Found this in the studies in the scriptures
by Tobyjones262 inin the book atonement i found this.
"christian people are becoming more and more awake to the fact that a great tidal wave of unbelief is sweeping over christendom.
not the blasphemous kind voiced by thomas paine and robert ingersoll, but the cultured kind represented in the scholarship of our day with makes the danger all the more insidious.

Does home schooling really work?
by eyeslice2 init strikes me that 'home schooling' is something often favored for jw kids, i've come across a number of families that do just that lately.
and, that got me thinking, is this just a cop out for a proper education?.
i am sure it is pretty difficult for a home schooled kid to get into a good university to study something like law or medicine.
