    Hi "Compoundcomplex"

    I don't know much about Brother Knorr and his qualities. Did he oppose the date fixing for the "End Times"?

    Did he tell Frantz to back off of trying to figure out, what Jesus said was reserved only for the Father? (Acts 1)

    Does anyone know much about Brother Knorr, he appears to be the silent president you rarely read about in the WT or

    any other book. Rusell and Rutherford come up frequently but we never read much about brother Knorr. Are there any mature

    ones here who remember him? I would love to learn more about him. Thank you!

    Nathan Knorr quoted in Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz:

    "There are some things I know--I know that Jehovah is God, that Christ Jesus is his Son, that he gave his life as a ransom for us, that there is [going to be] a resurrection. Other things I'm not so certain about. 1914--I don't know. We have talked about 1914 for a long time. We may be right and I hope we are." … but then again maybe not! - CofC, p. 260

    Some interesting quotes from WT publications on the identity of the F&DS here (C/- poster passwordprotected) . . .

    No mention of any "annointed" here . . . F&DS = WTB&TS

    Here is where I used the quotes. My husband is the one doing the talking. I added a few things to his stack of apostamaterials. :)
