Wasn't that something the Pharisees did to assert their authority by adding to God's commands?

You say well. We can also agree that the GB adds its commandments, as did the Pharisees.

The term "good" in the Bible is synonymous for "perfect". Like God's statement in Genesis; "...and it was good".

It is, however, it is not for "sinless."

I can only say that God did not call his creative works with word "sinless" (or "perfect") but only with word "good". Perhaps because "perfection" does not exclude "sinfulness". 

The capacity to sin is not some kind of "privilege" or "characteristic" of the imperfect, but also of the "perfect". Adam and Eve are proof that one can be "perfect" and commit sin.

I have not come across any comparison between the Watchtower Governing Body and the Pharisees. The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses strictly adheres to God's laws and faithfully enforces them, just as Jesus did. It is worth noting that Jesus did express criticism towards the Pharisees in this regard.

However, if the day comes when the Watchtower Governing Body starts to act like the Pharisees, spiritual Israel will recognize it, and God will judge them just as He judged those who added to the laws of Moses for their benefit instead of serving God's people.

God will also judge spiritual Israel if they choose to disobey Him, just as the natural Jews did.

I may be wrong, but I get the impression that you are a long-time member of the JW religion. If you are, then it's troubling that you haven't already noticed how the GB adds its own "wisdom" to the Bible. One of the last examples of "adding" (and/or "subtracting") is the abolition of counting the hours that ordinary JWs spend in service.
So, was the instruction to count the hours an "addition" to the Bible, or was the instruction to no longer count the hours a "subtraction" from the Bible?

Warning! Of course, this question is also "a trap". Because, no matter how you answer, you will show that GB is outside the Biblical standard. lol
