I've seen a few, younger crowd, as I do often, just looking up other stuff on my tablet while the meeting is going on.
Oh, the Org is in serious trouble! They should've never introduced that ridiculous 'overlapping generation' crap. The intelligent caught a whiff of their deceit since then.
Most of the teens at my hall are going through the motions and a small amount of their parents seem to not even believe things like in the op. One kid about 14 years old obviously hates coming to the meetings and shows it through his body language. However, he gives talks, comments regularly, and does a lot of demonstrations. He would never say anything that's not on a piece of paper!
His father is that type of witness that has an inordinate amount of zeal and assuredly sucks the life away from every room he enters. The boy's mother though is a different story, as she isn't zealous about the religion at all but nice to everyone. She even told me, concerning her son, that it's just like growing up in a Baptist household and that if your folks are Baptist then you'll be one too.
Now that amazed me because most witnesses would not compare the organization to another denomination especially in that light. It's almost as if she knows that it's just another religion like any other.
That's why I believe people are warming up to this cult more quickly than ever before without there being some kind of failed prediction to cause it. They must be seeing it for what it really is, another religion. In particularly, a religion with a bad history.
