For the purposes of the WT publications there is no doubt, no question.
The GB are Jehovah's spoke person, there is nowhere else to get salvation, you cannot question them.
For the purpose of the court and public exposure there is a fabricated, artificial humility.
"I think it would be quite presumptuous to say we are the only spokesperson God is using".
"We view ourselves as trying to fulfill that role [of the faithful slave]".
If JG had God's spirit, if he was abso-f***ing-lutely certain that the GB are God's highest authority on earth, he would have responded
"Yes! The GB alone are directed by God to speak biblical truth in a Satanic world."
"We dictate doctrine and understanding direct from our brother Jesus."
"If you think there is something wrong with our procedures then know these are God's procedures. Take it up with Him!"
JW's around the world would have cheered loud and hard at this man's confidence.
Instead we get a wishy washy answer from a weak man removed from his fan base.
Charlatans.
