i thought this was an interesting site that discusses end of world predictions.
http://www.humanreligions.info/the_end_of_the_world.html.
there are additional links at the end of this page.
Theologically speaking they do when they claim at Armageddon god will cast down balls of fire and destroy all who rejected him and did not worship him.
Which by the JWS proclamations and teachings, that's about 99% of the world's population.
The end of the world in a religoius sense, not the end of the world like the entire world is going to be completely destroyed.
Its clearly identified as a fear mongering apocalyptic religious publishing house.
possible 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..
But Jehovah would protect his chosen people from getting this virus anyway, particularly at a Kingdom Hall on memorial night
Jehovah's holy spirit protects his faithful devoted ones.
i found this video on youtube which correctly explains how religoius cults develop and operate on a psychological and sociological study.. while watching it think of the jws and its general operative behavior.. i think its important to realize many people who fall into cults are usually having some kind unstable problems in their lives looking for answers and relief, the jws are known to exploit people who are under going some personal strife and are venerable to that effect.

True Sea Breeze , men like the JWS men have interpreted the bible toward their own means and self empowerment.
Some of these false bible interpretations by the JWS have come from the pressing endeavor and intent of literature proliferation, perhaps not surprising since this organization has had a publishing house operating at its core from the very beginning..
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.
This documentary reveals how the virus probably started and may have started originally in the open public market in Wuhan China.
China and other countries need to shut down all wet markets like this and create strong laws against this kind of sale of animals.
even if you are young and heathy there are very good reasons to fear this disease and take drastic actions to avoid it individually, and halt it together as communities.
not only would it be traumatic as a society to lose so many old and unwell family members and friends, but survivors of the disease may suffer significant health problems in the future.
survivors of the first sars virus in 2003 have suffered significant lung problems.
Transmission has been extremely rapid all over the world.
Don't agree with that comment, its untrue to the facts people who have traveled aboard in the Asiatic region or have come in contact to those who have traveled are susceptible to catch the virus.
For example to date Canada has had only 176 cases in a population of 37 million.
These are documented cases not deaths .
The there is no qestion this can be a deadly virus for some unfortunate few but the wide spread contagious action is not there, not at least in numbers now.
It will be interesting to see what happens in a couple of weeks .

This year we will celebrating the memorial on April 7 , we are requesting all attendees to wear complete protective clothing during the event, this includes all men, woman and children.
Only the ones who are partaking should remove their respirators and quickly sip the wine and eat the bread.
To all who attend it will be a joyous spiritually uplifting event sure to please Jah and his son Jesus Christ..

This is in harmony with Proverbs 22:3, which says:
“The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself".
Yes this no doubt correctly relates to contagious viruses, those ancient Hebrews were so smart.
it is best to obey these “superior authorities.” (Rom. 13:1)
Why didn't they obey the superior authorities when they found child sexaul abuse happening in the congregations ?, child sexual abuse is illegal and a serious crime in most countries.
everything is closing.
food stores are bustling!
no one can gather in big groups.. if you get this virus do you think you will get very very sick and possibly die?
Certainly governments are under pressure to act and they are using Wuhan as model for closing down the area.
Once the numbers of affected flat lines and goes down they will ease up and calm will eventually be restored, this could take a few weeks though .
Personally I'm pissed they closed down the NHL .
so for years the usa has been relying on cheap labor in china.
supply lines were never interrupted.
china has gotten away with murder in its sending anything it wants with little checking of its goods.
Just to reiterate what Cofty said on this thread and its important.....
China will need to eradicate their disgusting wet markets and join us in 21st century hygiene standards.
Yes absolutely the rest of the world's countries should be strongly pushing for restrictive controls for businesses like wet shops that sell live animals of various kinds who were caught wild and sold for either food, medicinal purposes or pets.
Lets assume that it was just one single shop like this in the open market place in Wuhan that started this virus, add the total lives lost, the damage to the world's economy and it makes for something quite clear .
