He did not choose Jehovah`s Interests or Kingdom interests first , he chose money and fame along with it`s perks instead , is he a good role model for the youth of JW`s , to put Kingdom interests first in their lives ?
Is he still in good standing amongst JW`s ? of course he is , he is up their next to Jesus now especially among the youth.of the football world.of jehovah`s Witnesses.that a great many follow.
This makes my blood boil when as a teen I loved to entertain and play sports but I did the right thing by the WT standards and didn't pursue these activities as a career, only now to see how others that pursued their dreams and in the end have been rewarded financially. Maybe I would not have been good enough in these activities to become professional but I will never know. The worst thing is to have ones dreams crushed by some diluted old mans dream and as you get older your chances are gone forever.
