    I've been watching over this elder/pioneer couples kid who is a neighbor of ours. I've been doing this A LOT over the past week or two. I just feel it helps get this poor girl away from service ALL THE TIME and I like kids anyways. So, I bring her to the park, play games with her, etc. Didn't really think much of it.

    Now, hubby goes to the meeting tonight and this elder asks him to do the opening prayer. Acckkk, that's SOOOOO obnoxious. It clearly has nothing to do with any holy spirit direction. It's this elder giving him priviledges because this elder is benefitting personally from me. I feel like it's some sort of bribary or something. Hubby NEVER does the prayers... Now, all of a sudden this particular elder asks him to do it? It never even occurred to me that this would happen.

    So, the carrot dangling continues...

    Everything is fine wih him being a JW now but if that happens it's gonna be crap. Right now, he doesn't study, go out in service, and overall isn't to strict a JW at all. But, if he becomes an MS he's gonna have more talks, those secret meetings of theres, etc. Accckkk, all because of what? I'm watching some elders kid???

    Test the water.

    Randomly stop watching the girl, especially at short notice, to cause disruption (from what you say it'll just mean they have to take her on the service - which they should anyway)and see whether their attitude to your hubby changes.

    I take it the "privileges" are a big deal to him - he must be talking about it and telling you otherwise you wouldn't know he'd said the prayer!

    Yeah, I got a text message about it WHILE he was still at the meeting...

    LOL

    Alternatively start giving the girl "Apostate Studies" and see how fast they whisk her off

    "Daddy is true what Cognac says about Jerusalem being destroyed in 586 . . ."
