hey guys,.
i'm out of the jws for 12 years now and stopped thinking about the whole thing a long time ago.. but recently, i wondered how jws deal with corona?
i've read on the forums that they suspended meetings and tried to hold them online.. but are they still doing field service?.
Meeting and FS has been totally suspended in Fort worth Texas, USA.
My PIMI wife got a call from an elder instructing her to install zoom in her phone for the VDO conference on meetings
And she was also told to write letter to return visits. She asked me for stamps which I didn’t have. And then she is doing return visits on whatsapp. I am wondering how more funny this would get.
have you guys seen jw.org today?
the main article is entitled “the four horsemen of revelation.”.
looks like the pale rider has arrived..... .
When we travel in Jet planes and cars, why does the heaven still have horses ? Just curious
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?
".
The Memorial of JWs this year has become a 5 star comedy show.
so we are a couple weeks into this crisis with the meetings being cancelled.
and you would think the fds would have provided the sheep with helpful spiritual guidance in these times of need.
wtf do they have jw broadcasting for then?
Here is the food at the proper time
WT says that attending meetings and FS are the most valuable, precious and most essential thing a JW had to do. And Jah is speeding up this process, as time gets near. And the angels are protecting the people who are doing this. And there is blood guilt upon anyone who does not preach to others.
With that in mind, let’s consider the fact that all meetings and FS are cancelled now.
So where have the angels gone ? Shouldn’t the meetings and FS be continued amidst this Virus scare ? Wouldn’t Jah protect his people from the Virus, when they are doing this ?
In that way, Jah can prove that this he is the Almighty and WT is his Organization.
But what’s the reality now….. Think dear JWs.

On second thought, cancelling all meetings and field service is the best news jw's have had in decades!
True, I think atleast 75% Jws are happy about it.
today all jw's in holland are informed that all meetings, the preaching work and the circuits are halted / closed because of sars-covid-19 / "corona".
first till march, 30 and then maybe longer.. the first time that the jw work in holland completely stopped.
the memorial will be held only for jw's.
Jesus never invited any spectators when he initiated the memorial (in fact he kicked one out).
The Bible doesn't say spectators must watch the anointed pass the bread every year.
There was no provision in the Pascha meal for people not to join in the meal. Egyptians were not invited into the homes of the Jews to watch them eat. No, not even the Egyptians that later joined the Jews on their exodus (according to the myth).
Thats true. This ceremony that JWs do is like a circus clown event. Why do nonpartakers need to attend ?. To passover the emblems ? Thats a funny and silly thing.
And Jesus said "Whoever does not eat my flesh and drink my blood will not have eternal life"
So this human flesh Eating and Human blood drinking(Yuck) is mandatory for every christian.

The Memorial will be held only for JW's. No guests allowed.
Why cant they have the memorial only for the anointed. That would be even safer
my wife pimi wife said today...." the tribulation has started" i was like wtf... i know things are bad.
but...... we have had other pandamics and market crashes in the past.
1889: russian flu 360,000 perished.
Mathew 24: 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
To give a fitting reply to a JW who claims the End has started....
Jesus said the Kingdom would be preached in all the World. Has this been done in Every nation ?
There are still nations where JWs cannot preach. How do they Explain this.
with the coronavirus now categorized as a global pandemic and many large gatherings are now social distancing for safety concerns of contacting and spreading the virus.. will the memorial of christ death take place on april 7 2020 worldwide where thousands will gaether in large crowds to commemorate the death of jesus as commanded in the bible.
jesus gave the command to keep doing this in remembrance of him or will sound, reasonableness and good judgment for safety overrule on that special night.
my guess is that it will not be canceled regardless of the frightening and very real pandemic the virus has caused around the world!.
