  What kind of person was Nathan H. Knorr?

  by Hecce in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we have several examples in the forum showing that president knorr was not a loving and caring person; one that impressed me was the one about the elderly bethelite that was put out on the streets until his death due to a disagreement with knorr.

  i bring to your attention an incident that happened in the country of honduras back in the 50s, it has to do with immoral conduct by a branch overseer and his subsequent disfellowshiping.

  i am not critical of the end result of his conduct but rather the salacious and detailed report of this matter putting in the open the details for the whole world to see.

  Nathan Knorr was a pompous ass. He showed respect for few but expected all to be agog at his stature in the org while feigning a false humility in his speeches. He expected the thousands to swoon at his boring overtime convention prattle. A pock on him.

  Can you tell we had no use for him?

  Note it says "initially" one standard kit will be available. Do they have further plans for TV worship connected to Bethell? Perhaps soon there will only be video programs at the dumbhall.
  

  
  In the US on big supplier of equipment was Audio Acoustics. Since I don't have an access code to the jw.org supplier list I can't tell if there are others. I still get periodic e-mails from Audio Acoustics with announcements and such.

  All of a sudden the choir has taken on these phony and forced smiling poses. Where is David Splane doing his horrid attempt at conducting?

  Perhaps that is why they are constantly recycling the same old crusty "spiritual food" and dumbing down the meetings. This way any goofball with a tongue and lips can conduct meeting parts.

  Darkknight757 if you've ever watched a Mormon service on BYUTV I can see where the dubs are headed. I can't imagine sitting through a typical Mormon meeting, same old monotone and singsong voices, boring cheap suits and regimental ties. Doesn't take much to prepare. And now with dub TV they can tune in and snooze in the seats.

  I almost died laughing at the meeting last night. OMG WTF is going on? Have I been away this long?

  ok so most of you guys know already that i am going through the reinstatement process for my parents but i do have a partially sinister plan which i will not mention here since someone told me that there are b-lites that read boards like this.

  last night and it was the funniest experience i have ever seen.

  besides that the brother doing the sound and video screwed up the whole thing when showing the videos and it took 3 brothers to fix it after 10 minutes, the whole thing was a joke.

  Is that David Splane conducting the choir again? Doesn't know a thing about conducting music other than the same boring motions. As if he read a Mormon book on basic conducting and they threw him out there to wave his arms. And btw the choir director stops conducting during the interludes when the choir is to be silent. Just saying David.

  As to the silhouettes, weren't they only during the parts with the sisters demonstrating door to door presentations? Couldn't dare have sisters look like they're teaching, now could we?

  I remember when they removed him for a while. They used his visiting a disfellowshipped person in the hospital as the beginning of the witch hunt. I don't recall the ringleader's name anymore. In our talks back and forth I know he was hurt, but took it in stride in typical Weldon fashion.

  When I told him some years later of my exit plans, he simply said .... I understand completely.

  I believe there was some jealousy from the Service Dept and others at times respecting Weldon's popularity as a speaker. I helped him with the second go around of "Youth what is your future" tweaking the audio files to freshen it up a bit. He and several others, including myself, gave that talk in many places. All of us eventually got a letter from Service telling us not to give the talk.Those were the days. If you had a special self prepared talk that got a lot of raves the self righteous many began taking pot shots.

  I'll miss his candor and kindness.
