That would mean each active JW is handing out less than 32 copies of the Awake and Watchtower magazines during the year. That's just over 1 set per fortnight, if they don't keep a copy for themselves.

Such a depressing letter. It's like they are giving the elderly their 'last rites' but religions like the Catholics only do this shortly before a person is known to be dying.
They still can't even bother to address them as Brothers and SISTERS, it doesn't take much effort. -

The bible warns against these sorts of claims.
Matt 24:24
For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

G.B of JW`s trusting in Jehovah ? or Trusting in Men When It Comes To A Crunch !
by smiddy3 injehovah`s witnesses have taken it upon themselves that they have been chosen by god to be his witnesses in what they believe to be the last days ,the time of the end spoken of by the prophets of old.. they are on record as stating in their publications that it is their calling and duty to preach this message of announcing jehovah`s kingdom loud and clear publicly and from house to house even when under ban.. which they have done on many occasions in the past putting their trust in jehovah .. taking to heart acts ch.5 : 17- 32 which states in a nutshell ," we must obey god as ruler rather than men " .
they are also on record that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one satan the devil to mislead all mankind.. this includes all governments ,religious leaders ,economic, and social systems ,they have even stated that the united nations was a counterfeit kingdom in opposition to the kingdom of god for the benefit of mankind.. so what do we see today ?
true , we have a pandemic with this covid-19 virus that is wreaking havoc in the worlds health systems causing death to many people on a scale not seen since the spanish flu pandemic a century ago.. now i`m just speaking from a jehovah`s witness mindset here,to put there money where their mouth is.

I would imagine most Governments around the World are allowing essential services to continue and many people are doing these jobs.
Doesnt the GB say that their work is the most important and their house to house work is life saving, essential work? I wonder if the GB is doing anything to bring this to the attention of Governments?

It reminds me of when they began cart witnessing and started out in just a few cities to test it out.
The success reported was completely exaggerated and it became clear what a flop it was when they went full scale on it.

Differences between UK and US Corona Virus TV Updates
by ThomasCovenant ini'm in the uk, and most days over the last 2 weeks i've watched the 5pm uk government update on the corona virus situation which includes questions from the media.
generally speaking i've found the whole update, including the questions and answers, to be respectful, informative and non combative, with, to the best of my recollection, very little mention of politics and blame.
certainly no political point scoring.

Sadly I think you may be right Slimboyfat and it will mean a much longer period of self isolation than many other countries.

by sir82 infor you poor saps unfortunate enough to have missed yesterday's zoom watchtower study, i thought i'd prepare a little summary for you.. in fact, to keep things really short, i'll just highlight the outstanding verbs from the article.. paragraph 2: do not view.
paragraph 4: think seriously about the warning.....partake unworthily.
paragraph 5: do not feel...does not give....do not feel....would never tell.
