Ewart Chitty
by NoAbuse inewart 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.

The 1980 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses (p. 258) tersely reported that in the past year, Ewart C. Chitty had resigned from the Governing Body.

After his 1979 resignation from the GB, Chitty remained in Brooklyn working in Writing Correspondence, so he was certainly in good standing. A 1981 Awake! article has Chitty making comments about people having lost their love of neighbour and God.
Apparently by this time Chitty was drinking heavily, according to close acquaintances. Likely this contributed to his being dismissed from Brooklyn and reassigned to the London Bethel a few years later. There he worked at an assignment of little responsibility, but was appointed an elder in a local congregation. Chitty died about 1993.

The Apology Tour
by minimus ineveryone seems to be hitting the apology circuit.
if you ever said anything inappropriate or what might be considered offensive, then you must apologize.
if you possibly could have hurt someone’s feelings, you need to say sorry.

I wonder how many causative acts of homosexuality came out this propagation at Bethel and ..... ? ? ?
I doubt much. I believe you are either a gaylord or you aren't. But it probably separated the wheat from the chaff. Maybe if you stayed beyond the obligatory 2 years you'd be invited to a post-memorial extravaganza hosted by a GB member himself.
