I met Nathan Knorr several times, heard him speak...okay but nothing to write home about. He didn't think he was a great speaker. just got the job done. Now everyone waited to hear what FRED Franz had to say because he always went off the script with "views" into the new system. The last time I met Nathan Knorr was after he knew he had cancer and it was terminal; strangely he regretted leaving the earth before Armaggeddon; he wanted to see it on earth. I thought that was strange since the anointed were going to see it from a comprehensive earthly view and fight side by side with Christ (at least that is the WTS view). Maybe he was thinking he was in charge on earth and would only be a new boy in heaven.
Does he look like Nathan Knorr? little bit?

Given that he followed both Russell and Rutherford to the top of an unseemly totem pole, Knorr was always going to be dogged by having a bland personality by contrast. How can you top Russell for slippery, full-bearded charm and Rutherford for foul-mouthed religious vitriol?
SFPW has chosen the least objectionable and memorable figurehead from that Jehovian "Trinity".

Brother Knorr was a good brother. I miss him, but I'm sure I'll benefit from his direction in the near future.
If you're ever in the john, and you hear a voice telling you how to urinate without touching your willy.....
...that's him!

Nathan Knorr had issues about men's penises, he'd go on ranting about masturbation and not touching one's willey while going pee, and certainly not looking sideways if you were at the urinals, that could lead to homosexual ideas. Also he was very insensitive of other's views, feelings and knowledge.
In CoC you can find out how Knorr treated Ed Dunlap (Gilead Instructor) very badly when Ed had a nerve problem in the face and side of his head that was quite painful, Knorr transferred him to work in the printery which acerbated the pains.

Wasn't Knorr who came up with bright idea that young men should sleep
on their backs in order to prevent strange and unclean feelings in their
private part.

Just think we rubbed elbows with men that would soon be with Christ in the heavens. It's amazing!
Please tell me you have some understanding of just how nauseating this statement is.

My mother used to tell me about a "brother" who left the organization after Knorr became president because Knorr used to make beer with a bunch of bethelites during prohibition.
I think they called it Bethel-Lite.
