  Why dont JW's have a youth group?

  by In_between_days in

  1. social
  2. family

  something that has been alarming to my jw family is the amount of teens ("young ones") that have bailed out of the organisation, never to return.. they use the excuse, as would most jw's that "satan is getting them - he knows young ones are vulnerable.".

  if you want my opinion, young people are getting far more educated - they are becoming far more broad minded than they were say 10 or 20 years ago.

  because of the slow yet sturdy slackening of the "no college" rule, many more young jw's are attending university or college than ever before, and with further education comes more knowledge, more interaction with reasonable and intelligent conversations with educated people and most importantly -use of the internet ("satans latest tool, as put by a jw i talked to recently).

  days, When I was growing up,( 1970's) we had something called the youth book study. It lasted for maybe a year. It was every other friday night. It was geared for young people in the congregation. a ministerial servant was in charge of the study, we all took turns reading the paragraphs. It was held at different peoples homes each time. After the study, there was usually a planned activity( scavenger hunt, baseball, swimming, etc.). I always looked forward to it. I thought it was just a local thing, but I was told it was something the society was trying out. It suddenly stopped. I suppose there were too many problems with it. I agree with you that my life growing up as a witness would have been much better with special activities given to my age group. musky

  perfection, when nobody else on your side of the family is not a witness, and you are different, that deserves a pat on the back. It takes a lot of courage to be an independant thinker, and make changes despite what your family thinks. musky

  perfection, maybe you shouldn't worry. Probably its time others know how you feel. It seems that confrontations are inevitable. Good luck musky

  hey mac, why not change your name to cleuelessmac. I called it as i saw it. Billy bob did not do anything any other actor could have done. This movie was way too long and drawn out.
