Of course young JW are so used to being monitored and controlled that when the leash is off they have no idea how to control themselves or behave like adults.
This is true...how many have you attended where everyone just sits and looks at each other?...its because being so used to being monitored and controlled they are afraid of showing their true selves. Is this natural? Hell no....young people should be loud and boisterous (within reason) its about developing socially and this is something the WTS always has stamped down on...in particular when I was young.
I had a get together at my house...we combined my stereo system with that of a friend of mines (whos shortly to be my best man) and we had around 30 witnoids around...of course booze was sneaked in (mostly by me...well it wouldnt be a party without it) and there were a few people caught on the stairs kissing...(shock horror)...but given the debasing music...which I think included Frankie Goes to Hollywoods, Relax!!? and 808 State!!??, the lack of elder and or adult supervision, guess what absolutely horrific thing happened?....NOTHING! A good night was had by all...until of course until one of the good little witness geeks from another congregation decided to report the party to the elders....why? who knows?...but ole DB who now had a reputation for throwing a great party could now not have another at his home.
I look back and this makes me angry...I couldve become more socially developed sooner had I been allowed to grow instead of being restricted and confined to almost stepford child proportions.
For the most part I agree with Ritchie on this...witness kids do suck...but not all...I was one as were most of my closest friends today...and we didnt suck....we got out.
