in the watchtower august 15 in the topic: "let the many islands rejoice" appears the following paragraph: .
then, however, it came time for a serious decision.
would i accept a scholarship to go to university?
...many high school students start applying for and receiving scholarships...
No mention of him applying for a scholarship, but it's typical WT to have these stories of being offered scholarships with no mention of applying for them or taking college entrance exams. I received a helpful scholarship, but it was only after I'd already applied and was accepted to university.
the wt society is fond of using the tilt-up method of construction where a network of rebar is made on the ground, concrete poured on it and allowed to cure, then the whole thing is tilted up and voila' you've got yourself a massive big-ass wall ready made.
these walls for several stories-high buildings are indeed massive and weighty so you need a heavy-duty crane to raise into position.. i just heard from an eye-witness ldc volunteer that while there a few weeks ago they had an enormous accident.
the crane tilted and crashed, the only one hurt was its operator.
Construction is a high risk occupation. There have been plenty of accidents at Watchtower that just aren't talked about. They take lots of safety initiatives, but it's not like there are guardian angels flying around the site.
Similarly, a crane tipped over at Patterson working on one of the residence buildings. The weights of the tilt-up panels are painted on them so the operator knows what he's dealing with. A panel was heavier than what was written on it. Crane operator lifted it and started to travel when "timber!", over it went. It was a Watchtower crane. They uprighted it, fixed the crane and the boom.

@ brandnew - I'm pretty sure Jesus hired some good Roman engineers to build him some waterfront luxury condos.

Wait, sorry, I think I have Jesus confused with Emperor Nero. That's it... the GB is doing what Emperor Nero did.

Didn't Rutherford say of that generation, "Millions now living will be thrown under the bus!"?

Is there anything more detailed in the article? In this case, there is nothing said about him being offered a scholarship. There is nothing said about his teachers encouraging him to apply for a scholarship or his teachers even encouraging him to stay in school beyond getting his required certificate at 15 and walking out the door forever. "Would I accept a scholarship to go to university?" Kind of a pointless question when the facts point to him leaving school ASAP.
I think it was in a conversation with Splane that he 'xplained that he didn't like school and was glad to be done with it. But he loved learning and spreading da troof.
