Since he disregarded the elders' "encouragement" to turn down the fellowship offer from Harvard, he's being deleted as a ministerial servant.
He leaves in August.
I'm so happy for and proud of him!

Way to go for your nephew Syl
The Elders did him a favor , onward and upward
and away from that cult
Hopefully while gone, he can see the stupidity of the WTS
and never return to it

Yeah, Jonesy.
Harvard University invests so much in kids from the Black Belt of Alabama.
They made my daughter an offer, but she turned it down.
Little heifer!!

Congratulations to all, good luck to the nephew. What's he going to study. Somehow I don't imagine thinking like a JW will survive four years at Harvard.

Are you serious?! They asked him to turn it down?! This religion is so backwards. I hope a self-guilt-trip does not set in while he his away. Congrats to your nephew!
I am still shaking my head...ridiculous!
