I haven't seen anyone IRL stockpiling or hoarding, just stocking up as you normally would if a blizzard or something like that was coming. They were all patient, polite and orderly. Seems reasonable and appropriate.
I have heard tons of people on social media and on the news accusing others of hoarding and panic here locally, even though it doesn't appear to be actually happening (here).

by keyser soze inof all the things people decided they needed to stockpile for a potential quarantine.
all of the stores around my area ran completely out of toilet paper this last weekend.
people were piling it into their carts and vehicles as if they were going to be holed up for a year.

Hi, I've not been to this forum in a long time. I came for virus gossip. lol
So I'm hearing something very different than what was posted here. I was told they are saying there was an announcement that anybody at high risk or >65 yrs old should not be attending meetings.
I'm kinda pissed about that. In the 70s and 80s, they had us doing Great Tribulation drills so we could sneak to meetings because it's a command to not forsake gathering. We were to memorize phone numbers and addresses of nearby dubs, change clothes on the way as a disguise, lie to officials, etc.I hate it when religions soften. It just encourages people to stay in.

Tight pants dilemma solved
by rebel8 inthe principles that we glean from god’s word should move us to avoid wearing clothing that is tight-fitting, revealing, or sexually provocative.
that would rule out wearing clothing that exposes or accentuates private parts of our anatomy.
nobody should feel uncomfortable or forced to look the other way when seeing how we are dressed.

If this is true, then why don't all the bros have to wear MC Hammer pants?

Wear a stuffed parrot on your shoulder and act totally nonchalant. Don't arrive early, or this may get you kicked out. When the bread is approaching you, say loudly, in a parrot voice, "Polly want a cracker!" Feed it to the stuffed animal.
Wear a big blue furry sweater. When the bread is approaching you, start singing the Cookie Monster song, "Cookie for me, cookie for you!" -

Hunt begins for legion of ‘missing’ children being educated at home
by rebel8 ina person who used to post here is quoted in this article.. i hate to be a biotch, but since this has happened multiple times here, let me just say this: please do not be an asswipe and "out" her here because it would connect her real name to her username on this forum, and all the highly personal stuff that goes with that.
disclosing that is her decision, not yours.. ok, now that we have that out of the way, here's the article.
it's pretty great to have the political and religious radicalism connected to dubbery in this way.

I don't hit any paywall or request for info when I click the link.
It's a great article putting jw extremism in the context of other extremism, and what happened to this individual was totally religious punishment unrelated to any other rationale for homeschooling.
