our oldest then 17, was upset when he was told this meant the older brother he liked wouldn't be talking to us anymore. I think he thought we would still go, but we all talked about it with them for a good month, we read Franz's books, so alot of that was discussed. 'he so enjoys sleeping in.
the middle son, 14 started asking questions early in the year. the one I remember was the WTS put in the bible book of stories that the first rainbow appeared after the flood, he knows some physics and that those laws had to be in place long before the flood, so it couldn't be the first. ( it was the first printing error I opened my eyes to ) his dad told him to ask an elder, elder Doug said well there could of just misted out ( you'd still see a rainbow ) or it rained at night, ( he had no real logical answer ) . the 14 year old from then on sat at the meetings passing a paper back and forth between he and his dad questioning everything . he saw the hypocricy.
#3 son, 10 at the time son always had us on the schedule to do the WT at the time that was decided upon, it took a while to change his routine, he's fine with us not going and being able to celebrate birthday parties, when he told the kids in his class that he celebrates now. they said "go Jayden". looking forward to the holidays, and making their lists.
they laugh at the dubs now.
