I was wondering because christian schools don't teach what jehovah witnesses believe. Since they (JW's) are the only "true" christians why don't I ever see a JW school?

Schools are expensive to run especially if there is not much government support.
We have no problems with government schools. They do a good job of giving a broad and varied education.
When it comes to religious teaching, we feel that responsibility is that of the family and the congregation.
JW children do not engage in a lot of the various things most other children do such as birthdays, Christmas, Easter, etc but most government schools in most countries will accommodate that.

We do have a meeting once a week called the Kingdom Ministry School that teaches us how to speak in public and how to give discourses before an audience.

It wasn't till ultimately 1931 that this discover grew to become into as quickly as accompanied interior the direction of the corporate before talked approximately as Bible pupils. on the Columbus, Ohio convention, the President, Rutherford, gave a lecture wherein he interpreted Jesus' parable of the workers getting wages of a penny on the end of the day as which potential all the Bible pupils were to be paid their wages - a non secular 'penny' being the style new discover, Jehovah's Witnesses.

Their meetings are their school. I've been to some, and it is like going back to college. Very informative.
