Why don't JW's have their own school for young people?

We've had a few posters on the board that were in JW schools. There have been at least a couple of threads about their experiences
If I come across them I will put them in the Best of so they can be easily found

Tired of the Hypocrisy
In Albuquerque and Sacramento they had witless schools.

Billy the Ex-Bethelite
I knew a sister that had briefly attended a JW school. She said it didn't last long since the teachers and parents couldn't agree on what textbooks should be used and what should be taught. Lots of squabbles, kinda like an elder/elderette/parent free-for-all.

They did. Some of my older family members went. The way I understood it, it was run like a private school and had certified jw teachers that taught. The issue was (as I understand it) the WTBTS did not like the fact that they did not have TOTAL control. After several years there was a local needs talk that pretty much said the WTBTS does not support this, so the next "school year" no one enrolled their kids and the school was no longer in existence.
It is like the "sister" I use to be friends with (until I had the balls to question the "elders" and she shunned me ... even b/4 I became inactive) who did Bethel tours. That was her specialty. She received a letter from the WTBTS telling her to shut down her business because she was competing w/ Jehovah's directed organization (who also had its own sponsored tour company and got a kick back from the "sponsored" tour company). When she refused to do it, they wrote her local hall, her elder husband was told to get his wife in subjection and if he did not he would be removed and then a local needs talk was given. So guess what happened ... yup, all the jws started cancelling their trips.
What a loving group of lemmings.

Ohhh, ohhh. I remember now also what happened. There were horrible rumors (which were later confirmed) that the elder who was running it was behaving inappropriately with the young girls. Come to find out that he was in fact having an "affair" with his daughters best friend, from the time she was 14 until she was 18 when she made it public. No, he was never reported to the police. Rather, they disfellowshiped the girl (because she tempted him with her jezebel ways) and he was "marked" and removed for a while.

All of the above, not to mention, witness parents consider it an honor to Jehovah to watch their children suffer "persecution" by being a social outcast among the "worldlies". Sick but true. I even remember having that said to me as a young kid, "Well, the bible said we would be persecuted" my mom smiling a proud smile, how messed up is that? LOL

They want the witlesses to suffer. If they have to watch other children play in school and sit to the side, so much the better. The same for holiday parties. And if they flunk tests because of being too tired after a boasting session (especially with the hounder-hounder or equivalent) the preceding night, all the better. Then they will not learn math and science enough to use in figuring out that Jehovah is nothing more than Trouble, and that the Washtowel Slaveholdery is a big fat lie.
