The "generation" change is only an issue on forums like this, it has zero influence in the organization as a whole and young people don't even know what it is. A minuscule percentage of Witness kids go to college, even now, so that's not much of a factor
If your refering to newly baptised ones I can see your point. As for dubs in longer than 10 years or more....the" armaggedon could be any day now" seems to have taken less urgency. Dubs plan for retirement, invest, and go to college unlike in the past.I still feel the generation change had a influence in this regard, more than you realise.I think the percentage of dubs who go to college is a bit more than a minuscule also. Many older dubs even go now.
