Repeat thread: Don't you sometimes feel all the changes in doctrine are deliberate attempts at keeping you in fear of the unexpected?
by dgp ini made the stupid mistake of not adding a title to my previous topic, so i corrected the mistake this time.. in "the ayn rand lexicon, objectivism from a to z"(http://www.amazon.com/ayn-rand-lexicon-objectivism-library/dp/0452010519/ref=sr_1_1?ie=utf8&qid=1308711714&sr=8-1, i found this (pages 248 - 249);.
it is a grave error to suppose that a dictatorship rules a nation by means of strict, rigid laws which are obeyed and enforced with rigorous, military precision.
such a rule would be evil, but almost bearable: men could endure the harshest edicts, provided these edicts were known, specific and stable; it is not the known that breaks men's spirits, but the unpredictable.

Is there a grey zone in terms of authority over a young witness?
by dgp ini am certain that the child of a jehovah's witness family is under the authority of the father.
i am sure the young daughter of this witness, who marries another witness (or anyone, for that matter) is under the "headship" of the man she marries.
but, what would happen if the child, male or female, were, say, 25, and already held a job?

Dear Governing Body: I have a lot to thank you for
by dgp inon reading this thread (http://www2.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/211600/1/society-doesnt-follow-its-own-advice-aug-15-2011-wt-internet-eve), i could but think of how much i had to thank the governing body for.. they claim that these days, thanks to the internet, anyone can pretend to be "in the know" and become a "desktop professor".
and they encourage everyone to distrust what they find over the internet.. dear governing body, i did follow your advice this one time.
as a worldly, i had no clue, and for some time had to check what apostates and opposers were saying about the slave.

English-language congregations in non-English speaking countries
by dgp ini am under the impression that english-language congregations outside of the united states must serve a purpose, other than just being the place where the missionaries can hang out and catch the occasional english speaker.
i think it's also a way to find the smarter guys in other countries and teach them the language and the jargon they will need if they ever climb up the watchtower corporate ladder.. what do people think?.
thanks.
