As far as education, I've met people with no education who were wise and smart.
College does help with logic and critical thinking. Philosophy and sociology classes were key to me understanding illogical thinking and group behavior. In my philosophy class, we had to draft a commercial based on illogical argument structures (circular reasoning, strawmen, etc.). Looking at WTS publications was never the same after that class.
Sociology was important, eye opening experience too. Ever wonder why people always ask, "Did they miss me at the KH? Did you tell them how sick I was?" After sociology, I looked at my sister's comments in a whole new light, pardon the pun.
As for the Bible, there are some wise things in it. Just like is in other religious texts. There are also some kooky things in it. Just like in other religious texts. The Bible says it's the word of God, just like other religious texts. But, history shows that the Bible is not the only Hebrew books out there. Taking the Bible literally without examining these other documents is like reading a travel book but never visiting the country. The WTS puts too much emphasis on the Bible and does not take innto account the other religious texts.
AS for God, I think there is a creator. But, he's not the Jehovah that the WTS preaches. I am agnostic.
I wish Mr. Majestic the best on his spiritual journey. Too bad he needs Rennai for backup. I am not trying to convert either. But, I do wonder why they are disobeying the WTS and come here to post and sprawl with those who reject the WTS as the Supreme Authority on our Creator.
