as sgt pepper sang, "it was 20 years ago today" ... that i made my first post on my first forum.. i obviously didn't put too much thought into what it should say although i must have burned 45 posts testing things and was too lazy to reset the counter before going live (?):.
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/46/welcome.
but somehow, it worked and grew and here we all are, 20 years on.
Simon ... a happy 20th ... I've been here 17+
I will have a lot more to say in a later post but I just wanted to thank you and your wife for everything.
My wife and I have never been to Alberta (only BC) but would love to see the Canadian Rockies and invite you and Angharad to a nice dinner when we are in your area, if you can put up with me ... lol. I promise, no politics ... lol.
Peace brother, peace.

even though i am partially in the it area of business, i don't understand here how people are saying that someone can control a camera through zoom.
so if i am sitting with a shirt and tie, someone on the other end can can control the camera and see that i am naked from the waist down and periodically have an itch?
or quickly move to the side and have a beer?.
People are unable to see where they aim, hence the comment about being naked. We have seen big gulps, bare feet, ceilings, foreheads, and some lousy makeup
road to nowhere ...
This could make some interesting, as they call it, "amateur porn."

hey guys,.
i'm out of the jws for 12 years now and stopped thinking about the whole thing a long time ago.. but recently, i wondered how jws deal with corona?
i've read on the forums that they suspended meetings and tried to hold them online.. but are they still doing field service?.
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.

tonight the government of the netherlands / holland, here, suspended all meetings until june, 1.. g..
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.

isaiah 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.

"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!.
JW's - get ready to "voluntarily contribute" to the org's payment for Zoom. LOL.

i 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.
