Post script
The locals are decent, if sometimes a bit odd and definitely IQ chalkenged .
Their jobs just disappeared too. They can no more afford to get sick than the rest of us.

COVID-19 another example showing local publishers/congregations are on their own?
by JWTom inmy area is a large city spread across two u.s. states and multiple different cities and counties.
the area of 2.5 million is covered by parts of 4-5 different circuits.
many of those attending meetings are at-risk individuals with health problems or age related risk.

There has been no pastoral care. We do not need a pretend presentation, nor directions on how to shake our weewee when we go.
Is there a way to get groceries if we are old? Can I give a ride to someone? How will I pay the rent (all my money went to the GB)

Most of them are at risk individuals. Since I am able bodied maybe I can take by the watchtower on disasters and tell them I hope they have bottled water.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis 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.

Korea has a single ethnicity with few immigrants, no language barrier and still has a strong sense of family. And a smaller geographic area. And a nearly dictatorial government.
Contrast my city with 30 plus languages, muslim women who cannot touch a man ( minor), and a need for translation. Then add in the panicked people clogging the energency services. That is not all it though. Add the jealousy of the big suburbs working contrary to what the big core city does. There is rivalry among the hospitals so they do not cooperate on exchanging records. Different computer formats that cant read the other
I mistrust numbers that can be massaged we see that all the time. What the news says is not we peons see

My wife's meetings are canceled; my son's KH has issued nothing, no cancelations, no guidelines for interactions, nothing
Same here. Every other congregation in the area has canceled but mine. Some gave no guidance on service or memorial work. I heard some went to the meeting for service and no one else showed. I wonder if the no show elders here were the ones voting against

Should some anonymous source tip off the tv people about the congregations having meetings anyway? Asking for a friend.

The one thing that letter shows is the GB has no clue about earning a living.
There are not enough alternate homes, competent brothers ( or sisters) or connections. If you think the broadcasts are boring, just wait until you see the locally produced stuff
Who is going to put on the show? The elders here are old, and someone would have to run the sound box. I am not spiritually qualified to even clean now. I will do any non spiritual thing in my meager power for neighbors or even strangers. I am old so in the high risk group and have health concerns that qualify.
No word from the elders here today, they should be canceling because of trumps 10 suggestion.

Toes...
The case I know best the elders ordered the sister to be a submissive good wife. That got her beat up and the stepdaughter raped. She is out and the elders are still ruling over us.

Still ADD...
the so called military grade is a misnomer. You cant actually get one. A scary grip or unreliable aftermarket magazine dont changexthings. The bayonet rule was a joke--if you can stab someone you are way close enough to shoot.
