  Checking the WTS media site, Education is featured but unfortunately the extent of Watchtower education is limited to just four topics:
  ======================================================================

  News Releases: Education
  Date Headline
  05.18.01 Bible teaching and education take center stage at three-day conventions of Jehovah's Witnesses
  
  04.02.99 Problem of child abuse highlighted by educational work of Jehovah's Witnesses
  
  11.10.98 Concerned group raises public awareness about important health issue
  
  08.10.98 Concerned group tackles trend of increased suicide rate among youth population

  ======================================================================

  Notice how the word 'education' is used. Is it real eduaction, in the form that the community usually understands education to be?

  Cheers,
  Ozzie

  Ozziepost, you mean that JWs educational work has highlighted the problem of child abuse within the organisation? I have notified a government department to monitor this site as JWs may choose not to notify child abuse (or suspect) cases but handle it for themselves. Can you please send me an email re the location of the BBQ. ta

  Ozziepost, I forgot. Does their education program reveal the high rate of JW suicides and does the health issues cover mental health issues for JWs? Or does it only apply to the general public. Odd that a people, the only ones in the world who supposedly have God's spirit, that so many would choose suicide and have mental health problems 16 times that of the national Ozzie population. Cheers
