    Out of a congregation of around 80... I'd say 25 of those were children. Ranging in age from infant to teens. That was back when I was attending. I have no idea what it is now..

    I noticed the local congo is pretty devoid of children. Maybe 3-5 kids. In the Spanish congo, however, there's a lot more kids. The # is probably in the teens.

    5-6 maybe at the most. When I left a few months ago there were only 2. One 9-10 and another 2.

    They were all children in my congregation.

    They read that the kingdom of heaven belongs to children, so they had surrendered all rational though and common sense to become babes again.

    The congregation I used to attend had at one time 86 publishers. Out of that, there were a fair number of children. I would guess somewhere in the 20s at one point. I am sure that number has declined as the children grew up and were discouraged from marrying by the hurdles put in the way. However, too many babies are being born in.

    I have no way of knowing how many there are now, and I am not going to risk getting recaptured into the Washtowel Slaveholdery, being herded into the Value Destroyer Training School, and getting used to start the Second Dark Ages just to find out. It's not worth it.

    1st KH (1973-80) over 30 (didn't heed the woe to mother suckling verse)

    2nd (1980-1994)KH 5 to start (3 include me & sibs) then it fluxed between 9-15.

    Presently there are 8 including my 2 in the English and 27 in the Spanish.

    I'd say about 40% were under 18 in my congregation. Most of them have left the building.

    But in that same congregation now, there aren't very many. Of course the only info I have is just little things my Mom mentions, but it seems there aren't any teens and just a handful of little ones.

    Hard to tell, they were all having their screaming muffled in the second hall so they wouldn't disturb the faithful while their loving parents beat the crap out of them for breathing too loud. Bobbi
