  Why So Many Young People Are Leaving The Watchtower

  by Jeremy C in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been giving a lot of thought to the young people who are leaving the watchtower organization in recent years.

  last night, i was reading the thread posted by jwfacts a while back in which he provided some statistics and graphs showing the rapidly declining growth in the watchtower.

  one factor that was discussed at length was the high number of young people who do not stay in the organization.

  Jeremy, your post really hit home.

  After reading what others have said, I guess there are benefits having a paid clergy?

  ..... i still take myself a wee bit too seriously sometimes..... i look back at all i have written since i came here... what a ride!.

  i clearly like to argue.

  i think i have stated this before, but generally speaking, i don't argue in person.

  men are turning to a life of carefree homosexuality to avoid the expense of wives and children, it has emerged.. .

  a sharp drop-off in the men's grooming market has been linked to heterosexual men growing the thick facial hair which they believe will make them enticing to other males.. civil engineer, bill mckay, said: "with the economy unlikely to improve in the near future, there's no way i can afford nice dresses and designer chocolates, let alone the school uniforms and hefty tuition fees that are the eventual consequence of those bribes.. "alternately, if i bag myself a hairy builder then not only will he have no interest in cath kidston products, but also he can build my extension for free while we share interesting sport-related banter and laugh at the peter kaye jokes in nuts magazine.".

  he added: "i suppose we'd have to have sex at some point.

  as if the other sept. 15th wt thread i started weren't controlling enough - in another study article titled " run ..... that you may attain it " were you aware that just eating and wearing clothes on your body - might be a " stumbling block " to you ?

  in a prior article on pg.

  12 , paragraph 6 the wt society sets up what they are trying to get across by stating, " people of the world tend to seek personal interests first as " men of this system of things, whose share is this life.

  So you have chosen to be his slave, he has not asked you to be his slave, correct?

  Hey there!

  Doing fine.

  I've been thinking about doing a "Lady Chatterly's Lover" thing for Oompa's thread, but had to hold off. Delay is good, eh?
