Steph, Adam and Louise are pissed, and not in the Rutherford sense. In this episode we discuss the shocking 'clarification of understanding' that now allows Jehovah's Witnesses to get an education beyond basic compulsory schooling. After decades of young JWs having to scratch a living with bare minimum jobs that do not require any additional education, suddenly the Governing Body has discovered that Galatians 6:5 means people can go to college and university. We discuss the implications, reasons and ruined lives.
