I'm trying to remember what scriptural basis do they use to claim that they need to keep these matters confidential from the authorities. Clergy privilege is a concept that the authorities made up. It's not Biblical. If they really cared about these children then why not proactively reach out to the authorities if there's no scriptural reason not to? This shows it is only about the money.

Covid19 "Suggestions" (aka rules)
by Huxley1979 inso a co just said in his talk yesterday that anyone that doesn't follow the branch's covid19 "suggestions" is disobedient and the type of person that won't survive armageddon.
didn't the letter say that each head of household would choose for himself how to apply the "suggestions"?.
the funny thing is there are other countries where none of these "suggestions" have been given..

Hi FedUpJW, interesting email, thanks for sharing. What I find interesting is that I know for a fact that many other countries haven't received these same "guidelines" or if so much less strict. Is the "Ark" only for the US witnesses?

The funny thing is I'd say at least half of the R&F (including elders) aren't following these rules.

So a CO just said in his talk yesterday that anyone that doesn't follow the Branch's Covid19 "suggestions" is disobedient and the type of person that won't survive Armageddon.
Didn't the letter say that each head of household would choose for himself how to apply the "suggestions"?

Fading out during the pandemic?
by Kingdavid41 ingiven the current world situation with the covid-19 pandemic and so many social distancing, staying at home and self quarantining.
all meetings are currently being held on zoom assemblies and conventions are viewed via the website .
this is the perfect time to fade-out and you probably won’t even be noticed!

Huxley1979
I agree. In the past, the only contact I had was from my service group overseer once a month sending me a text asking for my time. Now I get a text or call a week asking how I am and if I don't join the Zoom meeting I'm sure to get a call. So I think it's a worse time to fade actually.
