From what I hear there probably has been some shift on this aspect in recent years. However, one has to question whether the WT organization would really want people to go to University / High School with access to a broad spectrum of information and being equiped with the tools to think for themselves.

I am not close enough to people within this religion to know what current practise is. All I can reflect on are my experiences in the recent past.

The thing is though that it illustrates the power that these people had at that time. The current issue of the right or wrong of going on the internet is a modern example.

One thing is for sure, I agree with you when you say "I sincerely believe that most do not appreciate that what they advise young people to do stongly influences what these kids do with the rest of their lives". People in positions of influence should be very wary. The irony of course is that many that used to advise me in such a proscriptive way have left the religion because they changed their minds too. Perhaps there is a lesson for others today......
