What you are not permitted to see, examine, test or question is where the magician hides his deceptions so the magic may be passed off as real.
Tyranny commences with certain assumptions which are not only unchallenged, but which MAY NOT be allowed a challenge.
These assumptions become, in effect, articles of faith on the one hand, and tests of loyalty on the other.
Accepting the untested leads to magic-thinking.
In Italy during World War II, the fascist leader Mussolini was said to be "always right." The brutish dictator magically knew somehow.
No counter-examples were permitted to be printed, spoken, discussed or debated without immediate punishments.
In Japan, the emperor was said to actually be a god. The pilots in his Air Force were sent to their sacrificial deaths as "Kamikaze" --the emperor's Divine Wind of death.
Under Stalin the Russian tyrant, it was demanded of the people that 3 harvests be brought to fruition each year under the assumption it would not
be demanded were it not possible. Not only did the people try, they starved by the millions sending off to the government graineries harvests which would have otherwise remained to feed their own villages.
Hitler promoted the proliferation of a German "Master Race" and the destruction of the Jews as the premise to a 1,000 paradise under the Third Reich.
As we all well know and understand, any who opposed these assumptions found themselves in concentration camps or summarily executed.
What could not be questioned led ultimately to the collapse of Germany and the death of millions.
These inimical dogmas could not have wrought the inestimable destruction that quickly arrived were it not for the clampdown on dissent, debate, public exposure to counter-evidence, etc.
What was demanded in each instance (above) was the total acceptance of an unproved and assumed truth as the foundation to belief and acceptance followed by unstinting efforts in loyalty and obedience.
LOYALTY became the only kind of tests allowed.
Wherever there exist punishment, censorship and condemnation for asking a probing question you will find tyranny.
Where you find a person's very THOUGHTS made a crime, you will find tyranny.
When loyalty is exhalted above proof and inquiry you will find tyranny.
The principle of uncertainty is that no thing is completely known or knowable to a moral absolute--therefore--vigilance is necessary to determine
where fact ends and unproven speculation begins.
What we don't know is always greater than what we do know.
So, how can any person or group claim exemption?
The test of education, moral integrity and modesty in inquiry comes with how OPENLY doubt, dissent and demands for tests of proof are ALLOWED.
Conversely, the failure of education and the collapse of integrity along with demonstrable hubris arrives with ANY DEMAND TO SILENCE open inquiry.
The premise of being an "anointed Governing Body" is a questionable assumption UNCHALLENGED because it is not allowed.
It is unprovable until it passes the necessary proof of testing its claims.
History gives abundant examples to any intellectually curious examiner of the record.
BUT THOSE ASSUMPTIONS REMAINED UNCHALLENGED within the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses for a very good reason.
It may be argued that false consolations are still consolations--as if that is an answer or a proof in itself. It is not.
Comforting delusions may be a comfort, yet, delusions they remain.
It is only those who claim to know the mind of Almighty God who owe an explanation as to HOW it may be demonstrated, tested and proved.
It is NOT an answer to say it must be so and therefore it is.
Assertions are not proved by making further assertions.
What are they afraid of--those Governing Body elite anointed?
Why have they become successful Tyrants and failures as humble slaves?
Isn't it because no challenge is allowed?
In effect, the GB says: "YOU MAY NOT TEST OUR CLAIMS-but-WE MAY TEST YOUR LOYALTY to OUR CLAIMS."
