Responding to the OP, the GB does view this as a problem. The churn rate for youth is super super high. One of the best things to do is get them super indoctrinated at a young age.

German Branch visit talk Mark Sanderson (Parents; don't hinder young children to get baptized)
by Daniel1555 inthe video streaming of the german branch visit program was excrutiating 3.5 hours long.. i just went to see the last 45 min (part of mark sandersons talk).. i think sanderson is quite a sympathetic speaker and he kind of made a loving impression.. he didn't mention controversial stuff (except for one thing i will come to soon).
he mostly talked about how to find joy, even when life is not easy, and how much the gb loves the rank and file.. one point seemed soooo important to him.
parents and children.

that's absolutely not a document used by JWs or WT. Looks like that website copy pasted parts of the usual advanced medical directive and added in their own stuff. -

Who are the people in JW TV videos?
by HappyDad inout of curiosity, i have caught a glimpse or two of the "drama" style videos.
are the ones in these televised "dramas" jw's or did they hire actors for the job?
i can't see the average jw being able to do acting as good (if you will call it good) as some of these people.

For videos and photos, they use 'exemplary' people in Bethel and congregations in the area. They actually have files on these Witnesses and they note if one of them is no longer exemplary. If that happens they will replace them in photographs whenever they update the publications. The most notorious publications for this are the Young People Ask books (for obvious reasons).
I'm guessing it's too expensive to do this for videos but I'm sure it would happen if feasible.

Can someone post the CO congregation checklist for when the 'inspect' halls? I remember a section in the newest one regarding the new contributions. There's something in there that basically asks "Is the congregation paying their promised $$$. If not, why?" I swear there was also something in there that is like, "Is this congregation really contributing what they can? Can they give more?" -

What do you think? Should chimpanzees be granted 'personhood'?
by fulltimestudent inthere's a current court case in ny which is hearing that question right now.
the precise issue is the continued captivity of two chimpanzees, (leo and hercules, names bestowed by humans) in a medical research laboratory at stony brook university.. i suggest that the application has some merit.
are not all of us "animals?

Evidence based folks: what is your stance on GMO's and why?
by cappytan inso, the anti-gmo movement scored another victory today.
chipotle has opted to only use non-gmo food items.. hooray for them.
i'm pretty neutral on the subject, mostly because, other than questionable treatment of farmers, i have seen no evidence to avoid gmo's for health reasons.. basically, my neutrality boils down to the stance that i'll buy non-gmo, so long as the price is reasonable.
