Not training speakers/teachers any more?
by eyeslice2 innot having attended any meetings since about 2001, for reasons of safety (sounds a bit dramatic but i don't like my wife being out on her own late at night where we live now), i have started accompanying her to the mid-week meeting.. when i was young, the ministry school and service meeting were central to training brothers to take the lead.
you were assigned instruction talks, then if you cut it, you moved pretty rapidly to public talks - a full 55 mins at the time.
i was just 18 years old when i gave my first public talk and this was a first step to moving rapidly through the ranks.

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.

Well, Eve blamed the snake for what she did.
The Bethelite may just blame the cow.

Joe Biden and Push-up Contests
by minimus inin the past, the former vp has challenged trump to a push-up contest and today he did again , only this time to an 83 year old man who told biden that he thought he was too old to run for president.
it appears biden called him fat and unlike the man he wasn’t sedentary.
then he challenged the man to a push-up contest.

This guy [Biden] is actually pretty entertaining!
Min ...
I couldn't agree more.
You have to admit, the Dems could up with some interesting characters for VP. The last two were Biden and Al Gore, the guy who invented the internet ... lol.
The Reps had Chaney who wanted to blow up the world and now Pence, a guy who would make a good department store mannequin.
To each his own.

He could have made a lot more money on the tv wrestling tour.
Come up with a stage name like "Ken Kong" or something.
Then do the flying drop kicks and other pro wrestling moves.
Oh well ... RIP Ken, RIP.

Why aren't these political leaders that become filthy rich in politics investigated.
LV101 ...
You must be joking, hopefully not that naive.
Do you really think they going to investigate themselves?
Who would they appoint to lead the investigation other than one of their own?
It brings to mind the old expression "circle jerk."

one dot is congress is exempt from insider trading laws
road to nowhere ...
You are correct. I wasn't thinking about that. If the crap is about to hit the fan about some company and you are invested in it, do a short sale and make a ton of money.
Remember, Hillary wasn't even in congress at the time but she turned $1,000 into $100,000 in cattle futures.
I guess you just have to have friends in "high" places.

Biden is a fraud/crook - like father like son. Why aren't these political leaders that become filthy rich in politics investigated.
LV101 ...
It is amazing that the majority of politicians who leave their positions all of a sudden have millions of dollars of net worth on a $200,000 or so salary in Washington. Which honestly, in Washington, is not a huge amount of money considering the cost of homes, college for the kids, etc.
But somehow, they leave at multi-millionaires.
I could never connect the dots.

Really I have had a belly full of the nanny state idiots that want to micro-manage every last detail of what should be our private lives.
FedUpJW ...
Your comment really made me think about who is ultimately responsible for the nanny state as your describe it. So as not to hijack this thread, I will start a new one.
But who are the nanny state idiots as you describe them? Are they you and I? Are they the insurance companies that pay out huge sums of money when someone slips and falls? Is it the legal system that allows for very high punitive damages in negligence cases?
I will start a new thread shortly.

Putting a rock in a snowball is not the same as throwing a snowball.
Min ...
I know this sounds crazy to us who have thrown snowballs when kids, but a snowball is not a snowball when it is wet, rocks or not.
Get a nice wet watery snowball in your gloves, squeeze is so tight until the water starts dripping out, and you basically have a rock in your hand (come on man, we both did this as kids.. lol).
You could put out someone's eye, break a car window, let alone someone's head.
The danger is not from the nice white powdery stuff but rather when it begins to melt.
When I was a kid, we would ride everywhere on our bikes and not know what a helmet was. A helmet? Now, if you let your kid ride without a helmet it is considered child abuse.
Min, just the way times change.

A brother working in the Dairy dept was told that anything you put in front of the cow's mouth, the cow will lick. this started an 8 year relationship with cows for that brother.
No abuse, that’s disgusting!
Biahi ...
Step back and take a breath. This is where Caesar's law comes into play.
It all depends on New York State's age of consent for cows.
