One of our most dogmatic, authoritarian elders at the congregation I used to attend made this comment.
The WTS has beat the drum of absolute authority so long and hard that the idea of free will, or even the notion of a God who might take in to consideration the wants, likes, and desires of His own people has been strangled out of the JW psychology.
In one of his talks, Brother That's Final informed the congregation that it is pointless for us to engage in speculation about how our lives will be in the new system. "Jehovah will decide what our lives will be like. There is no sense in fantasizing about where you want to live... on the beach, near the Alps,... you will live where you are told to live doing the assignment Jehovah gives you." This, of course, was greeted by nods of submission by all in attendance.
I always pictured myself living at the base of a nice mountain range, rasing crops and maybe a few animals, perfecting carpentry and hardscaping. That actually appeals to me. But, Brother That's Final corrected my rebellious, independent thinking real quick.
