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.
So far in UK I have had x2 reports from people who have had spoken to nurses who work in the hospitals.
The nurses say that there is very little work taking place in the hospitals.
One of the nurses said she felt that more was being made of Covid 19 than was necessary.
A taxi driver who has been running patients to and from a hospital said that he had noticed that the usual long 4 hour plus wait in Accident and Emergency had now gone down to about 2 hours.

So sad. Building for the projection of illusion in so many languages.
Going forth to spread the Fake News about God's Kingdom.
(Matthew 24:4) . . .And in answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you. . .
i have heard a rumor that if a jw becomes inactive he or she is considered to be an apostate.
is this true?
has anyone here on this forum had such an experience?
Inactivity is fine providing you are in good standing. Even if you can't be bothered to put in a report the elders will make one up for you and not tell you they have done so.
You might say to an elder, "I have done nothing this month." Then they will say, "but you must have done something you can count time for, even if you can't remember." Then they'll help you to remember.
However if start questioning Watchtower doctrine and quoting scriptures straight from the Bible - that's it. You are suspicious. Just like if you say the name Jesus a bit too often, you might be an apostate.
today is my 51st anniversary.

can anyone give difference between cross and pendant with jw.org logo?.

The CO's wife turns up wearing those earings and sets a trend? Hmm no. I can't even imagine a CO's wife wearing those earings. Maybe they'll get worn by one of the shadow characters on a demo video.
I think they'd love the pens though. Brolly, yes. Mouse mat - yes. Face mask - not sure. Might be ideal for a Zoom talk - sis appears wearing JW facemask and pretends to witness to someone working in a shop.
sex issues seem to be the number one reason but apostasy is right up there too.
even if you weren’t disfellowshipped , do you know why some people you know were disfellowshipped?
?.
You feel free to be pedantic Slimboy. I stand educated and enlightened on the subtlties of spelling.
I can be pedantic too - I insisted to the GB that the number 3 really, really was the number 3. I got thrown out for that.
I also had an issue with the number 2 - if you put a 0 after it, like this 20, it changes the value by 18.

Would you get df'd for using their logo as a tattoo? Please, no one do this.
Oh I supposed you'd be marked! :D

A guess - being allowed the right to sell these goods with the logo on enables well behaved ex-Bethelites or similar to make a living perhaps?
Oh wow - earrings.

Because there are several ways of getting to Venice on the Orient Express. So, say you go by the route of being a pioneer or an elder, missionary, Bethel worker, Governing Body member or whatever - you are prominent. Therefore, you get to Venice being prominent.
But not everyone can do these things. If you cannot do these things, you have to get to Venice by a different route. You'll get there ok but you'll have to clean the toilets. That's the other route, the toilet cleaning route. If you don't get to clean the toilets, don't worry there's plenty of other non-prominent tasks that'll get you to Venice.
They put a map up showing the two different routes.
