Food for thought:
While US military service personnel may be court-martialed for disobeying a lawful order, they might also face court-martial for obeying an UN-lawful order. However, it may be impossible to determine whether an order is lawful or not in the moment, particularly in the heat of battle. Deciding whether the order is unlawful or simply one with which they disagree is essential. By a similar measure, one might wonder if a slave may ever disobey a command given by her Master.
The answer, in very rare cases, should be yes. In certain circumstances, the slave should disobey her Master:
The slave is advised that she must -- respectfully -- refuse to obey her Master’s command in such cases where the order issued is unethical, immoral, may cause unlawful injury or harm, conflicts with existing laws which may lead to fines or arrest or prosecution, is deemed to be unsafe, may cause severe detriment to the slave’s life, may cause family tension or loss of employment, presents a conflict of interest, may cause psychological distress or trauma, conflicts with deeply held religious teachings and beliefs, or has been withdrawn by her Master.
If a slave respectfully declines to obey her Master under any of these conditions, her Master should hold no hard feelings or resentment or take corrective action, or punishment against her.
In this situation, the slave should promptly inform her Master and clearly express her thoughts. The Master and His slave can then thoroughly discuss the matter for the Master to decide on the best course of action for their mutual benefit.
