After reading Behemot's post on the article in the November Awake I decided to do something I rarely ever do. Pick up a Watchtower publication and thumb through it. In the article a scientist Frantisek Vyskocil being interview by Awake on how he came to his belief in God and became a JW. He mentions that he studied with a Pharmacologist who was a JW. Well I have a question for both of these men. My question is do either of them realize that they wouldn't be in the professions that they are in if they had been raise as JWs? Instead of being sent to University their parents would have encouraged them spend their lives going door to door handing out Watchtower magazine and telling everyone that the world was about to end. It amazes me how any educated person could buy into this crap. Don't they realize that if they raise their children the way they Watchtower tells them to their children will not have any of the opportunies that they had but will instead be wasting their lives "pioneering" and working menial jobs.
I used to know a college professor who was a JW. He had two sons. To my knowledge neither of them went to college. I don't think they were given the opportunity. That was a long time ago and I doubt that either of them are still JWs.
