Firpo is .... well let's just say Firpo is a JW author with a black activist bent who is friends with the Jackson family, the Governing Body member who is black (whatever his name), etc.
Just go to the link in post#1, or plug his name into this site's search function. Reading about Firpo is like reading Mad magazine.
Firpo is simply dying to be important ... to someone ... to anyone.

Firpo can smell a publicity a mile away.
See his website for photos of him with various Jackson family members, Jacko's attorney, and even Bill Clinton.
Firpo even managed to get his photo in a Watchtower on page adjacent to page with the black GB member.
Now, Firpo's a LA Radio Talk Show Host. What's next? MTV?? -

Reckon Firpo finally DAed? The WTS doesn't have the guts to DF him.
After you read his Bio, click on his website link and go to his "Bill Clinton" webpage which tells how Firpo interrupted Clinton's booksigning to talk about his own book.
Then, click on the JACKO page.
Firpo's motto is: "If noone else will pat me on the back, I'll just do it myself." -

but absent always was his wife, mary, not to mention his son, malcolm as well.. ok, rutherford was so well known, why did no one inquire about his son and wife?.
when rutherford resided at beth sarim in san diego, why was his wife not there with him?

Here is another Watchtower quote that shows that Malcom Rutherford was an active Watchtower supporter. This excerpt is from J.F. Rutherford's letter to Russell re the Troy Debate, which was published in the May 1, 1915 WT. This proves that Malcom Rutherford was working alongside his Dad at least some of the time. Probably more. Malcom simply was not getting mentioned in the publications for his work with both CTR and JFR.
"I shall never be able to thank you as I would like for the letter which was signed by yourself and all the Bethel family, assuring me of your united and continued prayers in my behalf. The Lord reward all of you. This is but a reminder of the unity of the body and the sweet relationship we are privileged to enjoy here. How much sweeter it will be in the Kingdom! Brother Woodworth suggested that there must be great interest in Heaven in this debate. The Lord be praised for it all. I am thankful indeed that He was pleased to use me to glorify His dear name in any manner. Brothers Woodworth and MacMillan sat with me on the platform as counsel, and my son was by my side to take anything quickly that I desired and to prepare the copy for me without delay. All rendered valuable service. The Lord arranged it all.

IDEA For A NEW Watchtower Related Website
by West70 inas has been previously pointed out, international copyright law is extremely complex, and interpreting such is a specialty.
therefore, i do not claim that the following "idea" for a new watchtower related website will comply with international copyright laws, but it just might.
possibly, at this point in time, there is a need for a new discussion board website, which specializes in discussing what the wbts has previously published on various topics.

AS:
I don't know alot about operating a website, but I assume you are referring to obtaining a "freebie" so as to not have to provide identity, credit card info, etc.
If so, there is a major problem with that strategy. Providers of freebie webspace will delete the website at the first complaint of copyright violation.
I am trying to provide an idea for website formatting that will provide the desired content, yet not violate international copyright laws.
Such a website should be hosted by an actual person using a webhost in a country where the WBTS has no clout with law enforcement. An attempt to shut this website down should be expected by the owner, so they should be someone willing to tell WBTS to bring it on -- the purpose of my website is to provide excerpts of material requested by unknown parties, and allow unknown parties to comment on such -- all in quantities permissible under the "fair use" doctrine. -

For those willing to undertake this as a project, it will be up to that group of individals to decide the formatting, etc.
HOWEVER, please reconsider my suggestion that the "Poster Commentary" have font color soemwhat close to "light yellow" on a white background. THINK!!!
If anyone is seriously considering doing this, this thread now needs to be deleted. It has been up long enough for the idea to be spread around. -

I would suggest that a much lighter shade of yellow be standardized for the standard portion of each post designated "Poster Commentary".

