When I watched the video it was hard to believe that anyone would call JFR, "Pappy." But Knorr called him "Pappy." I remember at Bethel, you sometimes heard Knorr referred to as "Pappy Knorr." I can't see how anyone would give either of them such a nickname based on their natural personalities. Seems like a nickname they wanted to be called.

Max Larson's archived experience on tv-jw-org includes an AWKWARD statement
by Gilgamesh inthis isn't about anything sordid (or morbid, or reported that knorr did).. it's just that i found an odd-sounding statement in the archived interview that appeared at about 31m20s in the december 2014 monthly tv.jw.org broadcast (or at 4m35s in the stand-alone larson interview also on tv.jw.org).
it seems to reveal an attitude that you'd think would be obsolete about the power of the anointed.
in the attached image, as captioned by tv-jw-org, he said: "every overseer was anointed .

"Pinky And The Brain" episodes were famous, of course, for exchanges like the following:
Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: "I think so, Brain... but how would we ever determine Sandra Bullock's shoe size?"
Brain: . . . [frustrated by Pinky's stupidity] . . .
and, later. . .
Pinky: Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?
Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky - try to take over the world!

It seems to reveal an attitude that you'd think would be obsolete about the power of the anointed. In the attached image, as captioned by tv-jw-org, he said: "every overseer was anointed . . . I got to appreciate the depth of the anointed, the power they had."
It was interesting to me for another reason. I've heard Larson use the expression "This is the Kingdom" in the way we used to use the expression "This is the New World Society" back around the 1950's and 1960's. In fact, I thought I remembered him saying it in the same interview, which is why I just went back to listen to it. I doubt it was edited out, so I must have seen it elsewhere. But I've also heard him in person speak of the Society as if it was equal to the Kingdom.
I believe that this idea about the "power of the anointed" is also related to the way he saw Knorr as if he were a king ruling a kingdom on earth. In fact, I believe this attitude had a lot to do with Larson's quick rise to power when he took over for Knorr at the factory, when JFR died. After having the job for a year and a half, Knorr told Larson: "Max, I'll have to stay over at 124 and take care of the world . . . you take the factory."
After reminding of several episodes of a cartoon called, "Pinky and the Brain," it also reminded me of: “You men already have your fill, do you? You are rich already, are you? You have begun ruling as kings without us, have you?” (1 Cor. 4:8)

Watch Tower Society owns web domains: www.MT2414.com and www.PS8318.com
by Gilgamesh in(my apologies if this was already discussed somewhere else.).
i noticed that the domain www.mt2414.com was taken, and when i tested it, it was a mirror of the log in portion of the www.jw.org site, where you can look up assemblies, kingdom halls, and make either one time or recurring donations.
so i created an account there (you can use fake form information as long as it's a real email address for email verification).

I thought Proverbs 27:11 was a joke too, especially when you look at the next verse and realize they already have Matthew 10:16 where is says to be "shrewd as snakes." (NIV)
(Proverbs 27:11, 12) 11 Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice, So that I can make a reply to him who taunts me. 12 The shrewd person sees the danger and conceals himself, But the inexperienced keep right on going and suffer the consequences.

I certainly would not pass it on to them. The Russian gov't gets enough goading from US religious interests to get them to crack down on gays rights, civil rights and religious rights. I would also bet that there are already enough "specialists" in Russia and Ukraine to have known this almost as soon as traffic started building up on these sites a few months ago. Amazon, whose servers they are using, probably knows already, too. -

wifibandit,
Seeing the countries of Georgia and Russia in the above list is indicative. Thanks for the list. I just checked it out and also only get the first 25. For some reason I tried ISA4312.com and not ISA4310.com
There's another one I just found at www.MT1016.com (Matthew 10:16) “Look! I am sending you out as sheep among wolves; so prove yourselves cautious as serpents and yet innocent as doves." (" . . . be as shrewd as snakes" NIV)
This one is the equivalent of WOL.jw.org for the Online Library. But guess where it's already used?

skin,
Maybe that's related to content caching on regionally distributed servers, something like what Akamai does.

So I created an account there (you can use fake form information as long as it's a real email address for email verification). And then I tried to use that new login account to log into jw.org. It worked just fine. I also checked some backlink/SEO type sites and found that the Russian version of the site had been flagged as the most used subdirectory. (I assume these are attempts to get around any bans or restrictions on jw.org.)
Then it hit me! What about Ps8318.com ?I tried it and it worked. Not only that, but this time I saw that www.ps8318.com is a complete mirror of jw.org. These are not redirects, where you stay on that domain for a second and you get transferred to jw.org. The entire site (apparently) is mirrored onto this domain.
I had batted 1000 so far, so I tried two other verses and no luck. Didn't expect John 3:16, but tried a couple forms of that. Then jn173, john173, etc. Of course these don't follow the two-digit format for chapter and two-digit format for verse.
Does anyone else know of any more of these domains? Or are they listed somewhere? I'd be interested in what other verses that the WT believes are foundational and "mnemonically" appropriate. -

100 Years Ago: WT calls Filipinos lazy, barbaric; asks President to sell Philippines to Japan
http://ad1914.com/…/100-years-ago-july-1915-russell-claims…/
Main Points:
- Russell wrote the President of the United States through the Secretary of State, stating that he wanted to write him privately but thought it best to send the letter to also be published in newspapers.
- Russell’s letter reveals a level of political involvement that went far beyond Zionism and direct political involvement in the affairs of government.
- Russell’s stated opinions about the
Philippines reveals personal prejudices which are pro-American,
anti-Filipino and pro-Japanese. He shows himself to be a
“White-Man’s-Burden” Eurocentric racist.
- A history of Russell’s opinions related to the Philippines reveal inconsistency and contradictions, but also clarify the real meaning of the expression, “End of the Gentile Times.”
