures, etc, and people use them as relics,and believe in them having some kind of power to make things go your way. As far as I know, JWs don't do any of those things with members of the GB.
I think that's what you mean with your question, if not, please elaborate.

Beatification: In the Roman Catholic Church, a declaration by the Pope that a dead person is in a state of bliss, constituting a step toward canonization and permitting public veneration.
The Devil's Advocate: Likewise, in the RCC, where the term originated, this individual is appointed to present arguments against the proposed canonization of the deceased as a saint. Not only has the term been misapplied in everyday usage, but the office has been emptied of all its advocates by the Pope.

Sad part of it is that GB will never realize that they are synonym with saints of Christendom
