I don't understand, CMan. Are you saying that TWI discourages academic excellence and the goal of graduating from high school? I've been out for ages, but spouse is still in, and I know of a number of TWI affiliated teens who have graduated from high school and gone on to live and study at both state and private colleges.

I remember lcm on SNS basically discouraging a college education. It's "devilish knowledge". Useless. Nothing compared to the Way Corps.
College is for wimps.
. . .
Nowadays their not so discouraging of college. Folks working on Staff have gone to school and earned degrees. Just as long as you remember it the Word and not the World.
This was my situation with the way's leaders that were in my area and the teachings and intimidations of the day. I was told many things about my son, what they thought about him. None of them were good. Had we stayed in twi, he would not have graduated, with the goals he has for sure.
Many of twi's leaders do not communicate back to their leaders what really is going on in the fellowship. They are liars. Or just scared.
You would think that after 20 years in the ministry the Limb coor. would have called me to ask why we left. But no, take the words of liars and thieves against an innocent man.
I had leaders that thought my son was undisciplined and not smart and said that he would not graduate.
Yes education from the 'world' was discouraged, frowned upon and despised by many that had their head up vp's or someone's ***.

That young man is stronger than he looks and has more maturity than his peers, simply because he overcame a majorstranglehold.
He's amazing!
Grats all around!

Hey --- Congratulations to him (especially), and your second son as well!!
You must be a great dad, since you've inspired them to these achievements.
