    Tor 1500. Yes agree with you fully.

    It used to gall me no end that there was NOTHING in the t for kids or teens.

    "the life has been sucked out of them", this made my heart jump as with all my failings as a dad I am so pleased my offspring avoided the wt trap.

    Going back to the 1960`s I attended a few congregations in Melbourne OZ,and in each of those Congs,their was only a few young children and no teenagers.

    We moved to Qld OZ where over the years their were a lot of teenagers as well as young children in the various congs, we attended there.

    From what i hear on the grapevine about half to 2/3rds of the teenagers have left the borg and pursued a life outside of JW. one I believe has made a name for himself as a cage fighter ?

    Though some have never quite shaken off the control the religion has had of a hold on them even though they live a life that would get them DF if the Elders knew of their lifestyle.
