The ministry, so-called, is a black hole with an inferiority complex at its center. Everything goes in, and nothing comes out. I told this story before so bear with me: several years ago I visited my old "local church", and saw that the building was the same, the piano was the same, the songs were the same, many of the older characters were the same.

But you know what I noticed? No young adults. They were all either "in the world" or they were "serving the ministry". Seems that you either got vacuumed up by Anaheim and put in service at some ministry outpost, or you just couldn't make it, spiritually. Actually, there's nearly nothing local at all about the local churches of Witness Lee. They're merely feeders for the ministry.
