What sanctimonious nonsense.
All i've taken issue with is your organistaions stance about further education, i personally find it rather distasteful. As to how 'hate' fits into it i'm not quite sure how you reached that one.

I’m just wondering because, usually a statement like this one is made by someone who is very young.
A pussy is a weakling .. like you. I dont know what you thought it meant.

What does that verse have to do with educating yourself ?
Do you know that its possible to study, preach the gospel, go to church, feed the poor and life your life as well? What you are is an extremist. Your lifestyle is extreme and dangerous.
Wisdom is not knowledge. Wisdom is the intelligent application of knowledge.
Edit - Luke was a physican. Matthew was a tax collector. I bet those guys were very educated by the standards of the day.

He said it right here:As I said we do appreciate it very much and not all JW's have been JW's all their life's. Many have become JW's later in their years ans still serve society very well in positions that a higher education would allow them.
As I understand from this comment, those JWs who have pursued higher education were likely converts.
i will be stabbing my pancakes as if with a pitchfork in defiance of your statement in future!

What is parasitic is that you discourage higher education yet reap its benefits. Irrespective of whether you pay for this, it is still hypocritical. It would be just as bad if the Pope, after declaring that embryonic research was intrinsically evil, then received that therapy.

Originally posted by Conrau KThat is not parasitic, as i have shown, there are many persons who are Jehovahs witnesses, who take higher education and who are professionals, its a nonsense to sate that they are parasitic, regardless of whether they are converts or have known 'the truth', since birth. Higher education is a conscience matter, what we in fact encourage, is not higher education for its own sake, but that it provides a vocation which makes a person useful to help others spiritually. It is a gross misrepresentation bordering on slander to state otherwise, as i have illustrated in the example of the Apostle Paul, whose course of life we regard as exemplary for a Christian.
