I find it really sad what the LC has become. It's not that there is an absence of young adults, if you go to certain LC's you might see a lot of young adults, but the reality of it is they are mostly FTTA graduates who know how to "play church". At least in the old days, the LC atmosphere was something that could be created without sending people off to Anaheim for two years.
In this day and age, with many companies outsourcing work to third world nations, it doesn't a college graduate any good attending FTTA two years and them looking for work.
If I was a recent college graduate in the local churches, I wouldn't consider FTTA unless there's guarantee of full time support upon FTTA graduation.
