CRISIS:
This doesn't surprise me and I believe I have heard this before. They DO educate those who they want. But this doesn't address why they should begrudge people in the congregations who are paying for their OWN education. After all, the average JW is not asking the religion to pay for their children's education.
Bottom Line as I see it: the religion doesn't want YOU (i.e. the average JW) to get an education if it will make YOU smarter, richer, happier. They would rather see you illiterate, poor, starving and dying prematurely --------However, it DOES want YOU to get an education if it will benefit THEM DIRECTLY.
How's that for selfish and not to mention hypocritical.
