Where have the young people gone in Indiana? When you can count 30 or more empty seats from where you are sitting? I have been told that attendance was down at McCordsville and Shoals this year.

I had heard that the number of friends were diminishing in Indiana. But also, haven't the number of workers decreased as well? Especially male workers.

You are talking about this whole board right! No... just the handful of busybodies who come here to gossip about the goings on in the fellowship... They have nothing better to do with their time then to post random statements and open ended questions in hopes of snowballing a thread into producing juicy gossip...

With the large numbers of people who are no longer going to meeting, There are several conventions that have an abundance of empty seats.

McCordsville hasn't had an abundance of young people in several years. Also, many of those young people had married and had children.. and dont sit in those sections much... or they've moved away.
And yes, some have left.

So Bryan -- how is stating that the numbers seems to be diminishing, gossip? At our church there is usually a section at the bottom that gives the number in attendance the week before. Is that gossip as well? At this rate, I guess it is gossip as well when the news is reporting that there have been -- foreclosures on mortgages in the past month, -- have been killed in an explosion last week in --. If you don't think this is important fine but other people just might be interested. It's not difficult to look at the worker's lists and see that where there used to be a page full of workers for the state of Indiana, now there are a lot less!

The Shakers also noticed a decline of young folks in their meetings.......Of course they took this as a sign that their's was the Only True Church, due to the Falling Away and Few There Be and Most Despised and Narrow The Way, etc, etc......
