clarifications for the "questions" forum

Whats an appropriate question that concerns young people?

I don't mean to abrasive, I would just like clarification.

[joris]

questions like "how many young people does it take to change a light bulb?" :D
no seriously, there are some here; maybe the doctrine-oriented questions could just be moved towards study hall... :)
(it's an interesting question though, hope JoeC will respond too)

[Jezz]

haha

yeah there are some questions that should be in study hall, I'm also hoping for clarification on what is appropriate for the study hall too. I really enjoy the doctrine-orientated discussions so I'm hoping they will continue in some fashion at least.

What concerns young people? Questions that hit where they're living at. I think I can best answer this by providing a grouping of examples of existing threads and my opinion on them:

If it involves doctrine, it's better left to the pastor of your church... that's not our place here. It it involves something that you want to have a discussion around, not just an outright answer, then pose the question in the Study Hall.

Now, if it's something that has to do with Youth Quake, like "When's the next issue due to release?" then that's a good one for the Q&A forum. Also, if it's something that hits young people where they're living at, not an abstract thing, but something like "hey, how can I get this rebellious spirit off me?" that would be good for the Q&A forum.
