  Consideration for Pioneers and Field Missionaries:
  The Governing Body understands that because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ministry of auxiliary pioneers, regular pioneers, special pioneers, and field missionaries may be affected significantly.

  Please be assured that the elders will take into account these unusual circumstances when reviewing the service activity of these individuals.

  Oh great. I thought the doctrine says Jehovah knows everything the dubs do in his service, and is loving and understanding. But not a word about Jehovah here. Only the GB trying to appear reasonable with their rigid corporate regulations, trying to get in Jehovah's seat.

  After the Covid-19 crisis: what will happen?

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what will happen after the covid-19 crisis?.

  - economy with all the stand still corporations, people without work and mass injections of support money?.

  - politics with the end of globalisation, closed borders and new geopolitic friends (italy / china russia), lack of support and working together in eu and local politics, did the current politician the right thing?.

  I hope that governments, companies and above all people will

  • continue in the spirit of compassion, generosity and kindness that seems to be flourishing these days,
  • seize the opportunity to make long overdue changes that help us fight the climate crisis. If we can stop travelling to save ourselves from a virus, we should be able to do the same to save our species and planet.

  Here (The Netherlands) no meetings or FS. Circuit assemblies are canceled for the whole service year.

  Congregations are now starting up try outs with Zoom (video calling).

  Oh and yesterday the government announced that people aren't allowed to welcome more than 3 visitors in their homes, and all festivals, events, gatherings are now forbidden (before only events with 100+ people were forbidden) until June.

  This means that the Memorial cannot even take place in field service groups.

  2020 Memorial - No Need To Actually Have The Emblems

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  over at jw talk they're saying because they're having to hold the upcoming memorial at home, they dont need to actually have the emblems.

  apparently, listening to or watching the talk is the thing that counts.. "do this in rememberence of me" apparently means watching tony morris on your phone give a talk.. this begs the question... "what's the point?

  ".

  @Pete,

  Probably a case of dumb elders who can't follow instructions.

  The whole 'bring the emblems to a person who really can be in the meeting' is only to be done for the anointed.

  Letter 1: all circuit assemblies cancelled until end of May. Also visit of HQ representative cancelled.

  Letter 2: if possible, coming together for meetings is best. If not possible, wise or allowed, use Skype or Zoom to have local meetings, or meet in small groups. JW stream is to be used as a last resort only. (This is the same letter as the English one that leaked recently)

  @Gorby,

  Yes, I know. That is, everything is cancelled since March 12 (less than one week ago).

  Were jw activities cancelled in the south before that date?

  @Amnesiano: The Netherlands.

  Wow.
  Did they get or spread it in either the congregation or field service?
  Do you know if the congregations in Brabant/Limburg continue their meetings just as long as the rest of the country? Since those provinces had the most infected people...

  I'm glad I live in a country where people aren't constantly preparing for civil war...

  It appears those who do have little faith in their own government and fellow countrymen. Perhaps rightly so.

  At the same time it's believed to be the greatest, bestest, most civilizest country in the whole universe.

  No publisher should feel obligated to attend congregation meetings at this time if they feel concerned or anxious about doing so.

  This implies that JW should (are made to) feel obligated to visit meetings during normal times...

  Please be assured, you are not being unfaithful for taking such precautions.

  What about the JW in Russia and other areas where JW are banned or bullied? Will JW who take sensible precautions and worship Jehovah from home, without going to illegal meetings or joining in illegal preaching activities, be seen as unfaithful?
