I sincerely worry about these kids, thankfully in the UK there is a means to go back to school and try again at an older age, when you have your own autonomy and not the dictatorial silence of a JW kid.
The big issue is they ate raised poor and ignorant, so acting on one's autonomy is easier said and hoped for than done.
I bumped into a JW family in the local hospital, one I knew well but hadn't seen in some years. The daughter, home schooled for years said she wanted to be a nurse. I asked her how she thinks people become nurses? She shrugged her shoulders. She was 16. That was a year ago and she is about to get married to a JW.
These kids can't spell, can't do math, have no scientific or historical appreciation, have no social skills, don't live in the real world and are expected to survive. A large number of kids from our area began homeschooling just as I went to university. I was told recently that a large number are now on a job seekers government benefit. Though to the unaware it may seem infuriating, to us exjw's it should make us sad.....more lives wasted at the feet of Watchtower.
Shame on the parents who sell their kids future for the reward of their own appeasement of ignorant fears and emotional flaws.
