Maximus,
Years ago when my children were still teenagers we used to invite the other children in the JW's to our family WT study, we actually had quite a crowd every saturday nite.
We used to breeze through the WT, keep it to a hour max, then we'd just have fun(sing, play guitar, games and what ever). Our house was alway open and people would come and go.
Of coarse I did get flack from my fellow elders, because as I'm sure you know the Society doesn't like any kind of spiritual get to-gether that isn't officially of their making.
But since I was an elder the brothers let it slide.
And I'm sure you know how the Society feel about large gatherings that don't have the strictest supervision. They really do their best to discourage it.
Their were brothers and sisters that kinda sponsered these gatherings(be it bowling or rollerskating) and usually were given counsel to not do it again.
So is it any wounder why so many youths are leaving?
All the WT wants is free labor from these kids, someone that will give up their time and future for the growth of the Organization and if they step out of line bang DF.
