Pete Zahut- I am blown away. LMAO!
Hmm, I wonder if I could get ass implants? Or should I just wait until my butt is really perky in the new system.
I could use the excuse that the chairs at the kh hurt my bum.
i am curious can a single jw sister get a breast augmentation?
will the elders disfellowship her?
will jehovah be angry with her or upset?

this 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.
they interviewed a woman who had seen two elderly people crying in their car. The lady went over and asked them what was wrong. They said they were too scared to go into the store due to the virus. The lady did their shopping for them. Yes! The elderly are suffering and it will only get worse
This is what I have been worried about. The elderly in this particular predicament.
I sent a text out to my elderly clients that if they need anything from the store to let me know and I will drop it off at there front door. Two clients already took me up on that offer. They taped the list the on front door and I went and picked it up, sprayed it with Lysol and set it in front of their door and texted saying it was there.
Plan on calling the Senior Center Monday to offer myself as available should anyone need this kind of help. I want to help in some way however small. If I can.
i'm a bit of a horror fan - i love horror movies and the novel dracula by bram stoker is a pretty good read - especially the first four chapters, with jonathan harker being in dracula's castle.. i've heard before that stoker based count dracula on a 15th century voivod (prince) of wallachia who went down in history as vlad the impaler - apparently, he was extremely barbaric and cruel, as his name suggests.. vlad's father was also called vlad.
daddy vlad was apparently part of an order of crusader knights, the order of the dragon.
this order was formed to protect christian europe against muslim ottomans/turks.
The impaling did happen. I was referring to the obvious vampire stuff. I just worded it loosely so I don't spoil the book you said you were reading.
After all I've read about Vlad, I join the many others that view him as a hero of sorts. But that's my opinion. Just another opinion to be analyzed to death and or dismissed.
I still think the movie was good. But I'm also probably just old, dried up and out of touch with the way movies are done now.
since donations boxes are going to lie empty for who knows how long, will the warwick parasites instruct (aka insist) jw's to now donate via bank standing order?.
Possibly, but many will donate without a push from the WT, thinking that its going to be used to "help".
even if you are young and heathy there are very good reasons to fear this disease and take drastic actions to avoid it individually, and halt it together as communities.
not only would it be traumatic as a society to lose so many old and unwell family members and friends, but survivors of the disease may suffer significant health problems in the future.
survivors of the first sars virus in 2003 have suffered significant lung problems.
Isn't there already a thread for the coronavirus? Or did you just want to create a panic one?

Littlerockguy- I'm sorry to hear that. Meaning, it seems like it would be hard to work in a hospital right now.
How is it in the hospital environment right now in your area?
For me and millions of others it will be a forced thing.

Wakanda-It was mentioned at meeting this week that it might be the last memorial! Was that murderous loon trying to encourage attendance?
I remember them saying that when I was little, every memorial. The very last time I ever spoke with any jw relative was right before the memorial in 2012 and they said this exact thing. I immediately spoke to her like shes never heard and I was a little surprised I spoke that way to be honest. I said "That is the last time you will ever use fear as a tool to try to get me to do anything, I am done , We are DONE!." That's the last thing I ever said and I intent on it staying the last thing.

Statewide closures of all schools, public and private in Washington state. In addition to all the other closures. People were panicking before this announcement today from Gov Inslee. Now some hysteria is setting in. This will affect millions in Washington state alone. If they thought there was a homeless problem before am afraid this is looking catastrophic.
Also across the US, several more states are doing this.
The up side. Trying to stay somewhat positive. All those hobbies and things you never have time for , now would be a good time to do those things. If at all possible I'm going to try to view this as a much overdue vacation.
Could be a good time to plant a garden, read, draw, play board games, research a topic you always wanted ect...

Memorial over Skype. No cong mixing if in person gathering for memorial. Follow your local laws about meeting together. Sick people stay at home..
Big take aways, imo,
They have a prerecorded memorial talk on the website 'if an elder isn't present'. More like for jws to sit at home and watch it. Celebrate it. Damn, and I was going to get my hair done.
Mentioned "final part of the last days" and said "Current global pandemic reminds us of the four horseman of the apocalypse" , the wording of 'we can easily back out of that' sort of way "like always". IT NEVER SAID GREAT TRIBULATION.
_______
No Circuit assemblies until further notice United States.
Regional assemblies are still going forward as planned.
Weddings and funerals to limited to a small amount of people.
Field service still going! Repeat field service Still going. Must not be in the Great trib yet. Hummm
Baptisms planned for Circuit assemblies that are now cancelled will await instruction from Circuit overseers as to how and when.
That's right, Baptisms! Still! Must not be the great trib. Otherwise baptisms would not be necessary per how its been taught.
And follow the body of elders arrangements specific to your area (due to the virus). Subject to change.
This is a shit show in the making.

slimboyfat-I hear reports that some Americans are reluctant to get tested because they can’t afford the medical bill and can’t afford to take time off work or even lose their jobs. Is that true?
Absolutely true! That's America for you. That's why I work for myself in part. No one is going to make me fret over losing my job because I'm running a fever, sick or anything else. #1 reason I've quit any job. The sickening part is its rampant in the food industry. Like its a badge of honor. I have actually gotten raises and promotions years ago just for showing up sick. How f'ing sad is that. The alternative was being short on bills and fired. No thanks.
