I'll have you know for a fact that, some of the bibles best teachers were viewed as unlettered, or in our terms, unlearned, or unschooled. So just because you have a degree in theology, does not mean you understand the bible any better. Peter was a lowly fisherman.
So no, Jehovah's witnesses do not have degrees in theology, or attend fancy bible schools, but if you ask anyone if they know the bible, be hard pressed to get a no. Even for those who disagree with us.
This is what I normally tell anyone interested in listening. Compare what we show you about the bible to what you know, or have heard from other Christian faiths. There is not one thing JW's believe, that cannot fully be backed, without a doubt, by the bible. And that should be every Christian's back bone.
