Thanks again for the welcome guys, and just to answer a few enquiries my children are still very young. I have a daughter who is 6 and a son who is 4 and what is becoming quite evidentis that when they visit their dad and we attend the meetings they are bored to tears. They are at the age where they are starting to express what they want and nowadays when they are with me they basically complian about going to meetings on Sundays. It's actually affecting their visits they tend to request that I send them home (back to their mom) early. I truly think that if the society really wants to do something for young ones, they should consider having a seperate services. You're really asking allot for a 4 and 6 year old to sit through 2 hours of a monotonous meeting with no breaks or outlet for them tointeract with others closer to their age. One other thing that really is starting to bother me about the Kingdom Hall. They always preach about bringing new ones to the Hall, inviting Return visits into the Hall etc.., yet when strangers or new people do actually visit how many brothers or sisters do you see actually walk up to these ones and introduce themselves? I could sometimes count on one hand the amount of people who do approach visitors and make them welcome. Shouldn't the elders and ministerial servants spearhead this? Many times I will see vistors come into the hall, nad leave without one person coming over to make them feel welcome. You go to almost any other church in christendom and they practically roll out the red carpet for you. Anyone else experience the same thing?
