Wondering what effect- if any- coming out of covid will have on jw's?
Judging by the recording I heard of a circuit oversneer's Sunday final talk, none at all. Except that maybe the fear, panic, and control will be ratcheted up even more intense than it already is.
He referred to the Jews in 66-70 C.E. He said that when the Roman armies left that would be like COVID appearing to be under control and no longer a danger. But only faithful JW's would be obedient enough to instruction from the governing body (wear masks, isolate and shelter in place, don't go out unless it is an emergency, get others to bring groceries and needed items to you) to survive when it came back, just like the Roman armies. And only obedient JW's would have Gee-HO'-Vuh's protection because only they would have been obedient and "obeyed whatever instructions were received, even if they did not appear strategic from a human standpoint."
