It is ok to be a bible scholar of whatever hue suits you, as long you dont assume that the work has anything to do with the grand scheme of the cosmos. It is just guesswork, ancient science fiction.

....and there lies the core part of the problem, delusional people who think they uniquely have a special connection to the supernatural creator of the entire universe.
add with that human ignorance and outside secular knowledge and you have the makings for a folly of problems for humanity ,........sound familiar ?

Was he really a "Bible Scholar" - I don't know but like everything in WT world it's hard to believe. I read somewhere he'd only completed a semester of koine (?) greek but who knows if that's fact and should be long enough to translate your own interpretation for a tax free org. Didn't he attend Oxford for awhile.

What he really was was a pseudo novice bible scholar that got most of his bible scholarly training from another novice C T Russell, the past president of the WTS.
He stayed with the organization long enough to be vice president and then president of the WTS. The JWs organization was built and created by people who accepted these guys bible interpretations, even though they were quite obviously not academically trained bible scholars. ........the rest is history -

My eighty-plus-year-old PIMI Mom still believes he was a Rhodes-qualified academic.
