  JW's And Their Education Level

  by Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu in

  2. experiences

  i was thinking about this.... in my congregation, i was literally the only one with universitary education, out of a cong from around 110 people.... and we're very close to a very big university, which makes it even weirder.. on the other hand... sooo many here with their own business, mostly small cleaning businesses.

  cleaning windows, or cleaning somewhere else... painters.... all have jobs that do not require any education level, cos they never had a decent education.. how is the composition of the jw people/congs that you know about?.

  how many painters... cleaners... compared to people with jobs that require higher education?.

  the disdain which the wtbts / gbojw has for higher education is well known among jw's and jw dissenters.

  the specious rationale for such disdain is also well known.

  however, it is a fact that there is no scriptural authority for..... a) prohibiting education at any level for another person.

  underlining is mine.. march 6, 2012 letter.

  pursue divine education:some of our brothers are pursuing higher education, feeling that they can acquire a measure of financial security.

  How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?

  by Julia Orwell in

  i'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.

  as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?

  surely education should come first.
