Answer:
The Watchtower Magazine published by Jehovah's Witnesses alerts its readers as to the possible dangers of higher education. While the ultimate decision is up to the individual (and many Jehovah's Witnesses have indeed chosen to pursue further education) the Watchotower encourages its readers to consider the spiritual consequences of this course as well look to biblical principles.



The fact of the matter is that when we consider the life of Jesus Christ, he was a very simple man and he made the teaching of Jehovahs word the prime thing in his life.considering the spiritual dangers associated with higher education; rampant immorality drug usage and the likes are what J.Ws want to avoid.Remember that as humans we can be compared to sponges, we tend to absorb whatever be it good or bad.That is why after careful biblical consideration the watchtower deemed it right to advise to avoid higher education. Also it robs one of the much needed time to preach
