The Watchtower, “Education With a Purpose”
“So no hard-and-fast rules should be made either for or against extra education. … This magazine has placed emphasis on the dangers of higher learning, and justifiably so, for much higher education opposes the “healthful teaching” of the Bible.”
Allows supplementary education where needed to support pioneer service while warning against 'a prestigious worldly career'.
