if all you want to do it deliver a constant whine of "orange man bad" then find someplace else to do.
it.
frankly, i can't be bothered with the bullshit anymore.. honestly, your politics and the whole virtue signalling woke brigade has actually started causing real deaths and was ruining life for many before that.. if you can't control your disease, then i'll do it for you.. it's not open for debate..
I for one would very much welcome a forum feature that would allow me to mute certain forum sections (politics & current affairs, I'm looking at you), and forum members actually posting their remarks and rants on politics and politicians in the appropriate section.
I'm here for the JW related stuff, and quite tired of all the conversations and rants about (mostly USA) politics.
Would love to be able to skip that content when looking at the 'hottest' and 'latest' posts...
just received a text yesterday...lovebombing to return with so called proof of the gt starting...scaremongering at its peak!.
"hey.
missing you at the meetings.
What a piece of crap article Washington Post.
They're all in favor of freedom of religion and equality, but only for themselves.

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.
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
here, in our congregation in south florida (miami), no meetings, no field service in our congregation.. what is is like in your area?.
rub a dub .
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.
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.
2 more german letters arrived today.
2020-03-16 letter.. https://we.tl/t-fk38e1yg19 .
2020-03-17 letter.. https://we.tl/t-xp4i0oczdk .
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?

i went to my local walmart today and most of the can goods and frozen foods were sold out.
i did a web search from where i buy ammo from, lucky gunner, sg ammo, buds and others.

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.
