The "truth" of the time of Knorr Seven men named Jesus

Nathan H. Knorr can be considered as a businessman, cold, with little personality and too little concerned with the problems of others. He had little patience, and ruled in an authoritarian manner. Knorr never considered himself a biblical expert, his strength came from writing rules for Jehovah's Witnesses walk.

Rutherford was characterized for being a public figure of tremendous authority, Knorr was exactly the opposite. He was not a speaker, let alone a great writer.

The structure of the organization that had given Rutherford continued basically remain the same, although some adjustments had to be made, Knorr delegated some responsibilities and that the circumstances were this was a necessity due to the number of members who were growing. The changes were mostly in the area of \u200b\u200bdoctrine and new rules to remain a "Christian approved" were imposed, although some were contradictory to the previous position, despite this, many of them are still in force to date.
