- "My country, right or wrong," is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying, "My mother, drunk or sober."

Blind obedience is flat-out dangerous. They admit they are 'just men' who make mistakes, but demand 100% devotion without question. I hope this continues to add dissonance to its members, because it did for me.

So was Jeremiah obedient when told to quit his "preaching" by the religious leaders of his day?
So was Jesus obedient to the religious leaders of his day when they were wrong...so he stopped healing on the Sabbath?
Where does "we must obey God as ruler rather than men" fit into obeying the WTS/FDS/GB when it is wrong?

From Crisis of Conscience:
"It is men in authority who accord to themselves the right to be of divided opinion, but who exact uniformity from all others; men who express mistrust of others' use of Christian freedom of conscience, but expect such others to put explicit trust in them and their decisions, while they grant to themselves the right to exercise their conscience....."
