The old croonies at Bethel will say that their "Jehovah Based" rules are too hard for today's youth to follow; and think these young people are leaving because they want to live an immoral lifestyle. May be true for some, but why don't the JW kids return in droves in mid-life?
There are youths from model elder families who are model JW youths themselves. They leave Watchtower control soon after they no longer tolerate (cover-over) their congregation's pressures and not due to immorality. You would probably see their pictures in past Watchtower and Awake magazines.

There were a handful of youths in my congregation. All were vibrant and zealous members. Some conducted Bible studies, some were dedicated and quite enthusiastic in the "truth".
After a decade, none of these original youths and young adults are present in my congregation.
I don't know the real reason why they left, but I suspect some factors would be the following:
- disfellowshipping of some adult members
- they were shunned for questioning their beliefs
- they were pressured to serve Watchtower, instead of choosing college and a better life
Did you have similar experiences on this subject? -

Caution about News and Leaders essential to Defeat Watchtower
by ruruj ina. caution about news.
don't take the leaked news as absolute truth.
wait for it to happen then the news become real and valid.. beware that nothing prevents watchtower from becoming a spin master - saying or planning one thing then implementing something else ... to throw us off-track or distract us from essential matters.. watchtower could confuse us by leaking rumors and spinning plans.

"... have it all figured out, but you aren't and you don't."
- Honestly, I haven't. But I have been taking calculated risks."It's a team effort, show some respect and appreciate for the rest of the team."
- Ok, I'll try, but you and others will have to accept me as the scorpion or black sheep of the family. -

Just copy OUTLAW, imo.
If you mean his artistic expressions, then that's impossible.
I think I add diversity to JWN.

It's not what you say, it's how you say it.
Ok, how should I say it?
Please excuse me for the learning curve. I may be an old dog (old dog cannot learn new trick) you know.
