This is really encouraging to families that get to spend little time with Daddy elder.
Now he gives up a week of vacation one year to go get puffed up with pride.
I see this move as very smart on WTS's part.
These "clergy class" guys will be convinced that:
1. they are the princes.
2. they need to stay busy in Jehovah's The Printing Company's service.
3. they have been granted such a lofty privilege.
4. they need to keep promoting the doctrine in order to be princes.
5. they just need to focus on the Kingdom Printing Company instead of their own lives for just a few more years.
6. those pesky lawsuits can be minimized if they just follow procedure exactly-
perhaps engaging in illegal or unethical practices, afterall- it's Satan's world.
7. there is no room for doubt or disloyalty on their parts.
