To amplify, they had/have God in their lives, simple as that. Oh my!
I really didn't expect anything new but I really did think you just might come up with something a little different than the multiple reasons I have heard.
But it is really just the same old canard dressed a little differently. They would give the reason we left as; "Well you know they never did really understand what it meant."
When a group of people must keep intact their view of themselves as an elite, -they have to do some kind of rationalization to maintain their feeling of superiority.
So, -you see, speak -you needn't have worried about upsetting me. As I said, I have heard them all before.
Well it seems that they may have been right then as it seems.

Only seems that way to you because you are also trying very hard to believe that you are among the elite and in order to do so you need to denigrate others.
You have been wearing your (self) righteousness on your sleeve for a long time.

Yes, it did have to do with the 2x2 CHURCH! I don't know your age or how long you family history may be in the 2x2's.
But my family history goes back to the early 1900's Yes, NOW, they may have university qualifications!
I even know one of the friends is a woman DOCTOR! gasp! And here I, on the other hand, had to defy the 2x2 system to even become a nurse.
I know on man whose parents listened to the workers and didn't help him a pursuit to be a doctor and he would have been a great doctor.
What -you only go back to the early 1900's -flip your just new on the block then. Actually if you read the title of the thread it says why ARE the friends and workers... not why WERE-so we are apparently talking about the present. You on the other hand seem to forget that the world is moving on. In Australia and NZ I would say more of the 2x2 kids go to university than the norm. When my siblings (who are well on in years!!) went off to university it was not the 'friends' that tut tutted but the locals. So DMG that is my experience -just as 'right' as yours!! I don't believe that I said anything about your experience not being "just as 'right' " as mine!!
Just how do I "seem to forget that the world is moving on?" Didn't I say, -"Yes, NOW, they may have university qualifications!"?
So, the title of the thread is "WHY ARE THE WORKERS/FRIENDS AGAINST EDUCATION." Does that mean that I should not be able to speak as to what it WAS in my time? Or is it that you don't want to hear it?
I'm not "denying" your own experience.
Are your siblings "who are well on in years," as you say, -are they as old as I am, -87? I am only telling my own experience at my time growing up I the Truth, -if that bothers you, please just ignore it.
Actually, I am very glad that things have changed & the young people are more free now.
PS:
Your statement; "What -you only go back to the early 1900's -flip your just new on the block then," I'm just curious, but how did your family in Australia or NZ manage to profess before the early 1900's?

Getting on in years and in Janj's part of the world, it was definately not the norm for professing folk to go to university when I was young in the 60s and 70s. I distinctly remember my cousin who wanted to be a teacher and being with her when professing folk were trying to talk her out of it. She did it anyway. In fact I do remember 2 who became teachers. Higher education was spoken against with the reading of many books there is no end and man's wisdom among other things being preached. Sport was also preached against back then. I'm glad to hear it's not these days. I can't recall off hand any professing person who went to university back then except these 2 although one was teachers college and not university. I remember someone left meetings and then went to university after they left. I also went after leaving meetings. If your siblings went to university janj, did you? If not, why would they go and not you? Most kids go to university or do some kind of tertiary study these days, I wouldn't say professing kids more unless you don't mix with outsiders much.

No they are not as old as you. I said 'getting on in years'- not ancient!!😉🙂 I am not going to continue to argue but I know many people of retirement age and older that I grew up with that have a university education. No they may not be 87 but they have been around a fair while. My family did not originate in New Zealand, in fact no one here did- my family were still in Ireland in the early 1900s. Yes, they professed about that time too.I forgot that most of you dont get Kiwi sarcasm.

I think it was starting to change when I was just out of high school, but it could have been very different depending where you lived or maybe the mindset of your parents. I wasn't encouraged to continue my education, but I was discouraged from anything that was considered a 'man's' occupation. My father was a teacher so maybe that's why? It was okay for me to get my RN training but not be a doctor. I am glad it's changing for the younger generation. I did university when a lot of my friend friends didn't but then I was no longer professing and on my own so I could do what I wanted in that regard possibly easier than they could? I ended up majoring in psychology and never did do my RN.

Yes I agree that some people didn't think higher education was a good thing, but I was just trying to point out that neither did a lot of 'ordinary'people at that time. It was just not limited to the 2x2s I decided to go down another path that didnt require a university degree. Is that OK with you??😉 That's quite hilarious that you think I don't mix with outsiders!!

