Not sure. I have noticed that the youth tend to just go along with it and then when they graduate from high school they are unapologetically off to college (and typically out of state). I hadn't been back to visit my old congo in a while. It was full of pre-teens when I left. When I went back to visit all but a couple had left. And the two that were still there were telling me about their plans for college.
No one talked about pioneering or reaching out. Their parents actually held it as a sense of pride that their kids were in college or on their way to college. One girl told me she never got baptized because she never believed any of it so she can live her life freely and not have to worry about getting disfellowshipped.
This reminds me of something else. There are a few girls that grew up in the same congo as me that had babies as teenagers or in their early 20's. They were never baptized so folks just fawned all over their babies. These girls made it clear that had no interest in becoming a JW but would show at the meeting every now and then to visit their parents. I'm sure this had some effect on youth of today who see how much freedom you have if you never get baptized.
I should have walked away as a youth.
