About a week or 2 ago (well, maybe 3 or 4 by now) I got involved in a rather heated debate about the validity and usefulness of YSA wards and branches. Essentially what happened is that it started as a question on why 50% of all 18 year old girls go inactive instead of transitioning to the Relief Society (the number went unsubstantiated, based solely on 1 stake's stats). After a little bit the originator of the debate claimed that it was the YSA program's fault, and after painting most if not all of us YSAs as ward-hopping, calling-avoiding, responsibility-shirking, pleasure-seeking hedonists I got involved. It got even uglier from there, but after banging my head on the desk for a day or so I gave it up (needless to say, the originator just had to get the final word.)
While I've given that thread up, I've still been thinking about it, and someone necroposted in it, so I thought I'd get some of your thoughts here.
If you want to read the thread in whole, it's here.
Irayo!
