    The other day a young JW girl about 17 or 18 knocked on my door with liture for there convention. She was a real doll. she was wearing sandles with painted toe nails and great looking green eyes. The first thing I did was put her on the defenceive by showing her a picture from WT publication of what will happen to non-JW on judgment day. Which seemed to shock her. Then I asked here is she had read the WT 1984 book Survival into the New Earth and she said she newer heard of it. So I told her to go to her KH and find a copy. So I told her it says that she will be spending 1000 cleaning up the mess from the big "A", Like bearing dead bodies etc. By this time the smile was gone from her face and turned to gloom. She looked like she could not get away fast enough. In parting I told her by the time you are 25 you will be out the door. I know I gave her a lot to think about.

    THe question is of the 17-18 yr. girls what % of them are out the door by the age of 25. It is a know face that the part of the brain that controles the concences of our actions is no fully developed until we reach the age of about 24-25 yr.

    I'm 33. I'm not officially out, but faded. I think being elder from 24-30 kept me in - thinking I could make a real difference, maybe even changes in the ORg. No such luck. {sigh}

    I really feel for the young people there, I was one of them a very, very, long, long time ago.

    I think a man of your age shouldn't be thinking about a 17 or 18 year old's painted toes and great green eyes.

    Then what should I be thinking about. 14-15 year old with painted nails. How do you know how old I am.

    what % of them are out the door by the age of 25?

    Keep doing that to them and the % will come down.

    Going by the PEW forum, only about 36% of children brought up by Jehovah's Terrorists still identify themselves as such as adults.