Had my parents not defied workers and helped as much as they could, -I would not have been able to go to nursing school.
My parents had had to live hardscrabble all their lives & knew how much education could change that for us and was determined that we would have as a good education as possible.
Janj, you say that "some people didn't think higher education was a good thing but I was just trying to point out that neither did a lot of 'ordinary'people at that time. It was just not limited to the 2x2s."
Perhaps that may be true-however, -the difference between 'ordinary' people' and the '2x2's ' was that the workers purposely did not WANT young people to get any more education than the law required. They preached that 'higher learning.'
Also Jani, I don't understand why you think it, "That's quite hilarious that you think I don't mix with outsiders!!" Because we were also definitely not supposed to 'mix with outsiders' anymore than absolutely necessary.

Being reared as a foster child I grew up being told I was STUPID! During my early childhood I really believed my name was "knothead!" I didn't apply myself and I gave up on EVERYTHING in school. NOTHING was interesting to me. Most of my teachers HATED my twin and I. The teachers beat on us with boards once a week at least and for no reason. I know we were very shy, and good kids. It wasn't until we got clear away from the truth, went to live with a Methodist family, that we finally realized we had a BRAIN! My step-Dad let the school know he would SUE any teacher who gave us the board or even touched us! Life became different then... We started taking flying lessons at the local airport and learning the associated math skills. Math came easy for us both then. If I had the education back then that I have now I could have achieved much more in life. Will someone please explain to me why the Friends and Workers are against education? Speaking as one of the 1st years in the millennial generation, I would say that this hasn't in large been the millennium experience. Though I've heard that the prior couple generations were encouraged not to attend college. I have heard spoken a lot about the insufficiency of "earthly knowledge", and maybe once or twice an off hand remark about the evils of college corrupting young minds, but mostly I think that is a thing of the past. At least in my experience. For those of us who a watch from the outside and are concerned about the well being of people who are still part of it, this is very very encouraging. I don't know what worker(s) decided that it was wise to encourage prospective new workers to get to a college degree of at least 2 years prior to entering the work, but whoever they are, they deserve a pat on the back!

Right. Many young workers in the past went into the work quite young without any outside experience or education in how to make a living.
If they became ill or just became disillusioned, & left the work they had scant means of caring for themselves in the outside world.
I know at that tender age, I also wanted to go into the work. However, I wanted to become a nurse first.
Looking back, -I believe that desire to become a nurse before I went into the work was the reason for the many obstacles that were thrown in my way by the elder of the church & the overseer of the state.
They wanted to "test" me. I have always been glad that I survived their obstacles.
I have often wondered how many young people eventually became disillusioned but dared not leave the work because they realized how difficult it would be for them in the cold outside world.
PS: I never went into the work and am ever so glad now!

You have been wearing your (self) righteousness on your sleeve for a long time.Are you for real? You really must be feeling real inferior to write and believe that claptrap.

I've answered you up a bit.

I must have missed your answer, -would you please repeat it?
Since you said to me that I must be " new on the block," -I really would like to know just how that could be since my maternal grandmother & grandfather professed through Lizzie McGreggor who came from Scotland to the US in 1905.
When did the workers come to you area?

Since you said to me that I must be " new on the block," -I really would like to know just how that could be since my maternal grandmother & grandfather professed through Lizzie McGreggor who came from Scotland to the US in 1905.
When did the workers come to you area?
Cut n paste from previous answer My family did not originate in New Zealand, in fact no one here did- my family were still in Ireland in the early 1900s. Yes, they professed at that time too.I forgot that most of you dont get Kiwi sarcasm. When you say early 1900's janj ...how early do you mean ? So your family would have known Irvine ?

Okay, that is interesting janj, my late ex husbands family were in Ireland back then as well. Can't remember what year they professed though.

Really? How & where did you "answer?"

I'm sorry, -I did miss seeing your first post.
So your people did profess before mine!
Now I will accept the "honor" of being a new kid on the block!
I'm glad to know that not all 2x2's in other areas of the world had to put up with the restrictions that we had to endure here in US mid-west.
My experience was what it was for other young people here. I was only the second one in our whole state of Illinois to get my RN license. I graduated from High School in 1950 and from Nursing School in 1953.

In the early days, women were discouraged from going to high school. And some religions of that era may have felt like a lady shouldn't be in high school, I dunno. It isn't an issue today. And some professors do try to brainwash youth in various ideologies. What are the titles of the courses where professors brainwash people? I think the title is GAY AND LESBIAN SEX EDUCATION 101

College freshmen are far more apt to need counseling for sexual harassment than education on their sexual orientation.
