I wonder what JW doctors think about the ' no higher education' mentality ?
Are there any known JW doctors?

Despite the fact that Luke, a bible writer who had one of the Gospels, was a doctor, anyone who is studying to be a doctor is going to get a series of calls from Brother Hounder. It takes too long to study to be a doctor when we are in an EMERGENCY, needing everyone out in field circus every second. And they showcase people that give up this career, thinking they could have done bloodless surgery, when the hounders get them to pioneer instead.

There is a well know JW doctor from a nearby congregation. He has a practice in my city. I heard that he's served at bethel as a doctor a few times.
There's also a well known lawyer in the area too.

I know three doctors, all converts. One is a female pathologist, one is combined doctor and psychologist and one was converted by his biology brother, started at bethel with his nurse wife and quit there again. The daughter of the former PO in the congregation I used to attend, is opting to study medicine (I learned that from "spying" on her facebook). Oh, how things have changed in JW land since I was on her age, I had been conscience for attending grammar school. And did not pursue higher education due to what was taught at the meetings and written in the literature. My parents would not have denied me. It was enough what I was thought.... In retrospect, I realize it was good for JWs who were non-achievers at school, but for those of us who did well (I was a top student), it was indeed a sacrifice.

Why! How can a whole hospital have this in place. I can understand a physician but the whole freakin hospital? Thanks for the info. Good to know.

Thanks VM 44
I guess he served as the Bethel doc? How does that work? I wonder if he was payed any different than the others or if he was an actual medical doctor.

I know of a heart specialist who is a JW. I'm not sure if he converted before or after studying.

Doesn't it just gripe you about how they condemn higher education, but then love to make use of those who have it.

freyd you have no idea how bad that chaps me. The double standards are endless. I think it is one of the reasons my hubby hasn't furthered his career.
