Also nice to see a few young workers, who said they are dying out? My first thought was "man, they are old." 40 workers - average worker in the work 50yrs? average age to enter 25-30? 25+25-30 = 50-55 (anyone below 50-55 would be young) I reackon about 20 are around that age. Not dying out.. yipee

Not dying out.. yipee In the late 1980's five men went into the workers' ministry in North Dakota. One lasted about 6 months, another about 2 years, a third (me) 2 1/2 years, a fourth three-four years , and a fifth is still in (nicknamed by the workers' friends "the little general"). So, for four of them there is about ten years rounding up. If the fifth lives to be 100 and remains in the workers' ministry say 80 years, that will be 90 years for 5 workers. That is an average of 18 years per worker. You can make numbers do what you want. I count ten young people in the picture. Now, if you want, you can contend there is one oldest person and 39 younger! Hoo-rah!!

Hoo-rah!! Yes, you've used a good example to prove your cause that the workers are dying out. I would'nt dispute that only ten are young. But I would say numbers are steady, mayb a slight fall. However take into considertation.. 1. young workers tend to go abroad 2. older workers tend to be the 'visitors' The majority of workers who remain in the work over 5years, remain for approx 50years. Obviously some do leave after this but as your example proves the one who stayed the longest has remained.

Obviously some do leave after this but as your example proves the one who stayed the longest has remained. Where did you get the idea that I have a cause that the workers' church and/or ministry die out? Please answer that question. I do not know if your two numbered points are accurate or true. I do not know if the average worker of all workers staying a least 5 years will be in the workers' ministry 50 years. That is probably pretty close. Back to the ND days...of ten men with 5+ years in the workers' ministry three died in the workers' ministry (two in retirement) and four are still in the workers' ministry and three left or were forced out (a worker with 5+ years invested who had just left the state at that time was booted out later). Of the 15 women with 5+ years at that time, three remained and died in retirement, one left and died, one remained and died fairly young, four others left or were forced out and 6 remain. As to your last sentence, more accurate is "the one who has remained has stayed the longest".

Is it a trend that the women must show their ears? Do the men find it sexy or something?
The Bible said that women's hair is a covering, the hair on the women workers sure is not used as a covering. To put it up and expose their necks like that surely is not what was meant when Paul said that a women's hair was her covering. So might as well cut it short as short hair mostly covers the neck and ears.... their hair is not worn long. I think that putting it up disguises whether it is long or not.
