I agree with your comments 500%... We seem to be opn the same page... no kids.. not in this system of things... my goal, since I'm single again, is to go to MTS and I would like to eventually get into circuit work.... plus since I want to keep currently serving as a regular pioneer or sharing in some form of expanded service, kids are not in my plans in this system... I see other families in the congregations and kids kind of restrict what they can do, whether in service, at the Hall, or even socially...
Not to say I don't love kids... I would like to be a father in the new system, but in this system it would be too much...
plus if you have kids now, they'll be taking care of you before they hit their 20's
