I think the WT discourages college and uni simply because it costs a lot of money, money that they can't get their hands on, and people with demanding jobs thanks to their college education have no time to provide a free door to door sales service for WT. 😅

Weren't they meant to create something similar in New York or at least fund it?
WT made promises and never delivered.

Respectfully, the good education you speak of comes from travelling to different parts of the world, where people speak another language and have a different culture.
Classrooms and professors are too limited. Universities are funded by corporations with agendas. It's a cycle that breeds good little tax payers for the State.
I do agree home ed depends very much on the family but I wasn't thinking of JWs in particular, just people in general who encourage child led development and allow kids to learn at their own pace and follow their own interests. Some of the greatest scientists were home educated, considered too slow for school.

I agree, home education is becoming extremely popular for that very reason, especially since the pandemic. People realise that the government is indoctrinating their kids with false information, history books are full of lies, constant pushing about global warming, even Doctors are being instructed to talk to their patients about global warming! It's a barrage of propaganda.

Have you seen a UFO/UAP?
by BoogerMan inthe acronym uap once stood for "unidentified aerial phenomena," until december 2022. .
then the pentagon updated its terminology to encompass "submerged and trans-medium objects.".

I think a large part of the growth is refugees and immigration. Of the 40 years my parents preached here, only one person they brought to baptism was Irish, the rest usually from the UK.

They try to deny their members their god given right to exercise their own free will. In their recent delayed WT they even state that they're allowing people to use their own conscience! They don't have the authority to allow or disallow anyone to use their god given conscience. Even human courts recognise that human right!

"A Jehovah's Witness"
by NotFormer ina very certain distinctive of jws is how they refer to themselves.
"one of jehovah's witnesses".
it's one of those coded jargon thingies.

We arent witnesses of anyone because in the 21st century we haven't witnessed anything, we can't claim to be witnesses of Jesus because we weren't there when he walked the earth, nor were we there when the Apostles performed miracles by holy spirit. All we have at best is hearsay 🤷

There aren't that many Irish witnesses, must of us are 'blow ins' as the local term goes, brought in by parents and grandparents to 'serve where the need is greater' back in the 80s and 90s.
Ireland has been one of the JWs least successful countries for converts, by their own admission.
Too many rules and regulations, Irish people don't like those 😁
