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.?
Central/Northern Californians are sort of nervous but hey Californians are a little wacky anyway. We're very liberal out here and certainly not used to being indoors even in the winter. This winter has been mostly very dry but it started raining some last week. The road traffic is clearly much lighter but the beaches and parks are still getting visitors. Just a time to hunker down and wait it out.

over at jw talk they're saying because they're having to hold the upcoming memorial at home, they dont need to actually have the emblems.
apparently, listening to or watching the talk is the thing that counts.. "do this in rememberence of me" apparently means watching tony morris on your phone give a talk.. this begs the question... "what's the point?
".
I'd say that beer and pretzels are an acceptable substitute for wine and bread and I bet the jews would have preferred it too!

with the existing and still to come covid19 lock downs in many countries i wonder if not being obliged to attend meetings and field service will give many jws the opportunity to clear their mind a little and start to see the cracks.
i know they will be expected to log on to their devices but with no one other than family to monitor this it could be a circuit breaker for many.
of course the fear of end times pestilence may counter that.
Nearly all of the jw's that I know and talk to (all of my immediate family) are looking at this situation as a ' stay-cation' or a stay at home vacation from the wt treadmill of endless and continuous meetings/f/assemblies/conventions! Inwardly they are not disappointed and once they realize that they can find alternative activities to fill the dull void of continuous meetings/f/assemblies/conventions no telling what might happen.

So it's ok to break god's law which clearly states.."Keep doing this in remembrance".. if the circumstances are critical!
But if you're gonna die without a blood transfusion it's NOT okay to break god's law about abstaining from blood!
I guess it depends on the definition of critical circumstances.

for myself, there is an embarrassingly long list of things that really should really have woken me up, fully.
it was a long process for me, as a mind controlled born in, things i simply did not agree with, or knew were downright wrong, that built and built, and, eventually i woke up, after 58 bloody years in !.
but just mainly for fun, what should have woken you up ?.
1975
the memorial each family to have wine and unleavened bread to pass around (isolated bro who's a recovering alcoholic).
limit watching the news regarding the virus look on jw.org and the gb will keep us informed (they know better than medical professionals).
ministry suspended but use any opportunity to speak to people and give them a jw.org card(the virus still active on card).
We're house bound for Covid-19 so I won't be able to get to a store to purchase bread and wine but I'm pretty sure that jehober will be okay if we use beer and pretzels instead! In fact, I doubt he'll even notice!

...tell the sheeple that "jehovah's earthly organization" is financially facing critical times, hard to deal with, which could threaten its survival and that it urgently requires as much money as the minions can send.. like every other business in the world, the cult needs a constant source of cash to exist.
so with meetings, assemblies, and probably conventions being cancelled, the cash-cow is rapidly looking very precarious.. i reckon the financial brains in the wtbts will have devised a financial survival plan - based on the situation continuing/worsening.
:) the sheep have all been fleeced - time to skin them!.
If they ask for any more than my wife already donates, I'll tell her to suggest that the GB first sell of their luxury campus in Warwick (that must be worth a billion easy) and just rent some space until Armageddon! How much property do you need to own to make videos?

"the governing body loves you!".
the gb lovingly spends millions to ship literature everywhere.
the gb lovingly has toilet paper regularly delivered to elite watch tower facilities around the world.. will the unfailing love of the gb move them to ship toilet paper to their needy followers?
It's been reported that some are using dryer sheets to wipe with. The dryer sheets are reusable. They are a bit coarse at first but they do leave your ass very soft, smooth, and wrinkle free!
Warning for young men only!! Do not let the dryer sheets come into contact with other body parts that you do not want soft!

they were told to risk imprisonment to keep meeting and preaching because "we must obey god rather than men".
while here in the u s. we voluntarily cancel meetings and preaching because "we need to be in subjection to the superior authorities".
thoughts?.
The difference between the Russian situation and the situation here in the USA is simple: The GB is located here in the USA so in order for them to remain in business, they, (new light) "must obey man rather than god"! Oh! and tough shit for the Russians they just live in the wrong country!

The GB's been preaching shit for a long time so it's about time for them to start wiping it up! Their "old light" literature works in a pinch!
