I haven't read a thing ....
Younger people don't go to church
(anyone's guess and a million reasons why not ... it doesn't matter)
Church is where proper and spiritual moral values are (supposed) to taught and WITNESSED (because of adult example)
The adults that ARE in church too often look no different than going shopping ... except maybe pressed and a little cleaner
Bottom line;
No one's teaching, No one learns.
The female has ALWAYS been the mysterious one, but not anymore, so there's no intrigue to chase and hunt (sorry for the metaphore)
It's a viscious spiral down ... women don't morally entice, men aren't that interested, women are taught to confuse sex with allurement, men lust, people hook up, but so do dogs

Even many pastors look that waY Now- What a stark difference between Dr Charles Stanley, and his jean wearing, nearly anything goes son Andy Stanley- I won’t even listen to his son- He’s not a preacher, he’s a feel good therapist- Dr Stanley however gives a good solid message- nothing fancy- just straight word of God for htem ost part
Was talking with a friend who said they allow their kids to watch andy Stanley because ‘the kids like his teaching style’ and they find Dr Charles Stanley too dry- and ‘boring’ - so I decided to listen to a couple of Andy’s sermons and oh my word- what I heard was appalling- I got l ooking online, and some of his theology is WAY off- He’s trying to be a ‘friend to all’ and doesn’t condemn anyone- even looking the other way regarding gay couples apparently- (You can find his heresy ideology on gay marriage online- it’s appalling- )
And women today don't seem to understand how valuable that mystery is. They act crass and tacky and think it's sexy. It just makes them look cheap.
From The Gods of the Copybook Headings...
...On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.”