In the April 1, 1914 issue of the Watch Tower magazine, the Watch Tower Society said:
THE COLOR LINE FOUND NECESSARY
"WE might have anticipated that many colored people would be deeply interested in THE PHOTO-DRAMA OF CREATION. But it did not impress itself upon us until gradually their number increased to about twenty-five per cent. of the whole audience. Of course, we were glad to see them, glad that they were interested in the DRAMA. We had the same feeling respecting them as others; but it was quickly discerned that it was not a case of feeling, but that, whereas the colored people of New York City are about five per cent of the population, in our audiences they are about twenty-five per cent, and the number increasing. What shall we do? As the attendance of the colored people would increase, proportionately the number of the whites would decrease; for explain it how we will, a majority of whites prefer not to intermingle closely with other races.
"Recognizing that it meant either the success or the failure of the enterprise of the DRAMA as respects the whites, we have been compelled to assign the colored friends to the gallery, which, however, is just as good for seeing and hearing as any other part of The Temple. Some were offended at this arrangement.
"We have received numerous letters from the colored friends, some claiming that it is not right to make a difference, others indignantly and bitterly denouncing us as enemies of the colored people. Some, confident that Brother Russell had never sanctioned such a discrimination, told that they believe it would be duty to stand up for equal rights and always to help the oppressed, etc. We were obliged to explain the facts, assuring all of our loving interest in the colored people, and of our desire to do them good, and not injury. We again suggested that if a suitable place could be found in which the DRAMA could be presented for the benefit of the colored people alone, we would be glad to make such arrangements, or to co-operate with any others in doing so.
"Our explanations were apparently entirely satisfactory to all of the fully consecrated. To these we explained that it is a question of putting either the interests of God's Cause first, or else the interests of the race first. We believed it our duty to put God first and the Truth first-- at any cost to others or to ourself! We explained that we thought that all the colored brethren should know our attitude toward them--they should know that we love to serve them in any way possible and to give them the very best we have to give of the Gospel Message; and that it is only a question of whether our giving to them in one way would deprive us of giving the Truth to others.
"Some who were still tenacious and quarrelsome we merely reminded of our Lord's declaration that in inviting visitors into the house it is the place of the host to say where they shall sit, and then we showed them the parable of the man who chose the chief seat of honor and was given a lower one.
"In answer to the query as to how our course of conduct squared with the Golden Rule, we replied that it squares exactly. We would wish others to put God first. If our personal interests are or ever have been in conflict with the real and apparently best interests of the Lord's Cause, it is a part of our consecration vow to ignore our interests in favor of the interests of the Lord's Cause. This is what we mean by the declaration that we are dead to self and alive to our God as New Creatures.
"We reminded one dear sister that the Lord enjoins humility, and assures us that unless we humble ourselves we shall not be exalted. If nature favors the colored brethren and sisters in the exercise of humility it is that much to their advantage, if they are rightly exercised by it. A little while, and our humility will work out for our good. A little while, and those who shall have been faithful to their Covenant of Sacrifice will be granted new bodies, spiritual, beyond the veil, where color and sex distinctions will be no more. A little while, and the Millennial Kingdom will be inaugurated, which will bring Restitution to all mankind--restitution to the perfection of mind and body, feature and color, to the grand original standard, which God declared "very good," and which was lost for a time through sin, but which is soon to be restored by the powerful Kingdom of Messiah."

Poster's Commentary:
I think the Watchtower Society is stupid, and everything they publish is stupid, including this excuse for segregating Afro-Americans.

Yes, since different topical questions might require different sequencing for maximum understanding, the "heavy moderation" could allow the moderators to decide how posts will be ordered, etc.
However, BOLDING, COLOR, FORMATTING, etc should be standardized so that viewers can easily determine what words are introductory material; what words are Watchtower Excerpts; and what words are poster commentary.
Assuming that the moderators have moved an inquiry into the response section, and that initial post asks:
"What did the Watchtower say on racial discrimination in the early 1900s?"
Here is a sample post that would answer this inquiry:
