  Good point 20yearfader, my church doesn't water down the bible--but there are many PC churches that have sprung up. My church is pretty hardcore, so if any young people were to leave over doctrine, it would probably be because they are looking for a watered down doctrine that tickles their ears.

  I am not really sure how to answer your question but I will try. Most born in Baptists usually leave over one or 2 things, usually it involves alcohol and partying. These kids want to leave home and party and drink---and they usually come back later on after they are all partied out. Many also tend to find other churches that are more stiff in their worship style--the kind where everything is planned out, and nothing is impromptu.

  It seems like most JW's leave for so many varied reasons, too numerous to name!

  Statistic wise, I can't say who has the greater number of born ins who leave vs. the amount that eventually return.

  Yes and No---The young people I see who come in are typically married, and they come in together at the same time. I would say that quite a few young people leave, but eventually come back. There are not alot of mass conversions, but just here and there. When they do leave the church it is usually for one of the same denomination that just happens to have more contemporary music.

  Some sure, perhaps many--but my churches teach just the opposite, as per the bible. They will be the first to tell you that preaching the gospel will not make you popular, and that most bible believing churches will eventually have just a few members left before the Lord returns---What you are describing is mostly attributed to Big Christendom.

  Christians are leaving, just as the bible predicted. People are being deceived and are falling victim to the very lies of the Devil. The bible says that if the days weren't cut short, even the elect would be deceived.

  That's because Liberals care more about scoring political points than actual suffering and torture. Which is why Muslims can kill, torture, and behead homosexuals and you will hear hardly a peep from the left--but if some fundamentalist church happens to commit the atrocity of speaking out against gay marriage, they will have the full fury of the left upon them.

  This weeks #2 & #3 talk on homosexuality

  after a one year sucessful fade and no longer associated with any congreation, i was visiting my sister this week (who goes to the meeting to please her husband for now; i am slowly planting seeds though) and they decided to year this weeks midweek meeting via the telephone.

  since i was a guest in her house, i sat with them in the living room to hear the meeting.

  to my surprise (especially growing up as a gay jw with still alot of anger in my heart over how i was treated), the talks 2 and 3 where on, of course, homosexualiy.

  why would the wts want to get rid of fence sitter?

  as in, why are weak ones a burden to the cong, isn't that the whole point, to shepherd the flock?.

  does anyone know if the gb gets a paycheck, flies first class, how they vacation?

  A fence sitter could cause others to question and doubt.

  I don't believe the Watchtowers main purpose is making money--if so, they would want a more career oriented, educated flock.

  I believe the main purpose is to spread false doctrine, and destroy any shred of faith outside of that religion. I can't think of any other religion that creates ex members who are heavily atheist and agnostic.

  i've heard about his bombastic, overly patronising, cartoon-ish delivery before, but i'd never actually seen it...until now.

  and i should add, this religion bears little to no relation to the one i left 6 years ago.. .

  They can re-package themselves all they want, but this is still the same lying cult I grew up with!
