good points Hermano. And I know witnesses who are resisting in ways you have mentioned. It is very said to see families blacklisted (in the sense that privileges are witheld from them) because of going to university but it is truly wonderful when they finish their education. Young people are resisting getting baptized early and then not getting baptized at all.
We don't clap when talks are disgraceful and believe me they often are. I also tell everyone who asks that I am enjoying my education.
Imo the society has had its golden age and its silver age is ending too. the silver age is the age of resistance to empire building in most cultures. I believe that the WTS is entering its bronze age - the spiritual food is lacklustre and unappetising, most elders are sick and elderly
