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.

Why the change?
by Fadeaway1962 inpossible cancelling the memorial after years of experiences of bro/sis under nazi , communist oppression and many other countries still conducting the memorial under threat of death that the governing body is listening to the superior authorities regarding this virus pandemic.. could it be that after taking control of the k/halls that the branch/governing body would be responsible for any disobedience to the civil authorities and liable for any deaths.. they would have left upto the local body of elders and encouraged obedience to god rather than men and a lack of faith in jehovah to protect his people..

Here in my area i hear they are planning for the memorial to be held at the different service centers, that way they are under 20 at each place. All I know is if I was one of their neighbors during this time I would be very suspicious with 20 well dressed people going to their house.

I just went to my local grocery store and bought toilet tissue (not my usual brand though) eggs, milk, and bread. The meat department was fairly bare, but was able to get pork chops (which I did want) but no ground beef. I checked the paper towels since they are next to the toilet tissue and they were low. I don't use bottled water so I didn't check on that. Interesting note....they had employees wiping down all shopping buggies with a bleach solution after you were finished with it. Funny thing, at 1 pm local time it was empty of people. I saw maybe 8 others shopping. But I am now good for at least a couple of weeks. I wish people would just use good sense and judgement and stop freaking out.

This is from the Pittsburgh PA area....Friends,
In line with Branch directions, consultation with the CO, and based on the national, state and city declarations warning against large groups and public assembly due to the COVID-19 outbreak, a decision has been made to cancel all our Christian Meetings until March 31, 2020.
Field Ministry ActivitiesAdditionally, we will be suspending all public ministry (e.g. door-to-door, cart witnessing, invitation distributions, etc.) activities until further notice. Arrangements will be made through each Field Service Group to distribute letter writing or phone witnessing territories. In line with directions from health officials, please do not lick the stamps (use a damp sponge or another similar methods). For Return Visits or Bible Studies, the recommendation is to conduct them via either phone, email, or video conference or through some other appropriate remote communications.
The Memorial
The Memorial previously scheduled at the Assembly Hall has been cancelled and there will not be a campaign to invite the general public. Further arrangements regarding the Memorial will be communicated at a later date. -

Jehovah's Witnesses can donate blood
by Marvin Shilmer injehovah’s witnesses can donate blood.
today i added a new article to my blog that answers the question of whether watchtower doctrine forbids jehovah’s witnesses from going to their community blood bank and donating some of their blood to help replace all the products from blood accepted on a daily basis by the community of jehovah’s witnesses.. .
my article is titled jehovah’s witnesses can donate blood and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2012/03/jehovahs-witnesses-can-donate-blood.html.

The stance right now is that if you accept a blood transfusion, OR if you donate blood you are effectively disassociating yourself.
...a committee
(not judicial) should obtain the facts and determine the
individual’s attitude. If he is repentant, the committee
would provide spiritual assistance in the spirit of
Galatians 6:1 and Jude 22, 23. Since he is spiritually
weak, he would not qualify for special privileges for a
period of time. In some cases, it may also be necessary
to remove other privileges, such as commenting at
congregation meetings and presenting student
assignments on the midweek meeting. Depending on
the circumstances, the committee may also need to
arrange for an announcement to the congregation at a
midweek meeting: “The elders have handled a matter
having to do with [name of person]. You will be glad to
know that spiritual shepherds are endeavoring to
render assistance.” On the other hand, if the elders on
the committee determine that he is unrepentant, they
should announce his disassociation... -
