    (bookmarking) I might show this article to my very wealthy boss. He knows that I did not complete college and it will help him to understand why I was under the WT's spell not to finish college, I just do not have any interest to go back to school and I am content with what I have. He is a good guy.

    This goes under the premise from the 1960's and 1970's when many college students (actually the general population) seemed to be using mj and lsd and fornicating. The WTS flipped out but failed to realize that jw kids were being exposed to the drug culture and fornicating at their secular work just as much. Yet the WTS would not suggest that they stay home and not work and let their parents and welfare pay their way. How could they ever earn money to donate to the WTS?!

    Yeah, 60's and 70's campus life got crazy, but while drugs played a role, this was also a time and place where ideas were being considered and shared like never before. I mean, generation gaps are the norm, but this really was new---every single insititution and assumption came under critical scrutiny. This never boded well for the WT. I really think their aversion to higher education was less about drugs and sex and way more about the acceptablility of and even expectation that each student would question everything and then were free to disagree. The drugs and sex were just handy excuses.

    I know my wife was surprised by the kids she saw when she visited campus with me. Not by snotty, foul mouthed, provocatively dressed hoodlums, but by a bunch of NICE KIDS who we would feel perfectly comfortable with inviting to our home. There are kids from the hall who I don't even want to know where I live.

    As for as the anti-college bullshit they slipped into this article, YOU CAN GO FUCK YOURSELVES WTBTS. Enjoy a future of decreasing contributions as your non-educated masses struggle just to get by and can't afford to put as much in the contribution boxes.

    It's all about INFORMATION CONTROL versus CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS.

    Can you imagine the mental state necessary to write such garbage.

    It does make one wonder.
