How about all of the printing activities including WT and Awake magazines ,tracts and brochures etc.?
Are they all still a going concern ?
How many people would there be on average at any one Bethel Home ?
I`m just wondering how Covid 19 is going to affect their printing operations overall ?
A teenager with a color copier could do their printing for them now.
They print very little. use commercial printers or have the home printers do it. The letter instructions now specify no tracts enclosed.
Simon publishes more useful stuff with a one man crew. If we took up a collection he could get a mimeograph
yeah
kim/mikey were talking about a source saying 900 bethelites infected and 200 desd but its hard to know if theres any weight to that
I havnt seen or heard of any letters or updates regarding the condition & health of those in Bethel or HQ. I would have thought that if all were well in HQ, the GB would have past that information on has a form of an encouragement letter or video update. Could there be a problem behide closed doors?
I have just looked at the John Hopkins map of Wallkill New York,Ulster N.Y.and there is 1252 confirmed cases and 30 deaths.
And when you look at the whole of New york City it shows their are 18069 deaths.with a lot more confirmed cases.
I was thinking that the JW religion having its HQ in NY for so many years you would think there would be a lot of Jehovah`s Witnesses living their ?
The odds are that many of them would be struck down by the virus ?
Not that we will ever know I suppose.
I have a family member who is in one of the overseas Bethels, and they have no cases there. They have been on lockdown for the duration. However, in the US, the Bethel sites of Warwick, Wallkill, Patterson, and Fishkill are all right in the danger zone where the virus has hit the worst, so I would be surprised if they didn't have cases.
