As far as I know, it has always been that way. I was an elder in the late 1980's. It wasn't made very public..but it was a given in the Pittsburgh area that if you let your kid go to college, you would be removed or encouraged to step down. Being thoroughly brainwashed at the time..........my daughter was stripped of a full scholarship by my wife and myself.......and of course.....my daughter agreed to a certain extent. Now many years after the fact......we know that WE......THE FAMILY OF ME, MY WIFE, AND MY DAUGHTER really wanted her to get this education but....but.......OH MY GOD...........what would the Brothers say? And how would this look to the congregation and organization?
Watchtower BE DAMNED. They have fu#ked up more lives than can be counted.
Yeah..........HappyDad said the F word. I'm also growing sour on other religion at this time. That remains to be said at another point in time.
