George Fox, the founder of the Society of Friends (a.k.a the Quakers), had a Christian variant on this, which I'll quote - because quoting things is fine, it's still not in opposition to making them your own! : "You will say Christ saith this, and the Apostles say this, but what canst thou say?" As he saw it, it was not acceptable to point to scripture and say you were just following orders. You were called to be a friend of Christ, who understands what your friend wants, and wants the same. (That's the point of John 15:15, though it's obviously not John 15:15 doing the calling.) So your judgements should be able to stand on their own.
