Burgeoning? I can see the issue with their aging population, but burgeoning? Notice they do not define what burgeoning is in regards to their youth. In a typical LCG church one or two kids may add 10-20% to their count. But burgeoning?
This week we held online Council of Elders meetings. Several Council members had recently contracted the COVID virus, but all the men (and their wives) had either recovered or were well on their way to full recovery, and the men were able to participate in the two days of meetings. Mr. Rob Tyler attended all the meetings even though it was late night/early morning in Australia. Mr. Ames missed the last meeting due to some surgery needed on his left hand.
One interesting dichotomy that came up during our meetings was how to meet the needs of both an aging population and a burgeoning young population in the Church. Some congregations are experiencing a baby boom as the result of a good number of marriages over the last several years. The Church and ministry need to meet the challenges of serving both young and old.
Mr. Peter Nathan was in town this week and did some recording for this year’s Feast of Tabernacles Behind the Work video. A list of Tomorrow’s World presentations can be found on TomorrowsWorld.org. Your prayers for their success will be appreciated.—Gerald Weston

Come on LCG,
Front up and give us the membership numbers.
That are verifiable and not smoke and clouds.
Open up and be honest and up front with them.
The early church was open and not hid, and its message of salvation in Jesus Christ was open and accessible to all.
Front up, open up.
And start on your road to some credibility.
..how to meet the needs of both an aging population and a burgeoning young population in the Church.
MY COMMENT:
Looks like LCG is going to need DIAPERS for virtually EVERYONE in the congregations!
This is actually tragic. Kids born into these cults are going to have much difficulty in life, and many will travel hard roads or require advanced therapy to correct the damage. The one consistently positive bit of news over the past twenty five years has been that these cults are greying, young people were leaving, and there was no influx of newbies.
how to meet the needs of both an aging population and a burgeoning young population in the Church.
PCG's remedy for young people was to tell the aging population to stop reproducing. Most of them would have the same problem as Abraham and Sarah.
When I was going to LCG the constant narrative was about growth. There was never anyone new at the holy day gatherings that had 5ish area congregations. I never saw new people at the feasts. I don’t believe them, and they never show their work behind their attendance claims.
So wait a minute … Marriages over the last several years? So like maybe MAYBE some new borns or even one year olds? Did they really discuss how to take care of the needs of babies? Really….? Where do you think most of these ministers will be in 10-15 years when those youth actually need to be served? C’mon man…..
Just keep up with your BRAIN WASHING techniques!! It seems to be working MRs!! 😂😂At least in the SHORT TERM!!
