  I started going out when I was kid about 6 years old that I can remember.

  That's the one thing that really bothered me about this cult. What householder™, in their right mind, is going to listen to and learn about the bible, from a young child?

  How could such a person take the child's message seriously? I was one of those little kids that started officially preaching at around 6 yrs old, and looking back, it is further

  proof of the indoctrination methods used by this cult. It is nothing but 'busy' work, that is used to control the congregation members.

  One reason they use small children in the Misery is to take advantage of that Ooh! Aah! effect. The householder sees a small child who has some apparent knowledge of the Bible, and they are supposedly more likely to listen. At the very least, they are less likely to sic the dog on them or shoot them if a small child is in their midst. The Tower doesn't give a &$#) that the child should be getting some play time instead of spending 12 or more hours a day out there in that Misery.

  We used to call that the "cute factor." It works up until about late teen years.
