Communication and meaning
by Introspection ingiven some of the recent arguments on the board (which i haven't kept up with at all) i thought this may be of interest, it's taken from my speech class' text book.
they propose a model of communication that is the result of two parties' joint creation of meaning, rather than involving only a sender of information and receiver.. .
meaning is social.. this implies that no one individual, either sender or receiver, can control "the true meaning" of a statement.

How to run an Organization: by the master.
by refiners fire ina few selected passages that caught my eye.
all quotes in capitals.. a doctrine must never be willing to share with another,it cannot be willing to collaborate with an existing order,which it condemns,it feels obligated to combat with the whole world of existing ideas with all possible means, that is, it must prepare its downfall.. the movement must be opposed to existing institutions.. the writer then speaks of manufacturing simple slogans which must be endlessly repeated so as to ignite the organizations followers to action.he says that,once something has been revealed as doctrine to the masses,it must never be altered or changed.
the word used is infallible..... since the programme of the movement is absolutely correct in its aims..with a doctrine it is less harmfull to retain a formulation,even if it should prove to, later,not correspond to reality, rather than improving it and expose a granite principle to discussion.for how shall we convince the people to have blind faith.

by jurs init does seem to me like elders are masters of double talk.
for example, last night during my talk with the elders i said i did not believe the organization is the mouthpiece of god.
that i believed the bible was god's word.
