Thanks Gorb. Yes they have said a number of times that they are not infallible or inspired and err in doctrine etc. The problem as far as I can see is that they also make contradictory statements which boil down to being infallible, or speaking directly for God as his channel (which means being inspired).

If you can't convince them, confuse them. That's their motto.

Thanks Wannaexit. The phrase infallible isn't used of course, but if someONE, or especially a group of people are fallible and imperfect, surely they are not worthy of absolute trust. Saying they never deceive us basically boils down to being infallible. To "deceive" according to most dictionary definitions does not necessarily involve deliberate intent. If you cause someone to believe a falsehood, you have deceived them. If you "never deceive", you must be infallible.
I know this is just my opinion, and is reading a lot into it!
I'm sure that the official position is still that the GB is not infallible, but they do like to make contradictory confusing statements!

And he must know that, so it's lying (not just accidental misinformation)

His video is on jw.borg (scroll to the bottom and click on "videos"). It's the latest one. Look now before they pull it! Hope someone downloads it for youtube. Not even my most PIMI family members would agree to have "absolute trust" in the GB (gangrenous body).

Amazing new light in the latest morning worship by Gary Breaux. The GB "never lie or deceive us. We can have absolute trust in the Governing Body".
He then makes a very helpful point, so as to avoid being deceived and avoid lies. "Look for the zero, any component in a statement or teaching that cancels out a bible truth".
How about this one:
Psalm 146.3
"Do not put your trust in princes
Nor in a son of man, who cannot bring salvation".
Thanks Gary, you just helped 8 million people see that the GB lie and are not to be trusted. Great talk!
