It might have something to do with the over all age demographics of male JWS .
The baby boomers are getting older and their parents are in their 70's and 80's.
Ethnic minority congregations may differ from that though.

All the elders in our Hall (I havent been i a few months) are old.
Over 50
The young ones don't want to reach out. They see the BS, favoritism and abuse among some of the Elders.
This next generation is NOT stupid and see through more than the older ones know.
This cult has done it to themselves. Shot themselves in the foot.
We had a long talk with our kids this week. We never realized how much they saw through all the hypocrisy. Smart kids!
Great work GB...keep it up! Your running out more than you're bringing in!!!!
This is all very obviously a complete turnaround from the days of 1990, when young "brothers"were almost climbing over each other to get appointed.
Bill.
Who would want to be appointed today? The hours are terrible. I know of one elder who has to read all of the talk outlines for the upcoming RC, then watch all of the talks before they are given so he knows where the cues are to show videos, setup the stage, cue demos, etc. So he will basically see the RC 3 times. Who has time for that and to provide for their family?
I saw it before I learned TTATT. I still wanted to be an MS and then an elder, but never thought I could handle the extra workload. My elders said to rely on Jehovah. Tried that and ended up with severe anxiety after I put everything on hold to care for an assignment that the elders gave me. Didn't feel Jehovah's assistance and eventually led to me learning TTATT.
