What makes these videos obviously stupid, is the
portrayal of worldly people as being either, a violent criminal or a sexual
deviant, which even Witness teenagers know that this is not true, particularly
at school.
You see, when I was in High School, the student body
(like the broader community it represented) was stratified into different
social groups. You had your sporting jocks, the trendy rich girls, the poor, the
anti-social types (like today's Goths and Emos), the Greek kids, the Italians
and the list went on ... none of which would be seen dead, in the company of
the others. But what about the over-sexed students so often described in
Watchtower productions? Well I'm sure they existed at my school, as they must
have been in all others, but percentage wise (once you deducted everyone else),
were not an large group by any means. And they (like everyone else) kept to
themselves.
Personally for me as a Witness, high school was sort of
ok. I was one of the library nerdy types and I had a couple of worldly friends,
who like me, kept apart from the others in our own little corner playing chess
during lunch.
But yes, it is true that more kids are having sex than in
the past, but it's not as much as people think. In fact, most sociologists will
tell you that, conservative moral values are once more on the rise in the West.
Which deflates the whole narrative the Governing Body likes to push. That's why
I feel quite confident in saying that 95% of high school students today are more
worried about Friday's math test, than hooking up with Jodie or Brad after
class.
