  it's going to be a fader's paradise.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/q9e9pg/and_so_it_begins/?%24deep_link=true&correlation_id=fb861c4a-8c7e-4bad-b1e3-4c86b3254daf&post_fullname=t3_q9e9pg&post_index=1&ref=email_digest&ref_campaign=email_digest&ref_source=email&utm_content=post_title&%243p=e_as&_branch_match_id=936859150293933406&utm_medium=email%20amazon%20ses.

  Update re Australia.

  It is confirmed that the entire state of Western Australia and the Island state of Tasmania are resuming in person meetings from November 1st.

  Because both of these states don't have Government imposed lock downs or restrictions in place (apart from Hobarts 3 day snap lock down), there have not been any specific instructions from the branch regarding vaccination requirements, mask wearing, social distancing etc.

  Circuit Overseers however, have been instructed not to attend if they have not been fully (double dosed) vaccinated.
  

  My source stated there were concerns among his elder body at the lack of directives given the possibility of a potentially positive case attending while being asymptomatic.

  It is also obvious to us that when Australia opens its State borders the Delta variant will become evident in the states that don't currently have infection outbreaks.
  

  And as I mentioned in another post, the South Island of New Zealand is also going ahead with in person meetings commencing November 1st.

  Well. in Western Australia I'm told by an elder that the whole state is resuming 'in person' meetings.

  I wonder if they will have the same protocols as the Hong Kong branch, it's outlined on another thread.

  Edit: this letter.

  a couple of threads over on reddit that there is a letter to elders on restarting meetings.

  can anyone confirm?.

  Yep, as usual, the gibbering buddies are full of shit.

  They need money so need 'in person activities' to as continue tithing surreptitiously.

  My PIMO and POMO associates are spewing and laughing respectively.

  Just announced onjwborg.

  Some congs will be trialing in person meetings from 1st November.

  Here in Australia, a cong that has Saturday public meetings in Western Australia will announce today that they have been selected. No actual details re vaccination versus unvaccinated etc etc
  

  The Australasia branch has also designated the South Island of NZ,

  And some small pacific Islands to take part in the trial.

  I'll keep you posted if i hear any more.

  The talk among elders in WA is "isn't this a bit premature?"

  well, it has happened.. workers in these industries will be forced to vax or lose their employment.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-01/victoria-which-authorised-workers-mandatory-vaccination-onsite/100506980.

  i'm glad to be out of the workforce.. never thought it would come to this in a supposed democratic society.. no wonder protests and law suits are increasing in intensity.

  Well actually,

  The tightest restrictions are here in my home state of Victoria.

  Melbourne has had the longest most detrimental lock-down globally.
  

  Other states are having stadium sports and construction is open.

  Restaurants and pubs are open with some restrictions.

  Whereas we can only get take-away foods etc. Supermarkets are open with restricted hours.
  

  The Australian Football League Grand Final was played in Western Australia. It's usually in Melbourne.
  

  The Australian Rugby Grand Final will be played in Queensland, not in NSW.
  

  The V8 Supercars season will resume late October in New South Wales after two events

  in Victoria having been cancelled by Dictator/ Chairman Dan. "due to cov19" fucking chinese.
  

  Only some Local Government Areas in other states are being locked down, not the entire states or cities.

  And, the Independent Police Integrity Unit are investigating numerous human rights violations by police in Victoria.

  So yes, we Victorians are seriously pissed off.

  it's seems that even the revised edition of the book revelation: it's grand climax a hand was wrong again.. in the 2019 agm david splane "clarified our understanding of the prophecy recorded in joel 2".

  clarified?

  you mean he done a 180 reversal.. from revelation: it's grand climax a hand page 143, para.

  Hi All,

  It's often difficult to sift through all the available information to find the substantiated facts.

  It is however interesting.

  https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjWmMO8oqjzAhU_xjgGHcP_CswQFnoECAUQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.abajournal.com%2Fnews%2Farticle%2Fnewly-minted-lawyer-challenges-covid-restrictions-in-series-of-lawsuits-one-judge-called-filings-an-impenetrable-thicket&usg=AOvVaw2UHnb0vo_G9X5Af5jd7L6b

  And here another attempt to discredit Renz.

  https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjWmMO8oqjzAhU_xjgGHcP_CswQFnoECAMQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Finvestigations%2F2021%2F09%2F20%2Fvaccine-lawsuits-thomas-renz-covid%2F&usg=AOvVaw1Y4DRWJLF9b5C4dLqgTNKn

  I'm sure many will watch with interest as the whole scenario of the 'Wuhan' virus plays out.

  I dunno,, where there's smoke there is usually bit of a fire.
