From what I have heard, for pioneers tested positive with the coronavirus, in order to maintain their monthly hours, the latest directive is that they are only allowed to make home visits to DA, DF and apostate homes.

As long as you can get the raw herring with onions (which I love), I would get a good stockpile of Heineken and ride the wave (or bike the wave) and we will get through it.

Are they expecting some sort of 360 degree camera?
Or if I am on camera, can't I just minimize the screen, let them watch me, and watch TV?
Your comments are appreciated.

"Go, my people, enter your inner rooms..."
by Smiles inisaiah 26:20 is now being used in private discussions among upper echelons of watch tower elites as a premise to infer covid19 pandemic related protocols are preparing the jw masses for that great overdue end-time deliverance.. "go, my people, enter your inner rooms, and shut your doors behind you.
hide yourself for a brief moment until the wrath has passed by.
" - isaiah 26:20. if the hype and fanaticism produce more failed expectations, watch tower may experience a 1975-like membership disaster.

"Go, my people, enter your inner rooms, And shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a brief moment Until the wrath has passed by."
We have to realize that this scripture relates to bad weather when the tornado sirens start. It's a responsible thing to do if you don't have an underground shelter.

Zoom App Facing Probs? Another mishap or money grabbing opportuity?
by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara in"while we have seen increased usage of our service globally, there are no assurances that we will also experience an increase in paying customers or that new or existing users will continue to utilize our services at the same levels after the outbreak has tempered,” zoom said in the filing.. https://mspoweruser.com/zoom-warns-investors-they-may-become-a-victim-of-their-own-success-as-costs-spiral/.
at the moment lots of jdumbs are using the 40 minute free modes, but the paper says it has made it free since the corona crisis.. i was just thinking this could lead to either a problem for jdumbs if zoom puts a hefty price for users or,their may be a opportunity for washtowel to dig their fingers into the pie as we have seen in their dealings.
its all about the money.. perhaps washtowel will develop their own and sell it to their members since they have most of this technology set up....donations can pour in again like water.... what are your thoughts!.

Have you Witnessed a Change in People's Life-Style / Behaviour where you Live?
by smiddy3 ini certainly have , over the normal week i go to one of two clubs where i have two beers over a couple of hours ( i pace myself ) and catch up with a few friends .
one of the clubs every hour goes around to disinfect everywhere people make contact with pokies /machines or whatever we might touch.and they also now have limits as to how many can be in a certain area at any one time.and that applies to both clubs ,except one does not disinfect every hour.. today, their were far fewer people in this particular club that i attended that is usually bustling with patrons on a saturday either drinking gambling and socializing .not today.
and a strict rule of how many could be in a certain area at any one time .. and i agree with all of this , its necessary .and i will be monitoring my own activities as need be.. what have you noticed in your neck of the woods.?

Yes, we are not under a full-shutdown here in South Florida (yet) but so much of the tourist activity has been reduced by 70-80%. In fact, the Florida Keys are being virtually shut down for tourism. Plus, the beaches are being closed since the Spring-Breakers are just treating this as business as usual.
Restaurants and bars can only sell food to go. Schools are closed. All of the strip clubs are closed (no lap dances). There is even talk on the news that there could be a full shutdown here like they are doing in California, New York, Illinois and New Jersey.
Things here are on a day-by-day basis as is the case in many other areas.

2020 Memorial - No Need To Actually Have The Emblems
by pale.emperor inover 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?
".

The emblems, whether you have them or not will be invisibly present.
Anna ...
Yes, I don't want any invisible wine. If I do the Memorial at home, a nice carafe of merlot will be needed. I will be substituting Triscuits for the bread.

Generally Speaking Do You Trust Your Government?
by minimus inas a us citizen, i am usually a bit skeptical of what comes out of the mouths of government officials.
often they may speak the truth but i’m not convinced of whatever they are saying as being 100% true.
do you believe your government implicitly?

I certainly wouldn't make fun of President Trump's hair
LV101 ...
It's not just the hair (or orange glue-on wreath he wears). It's painting your eyes white and your face orange.
Come on now, you know what I am saying.
If Obozo or George W. had done that they would have been laughed off the stage. Imagine Obozo or George W. with orange shit on their head and face.
