"Jehovah's organization provides the best education..."

Doesn't it just irritate you to the highest degree when someone makes a remark as stupid as this? Since when did "Jehovah's education" ever taught you anything significant other than to be a tool and a slave for the WTB$?

.......its been along time since i heard that line. What was it the 1970's? I didnt believe it then given the variety of cultures family dynamics and industry in different countries.

A lot of JWs I know say it. I wonder if they really believe it.

Really now?

Give me the name of a credible scholar in the organization.

Show me a peer reviewed paper published by the organization.

Show me some evidence that organization educated people have the best scores of standardized tests.

Waiting......

"Jehovah's organization provides the best education."

Sounds like something a cult would say.

Depends on how one defines the word "best."

Absolutely! Just look around at the blank faces at the KH and assemblys. Don't they seem like a bright bunch? Those window washers really know their Bibles.

I wish they would guard the words they use, it was apparent this education is not helping in the field ministry. Witnesses are not comfortable engaging in basic door stoppers, propaganda worked well before we could check things on the internet!

Best education? LOL An elder said once that Africa was a country.

Reading 4 years of the Asleep! rag is supposed to be like a university education. It wasn't back when I was in, and it was 2 full-size rags per month. You want to learn about something in depth? You are likely to get a 3- or 4-page article that glosses some of the highlights, but nothing useful. Nothing about science, either--could you design something simple like a LED light bulb with a University of Asleep education? If you attend a real university and take the right courses, you could--and that is a very simple item to design, compared to what many other engineers have to design.

Add to that the shorter rags (16 pages instead of 32), and only one per month, and you are getting a pretty lousy education. The Washtowel rags are not much better, unless you are trying to get an education of what happens when Judaism and Christi-SCAM-ity collide. You are not going to get educated about anything to a degree that will do you any good. From the Washtowel, can anyone find their way around Jerusalem? Remember, Jerusalem is the place they claim to reference to in Jesus. What about Auckland?

Other features are even more useless. I have been to enough a$$emblies to know that they stress how to pious-sneer despite major hardships. How, but not why. You learn how, but not why, to avoid the opposite sex. You learn that part time work is "enough", but not that it isn't enough to actually make it. There are fake experiences. There are plenty of discussions on avoiding everything that abides with nature and doing everything against nature instead. Hardly a useful education.

Wonder how many of these highly-educated JWs are discovering the secrets of the universe at CERN?

How many are researching a cure for cancer or altzheimers?
