18 If additional courses are taken, certainly the motive should not be to shine scholastically or to carve out a prestigious
worldly career. Courses should be chosen with care. 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. (Titus 2:1; 1 Timothy
6:20, 21) Further, since the 1960’s, many schools of advanced learning have become hotbeds of lawlessness and
immorality. “The faithful and discreet slave” has strongly discouraged entering that kind of environment. (Matthew
24:12, 45) It must be admitted, however, that nowadays youngsters meet up with these same dangers in high schools and
technical colleges and even in the workplace.—1 John 5:19.
