I confirm it.
The French speaking circuit had the assembly canceled in the jw assembly hall in cameri.
The announcement was that that all meetings, field service and cart are canceled until new announcement

The WTS has always leveraged the imposition of fear to back their doctrine of mankind living in the last days and the associated signs.
Fear if the biggest tool this organization uses and exploits along with human ignorance.
So them exploiting this corona virus fear to their advantage in not surprising.

They ought to totally cancel all boasting sessions, forever. And, while they are at it, get rid of that bible. Totally, permanently. It is through this bible that these curses are placed on us to have pandemics that can wipe out 3/4 of the earth's population, as well as christi-SCAM-ity throttling science to allow these things to get out of control. Without these communist programs, this virus probably would never have come into existence in the first place--and even if it did, science would have eliminated it as soon as the first case came (along with the more common flu and even regular colds).
Besides this, every time anyone abides by or teaches that filthy bible or quran, they are adding to the energy these diseases need to spread. They are putting energy into it, and that could make what would have been just another mild flu into something that never clears up and can wipe out 80% of the world's population. (Or create communist conditions, so that 80% get wiped out by the shortages and panic that follow the disease.) I can only hope that christi-SCAM-ity is severely damaged, or better yet, totally wiped out, before it has the chance to wipe out all fulfillment.

If Jesus' words were true and an increase of natural disasters was the signal for the end of the secular world -- then surely it was when 200 million people died in the Black Death which hit Europe Africa and Asia right in the middle of the 14th century. There are many villages in England, I walked through one nearby the other day, all that remains are green rectangles of grass and a name on the map. Whole populations died. Was that not sufficient to qualify as a sign of the last days?
But no! The world just plodded on until eventually scientific enquiry began and bubonic plague, smallpox, polio, leprosy and even AIDS are now controllable.
It's a hard lesson sorry to say but the scriptures and Jesus' words are frankly a waste of our time and attention.

I have to rant, the JW org are blatant mind-manipulators. All of their tiresome 'loving' letters to their congregations are larded with a cascade of Bible quotes. The governing body hide behind this facade of quotations!
It is as if they have a form of Tourette's syndrome, they just can't help themselves, they can't write something plainly, they are compelled to quote from the Bible whether relevant or not.
The GB are non-entities and that's why they seek a legitimisation for their mind control through Bible quotations. Isn't the Bible useful!

I'm really surprised they didn't advise keeping up to date on jwdotorg where they could still make their financial donations.

Putting JW "politics" aside here, this Corona thing is now into 11 cities in Italy. It only appears to be getting worse each day when you wake up and turn on the news.
If this thing creeps further north towards Germany, it could have a devastating effect on the EU and the world economy.
Time will tell.
