Welcome Young Witnesses of Jehovah!! In Satan's World today, it is extremely hard to serve Jehovah. I find this even more difficult while being a Young person. As such is the case, we need not fear that our loving God Jehovah, or his Faithful and Discreet slave has forgotten about us. Over the last 20 years they have been featuring an article in the Awake! Magazine entitled Questions Young People ask... These articles deal with a number of topics, that drive the point home quite nicely. I have searched the 2001 CD for a list of Young People Ask...articles and have displayed them here. If you would like to read an article, and do not have the said magazine, please feel free to email me and I will send you the article via email. I hope that we can all as young people be bold and zealous like Timothy and Jeremiah. And thereby assimilate the scripture at Proverbs 27:11 into our lives.
