I was one who left just as the door knocking aspect of the New Way was getting underway (Fall 86). I resurfaced in the early 90's. Most of those children I knew and went to YP conferences with were no longer meeting in the local churches. Within the last 5 years some of the ones I knew I reconnected briefly via Facebook. So if you're a Facebook user, I would recommend Facebook as a medium for reaching them.
As an addition I realize the attitude towards young people lost during and after the turmoil is "they were lost to the world" is an inaccuarate and unfair attitude to have. I believe PriestlyScribe has on one of his websites what Minoru Chen had to share regarding the young people from this generation.
