No country, not even the U.S., can in a purely national effort overcome the virus. Addressing the necessities of the moment must ultimately be coupled with a global collaborative vision and program. If we cannot do both in tandem, we will face the worst of each.”
Don't want to speak too soon but Australia and NZ are on the verge of eradication.

US Letter Read Sunday 4/26 at Meeting - No KH Use and No Field Service Indefinitely
by JWTom inthere was a letter read sunday at our meeting that mentioned some parts of us are starting to open back up.
however, regardless of things opening up that no kingdom halls should be used for any meetings of any kind.
also, no door-to-door ministry or any form of in-person ministry is allowed.

While this seems like an altruistic letter, the cynic in me thinks it is an attempt to prevent losing donators due to illness and death, as there are a lot of older jws and the org isn't really growing in developed countries.

by Gorbatchov inthis night i could not sleep and my thoughts went on and on.

The purpose of conversion testimonies and stories
by LeeT ina hunch has just struck me.we get frequent accounts in the literature and videos of people whose dysfunctional lived have been turned around by studying with the jw's and coming to belief in the org (sorry, jehovah).
evangelical type christian groups also use similar testimony stories.here's the hunch:the purpose of these is quite different among jw's compared to other religions.other groups use these testimonies primarily to persuade non-believers.the jw's use them to reinforce the beliefs of those already in the "truth.
"any thoughts?.

All the multi level marketing companies do it too.
Of you've ever been to their sales pitch nights, it feels a lot like hearing experiences at a jw convention.

Do You Think It’s Time For Businesses To Reopen Even Though Coronavirus Is Not Obliterated?
by minimus ini think it’s time for business to reopen and let’s get the economy going again!
.
what say you??

Hoser,
'If the economy remains closed more people will die from suicide and starvation than Coronavirus would ever kill.'
This seems to be the latest argument. My counter argument would be, how many people will kill themselves out of depression due to losing multiple friends to covid19?

Hi Min,
Are you asking for just the U. S., or the world in general?
Here in Australia we went hard and early with social restrictions and are on the verge of eradication, although I hate using that term because it could turn around fast if things go wrong.
Restaurants were still allowed to serve take out but no club's, bars or big gatherings. We can still go for a walk and shop for groceries but still maintain distancing while doing these activities. A lot of people are working from home.
I know the economic figures are going to be bad, but the economy is still functioning to an extent, also, the government has offered various generous stimulus packages.
There seems to be early evidence that there may be no immunity to the virus and it would be be surprising if a vaccine is developed any time soon, if at all. I would think that unless the country you live in has the virus contained, it's a massive risk to get back to business as usual too early.
Another concern is, who will want to visit a country that has persistent covid19?

Unpredictable Certainty
by joey jojo inwith this pandemic upon us now in full bloom, its not surprising that religions are trying to entice their flocks back, with ' we told you so' rhetoric.
the truth is, these events happen every so often and we should expect them.. another term for this unpredictable certainty is a black swan event, that is, a rare event, that has wide ranging, often devastating effects.
we know bad things will happen, sometimes very bad things but we just don't know what, how or when.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

Im watching stuff on the tv that is hard to believe.
People in the USA protesting nurses because they are for quarantine, calling them fake actors, fake nurses, etc??!! Gathering in groups to protest this stuff. Claiming their rights shouldn't be affected by covid-19.
It must take a special kind of stupid to behave like that.
