The hall I used to attend had roughly 45 in attendance at meetings. The age groups seemed to be pretty evenly split, with the noteable exception of absolutely no one between the ages of 18 and 30. It seems that the minute the kids get old enough to move away, they are gone.

Trying to establish the demographic trends of congregations. Wanting counters please. Big brother needs you.
by joe134cd ini'm just curious?
since i have become aware that witnesses are getting older and that the youth is leaving (well in western lands anyway), i have started doing counts by age group of the people sitting in the hall.
generally in the hall that i attend i have found that 2/3 are 40 and over while 1/3 is 40 and under.

I would guess that at least 75% of the work for a cake decorator would be holiday items and birthday items, unless you worked in a shop that specialized in wedding cakes only. Most supermarket bakeries don't do a lot of wedding cakes. What did he really think he'd be doing?

Honest Reponse needed
by His Excellency inattraction isn't the glue that holds couples together, and there have even been scientific polls and studies taken on this.
that initial attraction *typically* doesn't last more than a few months.
though attraction keeps you interested long enough to get to know someone and build a relationship with him/her.. but my question is this, how long does the attraction lasts in new couples, before they get bored with each-other?..

I'm still attracted to Just Ron after 22 years together. I wouldn't trade him for any other man, no matter how sexy.

Once, I rang the bell and it jammed. The house was well insulated and I couldn't hear it until the lady finally came to the door. She was mad as a wet hen. Sorry Mrs. Merriwether!

GATED COMMUNITIES IN PUERTO RICO: ACCESS CODES and REMOTES must be provided to the WATCHTOWER CORPORATION by APRIL 23, 2013...
by Calebs Airplane inthis case is in it's 9th year an has been touched upon briefly on and off.. the latest from the federal court is that all gated communites in puerto rico have until april 23 to provide the watchtower corporation full access.... this means the entry code or remote control devices that open the front fence.. this is clearly an act of provocation in order to create "pseudo-persecution" thereby increasing fs hours and "voluntary donations"....

I don't understand how the court came to the decision that a private homeowners association cannot bar access to non-residents. Will the courts now force the gated communities to allow the KKK to hold a parade through the streets? Or allow sightseers to cruise around gawking at the fancy houses?
