  i know this day would have arrived , sooner or later.. .

  i'm inactive from 1 year now, and i go to the meeting just sometime on the sunday.. but my wife is in a very well standing , and the kids are following her at meeting and service field.. .

  yesteray evening my wife told me that my 2 boys asked the elder to become publisher.. they are 13 and 10 age.. the elder was very polite , and ask my wife to have my opinion regarding this.. i'm going to talk the oldest boy (not taking in consideration the 10 yrs old one).. i would like not to be so drastic and not offend him, but i have to start some point to tell him some truth regarding this organization .. any suggestion ?.

  They are 13 and 10 age.

  It is absolutely imperative that you question your sons along the same lines that the earlier posters have suggested. Do you have any solid evidence that your 2 boys "asked the elder" anything at all? Even if they "asked", how can you be so sure their "request" was not under coercion? Becoming a publisher is serious business, a decision like that is best left to older individuals. As someone pointed out ... Jesus himself began his ministry as anadult. So if your sons wish to follow Christ's example, they should wait.

  You hear a voice being projected over a loud speaker or microphone? I instantly get a creepy flashback to Assemblies, Conventions and meetings ... sends shivers through my body.

  ''We should not be influenced by what the world watches

  How many programs has the Society produced for the "upbuilding" entertainment of the rank and file? Shouldn't JDubs even watch the news? Last time I checked, the "world" watches that right?

  I have seen prayers read at district convention!

  yes, i like to gaze around during prayers, especially big ones.

  twice now i have seen the chairman or concluding speaker finish the song, approach the speaker stand, say "let's approach god in prayer," and at the last second pull out a index card size of paper with writing on it.

  he kind of cups his hand over as he lays in on top of the song book.
