Our "having the same mind" and "thinking the same thing" wasn't predicated on the MOTA also following this. The MOTA as Seer of the Divine Revelation (WL's de facto title for WN & thus himself) communed only with God.

But where in the NT do we see Paul claiming primacy? Where do we see the apostle John adopting a slavish imitation of Paul? We simply do not. But this fiction was essential to WL being 'today's Paul' and dominating the intellectual landscape of the LSM LC with his personality.

It was so bad that if anyone tried to use their God-given capacity to think, they were roundly deemed ungrateful for WL's efforts on their behalf, and in danger of being labeled as independent, ambitious, and factious.
