Keep your hands out of your mouth and shaking hands is no problem. 99.9999% of covid infection was through aerosol inhalation. Masks, anti-bac, cleaning surfaces, avoiding touching family and friends made almost no difference.

5Shaking hundreds of hands every week: are JWs the only ones?
by psyco inwe know that with our hands we touch what everybody else does: money, handles, buttons, etc.. we also know for sure, since the xix century, that our hands carry bacteria and germs causing serious illnesses because of that.. despite more than 25,000 jws dying because of the covid, showing they are not immune, they were proudly declaring how good they were in handling this pandemic.. now, jws have started to shake hundreds of hands per week at their meetings, like before, even if covid is not over yet demonstrating hygiene knowledge back to medieval times.. i am wondering: are they the only religion/community/group still doing this or others are doing the same?.

What Will JW's Do If They Find Themselves Still Conscious after Death?
by Sea Breeze inwe all know that despite many scriptures to the contrary, jw's believe that when they die, their consciousness will cease.
my question is this: what will be the likely reaction of jw's if they find themselves conscious after death?.

Fishy - a man ate a poisoned fruit and 'sadly it hasn't been easy for anybody'.
Even allowing for the JW understanding of free will, every agonising death in the history of humanity was the specific choice of your omnipotent god.

Elder asks my disfellowshipped cousin to leave house while grieving for his grandmother
by RULES & REGULATIONS infourteen years ago i started a thread on how horrible my disfellowshipped cousin was treated after his mom passed away and the terrible actions on the part of the elders at the funeral home.. 67. horrible conduct by congregation elders at my cousin's funeral.............. well, here we are 14 years later, and things haven't changed!.
my aunt ( who is my disfellowshipped cousin's grandmother ) was placed in home hospice care.
the nurse told her daughters ( who are jehovah's witnesses and live with their mother ) that their mom probably has 2 days left to live and that they should call the immediate family.. my disfellowshipped cousin and his sister show up in the early morning.

And for those of you who choose not to believe the Bible at all, what difference does it make to you?
Don't 'choose' your beliefs; follow the evidence wherever it leads.

What degree of depravity does it take for a person to choose hell over life with Jesus? - Breezy
What degree of stupidity or intellectual dishonesty does it take to even ask such a perverse question?

Ben Macintyre's books on espionage and war stories are non-fiction but read like a ripping yarn.
