The total neglect of socializing the young people in the Org is a tragedy and a shame.
The youth are despised--let's be frank about that. They are looked upon with contempt and totalitarian scrutiny.
When I was a JW teen there were picnics, outings and parties. The only "joy" of an assembly was finding some other teen to sit with you---and maybe....(hide your eyes) hold hands during the talk!
Nobody has the courage or loving concern for the best interests of young people at the Kingdom Hall to speak up or speak out.
WHAT OPTIONS do young people have except to sneak around behind everybody's back to have a NORMAL LIFE!?
It is disgusting how the young are vitually set up for a sting?
They are shamed by masturbation, petting and "loose conduct" AS THOUGH the elders never did the exact same thing!!
Double standard? Hell yeah!!
The Watchtower Society is chasing away their own future membership.
