Well should anyone be surprised? The writing committee and the GB have and always will be delusional. They are legends in their own minds. The see themselves as on par with the mythical Jesus, and put out BS as though it is coming from God himself. There saying they are the mouth piece of God here on the earth elevates them (in their own eyes) on par with God himself. Now if that isn't delusional nothing is. And for those still in the borg to adhere to this nonsense speaks volumes about them to. They should ask themselves just which God (Yahweh or GB) they are serving.
