The young ones are leaving in droves!!!
by 1914BS ini hear that many congos are loosing all their young dubs and now only very old dubs are left.
it seems the jws religion is dying out because there are no youngins to replace the aging ms/elder/cos .
the young dubs are very internet savy and would rather play warcraft than go out in the field circus.. i remember a wt study article a couple of years ago that was entitled" when a young person rebels" or something like that - anyone know that mag?.

How BIG a DEAL is no more Saturday working for Bethelites?
by BonaFide inthe first thread is more focused on why the change?, which has some great posts.. but i want to see what you all say about the outcome of this announcement.. for those of us that have served in bethel we can tell you, an announcement like this is big news.
even small announcements at morning worship are whispered and talked about for weeks in rooms, at work assignments, and in the car on the way to the meetings.
analyze and re-analyze.. this is a big announcement.

Does Jehovah care about gay community?
by african GB Member ini have read a lot of jw books without seeing anything on gay and lesbian community.
is there a place for them in this organization?
if jehovah does'nt care about them why does he carry on "creating" them?
