  Ewart Chitty

  by NoAbuse in

  2. friends

  ewart chitty was appointed as secretary-treasurer , which position he held until his appointment to the governing body in november 1974.. when in brooklyn, chitty seems to have preferred younger men as roommates.

  the actual charge brought to the gb against chitty was made by a former roommate and involved some sort of inappropriate conduct.

  the gb concluded that chitty had homosexual tendencies, and asked him to resign.. a rare photo of chitty in happier days.

  2020 Memorial Talk points for "interested persons" to raise.

  by The Fall Guy in

  2. beliefs

  1) "what jesus gave was equal to what adam had lost—a perfect human life.".

  jesus said that he came as a ransom, (matthew 20:28) but according to jw dogma, jesus' ransom gained far more than what was lost – 144,000 immortal king/priests in heaven to be precise!

  adam was never going to produce such super-human offspring!

  I remember, especially my wife had a gift to attract not real intelligent bible-studies but sometimes would bring 4 or 5 to the memorial, the people didn’t understand a scheisse of what the talk was about. At one year I had the talk (only elder with 100 + publishers) and had to point at my wife From the platform because this lovely couple couldn’t resist the wine.

  I sometimes watch “Kitchen nightmares USA” with Gordon and, although I understand there is a show factor, I am surprised what Americans accept as food. When we went abroad in 1991, I was surprised having a microwave cooked meal in the Missionary-home by an American couple who we lived with (in fact two couples, but the other were Californians..more interested in health and food was my impression).

  Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is Dead

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. current

  the so-called caliph, one of the most evil men in human history, has blown himself up along with three of his young children while being pursued by american special forces.. the ambition of isis was to expand the territory of the caliphate under the leadership of al-baghdadi to whom individual jihadists swear allegiance.

  now isis have nowhere to call home and no leader.

  what a pathetic bunch of losers.. they will of course appoint a new caliph and reprisal attacks will no doubt follow in western capitals by christmas but the more contemptible they appear they less likely it is that young men and women will join their delusional cause.. respect to the elite forces who hunted him down - those on the front line and the many intelligence specialists who made it possible.

  From Bahrain to Qatar: These are the 25 richest countries in the world

  John Harrington 24/7 Wall Street

  Published 7:11 AM EST Nov 29, 2018

  The world is getting richer: The global economy expanded by more than 3 percent to $80.68 trillion in 2017. But that wealth is not distributed equally.

  North America, home to less than than 5 percent of the global population, accounts for about one-fourth of global economic output. Meanwhile, in South Asia, where nearly 25 percent of the world’s population resides, the region’s economic activity accounts for less than 4 percent of global gross domestic product.

  GDP may be the standard method for gauging the size of a particular country or region’s economy, but it does not account for all of the wealth generated by that nation. A more accurate indicator of a country’s economic output is its gross national income, or GNI. This measure captures all economic activity within a nation’s borders in addition to wealth created by nationally owned entities operating in other countries.

  Using data from the World Bank, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the GNI per capita of about 180 nations to identify the 25 richest countries. We also included life expectancy at birth from the World Bank, as well as GDP from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

  The wealthiest 25 countries in the world have complex and diverse economies. They export goods and services that originate in a variety of industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and aerospace. Another common characteristic among the richest countries is the relative lack of corruption.

  According to corruption watchdog Transparency International, the least corrupt countries feature a free press, open access to public information, and judicial systems free from undue influence. Another common characteristic of the wealthiest nations is all of the 25 richest countries have life expectancies at birth above the world average of 72 years.
