  Looks very colonial era, maybe late 1600's or early 1700's. The houses in the background remind me of Portsmouth.

  What’s the deal with all the Smart-Educated JWs?

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we talk a lot about most jws being uneducated, uninformed, and that they lack critical thinking skills, but in my area there is a lot of jws that went to the university, medical school, law school, and came back to the organization.

  in my circuit, that i know of, we had two electrical engineers, one computer engineer with a ph.d. eight teachers with a bachelors degree and three of those with a masters in education.

  we had two medical doctors, one was a pediatrician who closed his business about 3 years ago and went to bethel.

  I will eat my hat the day you get a European with a masters or phd in philosophy become a JW.

  Ok, diogenesister, sprinkle some salt on that hat.

  I'm originally from Spain, got my terminal degree in Education (Ed.D.) in the U.K. -- does that qualify for being an European JW?

  Actually, I've moved to the States (Massachusetts) where I'm currently working as an Academic Technology Specialist. I was bapt. after I'd had gotten my B.A., got my M.Ed. while serving as an elder--Then the letter about "if an elder or elder's children go to uni' they may no longer qualify for responsibilities and blah-blah-blah" and that helped me start to wake up, go back to school and get my Doctorate's Degree.

  Maybe that explanation absolves you from the hat-eating experience. If not, bon-appetit.

  "If you are teaching intolerance, we WILL shut you down!" English Prime Minister David Cameron

  the prime minister of england made the above statement yesterday regarding any schools that influence youths in a negative manner.. he went on to say that if youths are influenced in a negative manner regarding religious teachings that promote judgement of others (including same sex relationships, etc ) or that look down on other peoples free choice, the government would take action.. i cant find a newspaper article sorry...i just heard it on the radio news.... very interesting though...it may have a bearing on how those who learn ttatt are treated by the organization??
