I know I must be twisted, but why when I think of Chitty with the young bethelites does that old movie "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" come into my mind" ?

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.

That makes the overlapping anointed generation a year longer or 2 because david Splane calculated the groups with a middle point o 1992.
waton ...
Just blame it on the zero year, that f'n zero year.
If your calculations don't work out right, it's the zero year.

He [Chitty] often spoke at Gilead graduations, and was the concluding speaker for the day at the Watchtower Centennial business meeting at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on October 6, 1984.
Wow ... I must be getting old.
A relative of mine got tickets for me. I drove to Pittsburgh for the Centennial meeting and still have some of the brochures. I even went to the grave site of CT Russell and saw his pyramid gravestone.
Wow ... that brings back many memories.

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.

Yes, they do encourage the flock to be teachers.
That is, teaching people how to go to jw dot org.

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.
