    Judging my the my feelings on the book (and having to give talks out of it) I can only imagine how obnoxious the vid would be

    why yeah its like 6/7 years old. plus the young ppl ask book its self seems out dated to me with some of the statistics and how the times changed since 1988.

    I never saw it from the official source. I did see parts of it through an apostate Web site, and it was basically another pathetic attempt on their part to make sure people get sequestered from the outside world and from the opposite sex. Of course, they don't want people to feel bad, so they make specious reasonings and non sequiturs to make people think it's OK when it's not.

    Oh God yes it was so lame. I was trying to explain to my Mom how those videos are like the gayest thing on the planet, of course she didn't get it because she wasn't born into the Witnesses. There is nothing REAL about those videos at all.

    Actually I thought it was an improvement over those assemblies where they always had the witness kids dressed in skirts and dresses for school and they were getting in trouble for smoking cigarettes or being in line for a R movie. Of course this happening during the time I could name 10 drug dealers in my school and there was like 5 teenage pregnancies in my class...But yeah i thought it was very generalizing of non jw youth...It was pretty hilarious...

    Well, the video on going to college is one of the most disgusting things I've seen. I've got it ready to show anyone who finds it hard to believe that the JWs discourage education.

    Well if it has horrible as the book's presentations....YUK

    The book came out when I was 16, everyone rushed to start "teen"studies. Really if parents hadn't already covered this with their kids, they failed as parents. It confirmed to me just how out-of-touch many were in my KH with their children. I mean look at the contents! I felt it was an insult to my intelligence, best to approach majority of the subjects by 2nd grade not later in life.

    Hey leolia is that up on Youtube by anychance. My Mom was telling me about it, how it has some "good" example of a kid who got a scholarship to play basketball but felt he would "serve Jehovah" and not take it. Is this the same one your talking about?
