Every WT magazine has at least one article that asks this question at the end of one of the study articles. Sometimes these questions are in the books such as this week's book study. They spiced it up a little bit for this book study though. They asked, "and what will be considered in the ensuing chapters?" Call me strange, but the word ensuing adds some excitement. Gets me all tingly inside, like bad girls from James Bond movies.
What always killed me with these questions, was the ones who raised their hands for these questions, were the ones who waited until the last minute to comment. To hell with the little kids having trouble with pronunciation and reading, and their parents waiting for something simple in the lesson so they could show off their children as being raised as little spiritual gifts from God. Nope, slacker JWs would raise their hands in a heartbeat to avoid the shame of someone approaching them after the meeting saying, "I missed your comment today!" I guess the shame of not commenting at the meetings far outweights letting cute little children express their love for Jehovah.
Any of you guilty for raising your hand for these sort of questions?
On the flipside, its funny how some parents who think too highly of their childs developement.........let their children read scriptures, or paragraphs beyond their child's capabilities. Sometimes you can see the irritation in the conductor's face when this happens, or some of the more zealous dubs. I find it funny personally, some little 5 year old reading John 17:3, "Dis mmmmm...eeans....eating life" (parent chimes in, and you hear it in the microphone) "everlasting!" Kid repeats parent, "everlasting life. Th, th, th, their ta, ta, ta, k, kk, taking in, know you." Then the parent grabs the microphone back and finishes the verse. Half the audience goes, "awwwwww!!!" The other half including the conductor(unless its his kid) roll their eyes. Gotta love that application of Hebrews 10:25, and Romans 1:11,12.
