Maximus:I appreciated your post – since I don’t get a KM anymore, I have no idea what current crop of crap is being served up in that not to be missed newsletter.
Several have made outright statements and others have suggested that the Society's negative position on higher education has changed.
Though your questioned was posed sarcastically, the answer is: of course they haven’t changed, and on this topic they never will. Highly educated slaves have never been in wide demand. Although there are exceptions of course. In my area, the game for parents who want to see their kids get an education is the old “you can go to school if you pioneer” dodge. How sad to think that many will sacrifice their children’s future to avoid looking “weak” to the congregation. Even just a few years ago, it was considered an open challenge to the authority of the slave to seek a university degree. I suppose it makes you look like you don’t REALLY believe the end is near, or at least you’re hedging your bets, ha, ha.Yes, the WTS is a rather all or nothing bunch. If the ship is going down, it’s going down with all hands on board. Bon Voyage.
