I'm sure it will be around but how big i don't know.
As the older ones die off or become inactive there doesn't seem to be as many stepping up to take there place as one Elder said to me recently " Iv'e just come from a meeting at Bethal they talked a lot about how much of this generation we have lost it seems we have skipped a generation ".
After alot of growth in the 80's and early 90's things seemed to have tailed off in the western world .
In 1992 i helped build the KH i used to go to it was built to hold 250 it was about 3/4 full and growing now it has about 100 publishers they had 9 reg pioneers then now maybe 1 or 2 the enthusiasm seems to have faded at best.
I went to the talk with my wife the other week (she still active) alot asleep or staring into space when i left after the talk the was alot of people milling around and talking in the lobby.
What will happen in the future i don't know it's CO's vist this week everyone will get reved up but it seems to faid just as quick.
Your thoughts??
