The whole objective of this photo is to show how the family left all the comforts of home to a place where ''the need is greater."
What I see is the mom,dad and daughter all happy eyeing at a map of the family's new destination.The boy is looking away and holding and petting the dog.Why isn't he looking at the map and excited as the rest of the family?Why isn't the dog in any other picture with the family? They could of included the dog in another picture but the ''writers'' wanted to show that the family left everything,even the dog for this ''greater need'' bullshit!

"Mama,Higo,Higa,and Canino.I have decided as the man of the house for all of us to move to Columbia,South America where the need is greater.We will need to sell the house,car,look for new employment, find new schools,new friends and family."
Son:''Papa,Fluffy is coming with us,right?
Papa: "I'm sorry but Fluffy has to stay here. We will have to give him away or give him to a shelter.Don't you see how much it costs to feed Fluffy.The vet bills alone will save us enough money so we can spend more on field service gas money.Plus,who will watch Fluffy while we spend all our waking hours at meetings and field service."

been catching up on some jw reading and found a gem in the november study wt in the first article, paragraph #11:.
yet, you might look beyond the obvious and ask yourself, does my child enjoy the ministry or only the breaks?
if you discern that the ministry could be more interesting or more rewarding for your children, set goals with them.
Dad,I love field service! We wasted one hour at a coffee shop,walk slower than a turtle,fake knock on doors and walk past householders that are in front of our eyes.This seems too easy!

Mr Herd,
Here is an article written 113 years ago degrading the nations of negroes. You Sir, have come a long way in the eyes of the Watchtower Society. Women aren't under subjection to any man just like the Negro race is not under subjection to the white race!
The above excerpt is taken from Zion’s Watch Tower, July 15th 1902, pages 215-216.

Mr. Smauel Herd :
Before you gave this wonderful talk on women ,you should of read this article out loud to yourself ! Your race was not really admired 100 years ago by the Watch Tower.
While it is true that the white race exhibits some qualities of superiority over any other, we are to remember that there are wide differences in the same Caucasian (Semitic and Aryan) family; and also we should remember that some of the qualities which have given this branch of the human family its preeminence in the world are not such as can be pointed to as in all respects admirable....The secret of the greater intelligence and aptitude of the Caucasian undoubtedly in great measure is to be attributed to the commingling of blood amongst its various branches; and this was evidently forced in large measure by circumstances under divine control. (Zion's Watch Tower, July 15, 1902, p.215-216)
my congregation had four elders who had different personalities.you would see a little friction among themselves.. #1 self-righteous and the 800 pound gorilla.he would push everyone around in the congregation and even some fellow elders.. # 2 elder was around 80 years old and looked like he stuck around a little too long.it looked like he was around because he never decided to give up the position.his duty became very light as he aged.. # 3 elder was in his early 30's and newly elected.he made no waves and whatever was asked of him in the congregation he would do.easy to push around like a little puppy dog.. #4 elder (who everyone liked ) was easy to get along with and had a family who everyone loved.
he didn't like elder # 1. they had a power struggle amongst each other which everyone observed while the meetings were in session.. here are 2 small verbal fights that i observed while the congregation meetings were in session:.
while elder # 1 was giving a talk ( heavy rain storms are brewing outside with loud thunder and lightning ) the microphones and lights are knocked out.we lost all power and could barely see.

a small BOE the WT defaults to the COOBE, since he usually interprets being the COOBE as having the most qualifications, the curious thing and I'm not sure some of the friends notice...how some of these guys really use this assignment as a platform to attract attention to themselves,
Yes! That's Elder # 1 you're describing! He was the Watchtower conductor for the longest time since he was the COBE. His whole objective was to show how smart and self-righteous he was. The Watchtower meetings always ran 10-15 minutes late every week since he talked so much. One time (an elderly sister who didn't read that well and read too slow) was told by Elder # 1 to stop reading mid- sentence because they didn't have enough time. ( Actually,he didn't like the fact that she was uneducated and he was so smart )
