I think that The Others take these sons as sacrifices. Either The Others are "gods" themselves (which is more than likely what Craster and his wives believe) or The Others then sacrifice these children in the names of THEIR GODS (what I find most likely).
I just don't know if I can believe that humans can be transformed into Others, that doesn't seem like the world GRRM has been painting for us. Though, like always, I could easily be wrong.
I could go either way on that really. The lands north of the wall have the whole transformation thing going on anyway, with Bran and Bloodraven becoming the trees. Like I said, it's in the books, but who knows whether or not it's true.
Unreliable narrators FTW!

Probably the greatest thing about the way this story is told. You can't accept anything as fact until you hear it told by multiple people, just like the real world. Everyone has their own side of the story that suits them, just like the real world.
GRRM's greatest accomplishment is his mind numbing ability to take a fantastical tale and tell it through the POVs of multiple extremely realistic characters.
The traditional fantasy hero doesn't exist in this story, every one of the people who would have fallen into that category (Rhaegar, Arthur Dayne, Gerold Hightower etc etc) died at least a decade before the real story started. Thats impressive as frick imo.

Something I'm pulling from your guys discussion... What if the sons are being taken and are becoming the new children of the forest. I know it's odd, because Bran and co meet up with girls as well, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Bloodraven is the Night King. I don't want him to be, but it would make sense that someone so dark and mysterious might be bringing forth the others and trying to revive the children to set things back as they were before the First Men.
