this 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.
I don't understand what South Korea has that we don't have.
Perhaps the people there are used to working together rather than insisting on individuality at any cost. Trying to get a nation of people, each with their own opinion, to pull in one direction, must be like herding cats. People won't even stop buying toilet paper and stealing masks let alone agree upon or follow a plan of action.
i went to my local walmart today and most of the can goods and frozen foods were sold out.
i did a web search from where i buy ammo from, lucky gunner, sg ammo, buds and others.
bulk ammo is sold out just over night.
bulk ammo is sold out just over night. Gone. Hundreds of thousands of rounds gone
Makes sense...if you're going to stock up on toilet paper you might as well stock up on suppositories, I mean bullets, while you're at it.

4- Selective Use of JW Stream: Making use of JW Stream should be considered only when other alternatives are not possible. JW Stream should not be used as a substitute for congregation meetings week after week.
I suppose too many JW's online at once could break the internet.
of all the things people decided they needed to stockpile for a potential quarantine.
all of the stores around my area ran completely out of toilet paper this last weekend.
people were piling it into their carts and vehicles as if they were going to be holed up for a year.

- I figure that with all the crack-downs on plastic bottles that they had to hatch a scheme to boost sales...
- We have assholes from Raleigh driving 1.5 hours, to raid our local community stores and the stores around us.
Come-on folks...these are probably not the best expressions to use when commenting on a serious post about toilet paper. LOL !
a while back, we had a saturday wedding reception for a brother and sister from our kingdom hall.
the reception ended at midnight.
most of us got home at around 1:00 a.m. our sunday public talk meeting started at 9:30 a.m. .
i am curious can a single jw sister get a breast augmentation?
will the elders disfellowship her?
will jehovah be angry with her or upset?
... or rather listen to the advice on their jw news website:.
show love to others.
while we all know the importance of attending christian meetings and participating in the public ministry, if you are sick, it is best to stay home to avoid infecting others.
As much as they look forward to the new system, no JW wants to take advantage of their resurrection privileges, early so I think they'll have an on line celebration and each JW can have their own bread and wine at home to pass around and not partake of.
12 hours ago someone resurrected a post by marvin shilmer from years ago.
it was then that i realized that i haven't seen a post from him for a while.
a check shows it's been 4 years.
He's working on his next movie "Shilmers List part ll"
written and produced by bible writers...you can't make this up!.
who needs hollywood scriptwriters when you already have a bible story that has drama, suspense, and unbelievable twists and turns?
imagine the story of a man who visits prostitutes, kills a 1,000 man army with a skull bone, kills a lion with his bare hands, loses his strength by getting a haircut, gets his eyes gouged out, works at a grain mill and tears down columns with his bare hands, killing himself and the philistines!
Where does one get the jawbone of an ass anyway?
i ask you all would anyone of you throw a party and have everyone atttending just to look at the refreshments?
would you invite people to a meal only to not be allowed to eat?.
absurd you say!.
Millions are invited but only to look at refreshments, never to eat a meal but invited to The lords evening meal! All be warned, tis the crazy season soon,be prepared to receive invites, visits and love-bombing for nought!
I don't recall seeing anywhere in the Bible that Jesus followers went around inviting the general public to the Lords Evening Meal. JW's don't know what to say when you ask them to show you where they got the idea that they had to do this.
