    The Thinking is Done

    Excerpt from a Improvement Era, June 1945, Ward Teachers’ Message: 1

    “When our leaders speak, the thinking has been done. When they propose a plan — it is God’s plan. When they point the way, there is no other which is safe. When they give direction, it should mark the end of controversy. God works in no other way. To think otherwise, without immediate repentance, may cost one his faith, may destroy his testimony, and leave him a stranger to the kingdom of God. “

    Truth is most often used to mean being in accord with fact or reality, or fidelity to an original or standard. Truth may also often be used in modern contexts to refer to an idea of “truth to self,” or authenticity. (Truth – Wikipedia)

    Indoctrination implies forcibly or coercively causing people to act and think on the basis of a certain ideology. (Indoctrination – Wikipedia)
