XQ,
You are correct. I was using the GB interchangeably with the remnant. I just assumed that most folks on this board already realizes that the remnant authority doctrine is a sham because the lowest non-annointed elder has authority over a non GB annointed in any congregation. Also, a "given one" doesn't give a hoot about a non GB annointed person when they create policy. So, the doctrine of the annointed being appointed over all mankind really only applies to th GB from a practical standpoint. I apologize for not making this clear.
As far as the GB being functionally and practically the Savior of the GC, I have really nothing to add than what I wrote above.
