Shepherd book chapter 8:30
30. He or a Member of His Household Pursues Higher Education:
If an appointed brother, his wife, or his children pursue higher education, does his life pattern show that he puts Kingdom in- terests first in his life? Does he teach his family members to put Kingdom interests first? Does he respect what has been pub- lished by the faithful slave on the dangers of higher education?
CHAPTER 8 “SHEPHERD THE FLOCK OF GOD”
APPOINTMENT AND DELETION OF ELDERS AND MINISTERIAL SERVANTS
Do his speech and conduct reveal that he is a spiritual person? How is he viewed by the congregation? Why is he or his family pursuing higher learning? Do they have theocratic goals? Does the pursuit of higher education interfere with regular meeting at- tendance, meaningful participation in field service, or other theo- cratic activities?
