  1. I had it verified directly from our previous CO who is an SKE instructor so it's official.
  2. I don’t drink wine so that was an easy B and C for me 😁
  3. And New York State now has more positive cases (149,316) than any other country (not counting USA). Crazy!
  4. Any reason why iCloud couldn’t fulfill this? It does everything you’re asking for with very little effort.
  5. These are the guidelines for NY. We’re staying home almost exclusively. My husband has an “essential” job so he is still working. His employer advised him to have his work badge on him when traveling to and from work in case things get more stringent.
  6. Here’s the comprehensive list of “essential” businesses if anyone is interested. https://esd.ny.gov/guidance-executive-order-2026?fbclid=IwAR1Wyr6solR6GRnMN9xM5td9f4X5PT22ProaY7vn6OVFhOeiaRwd5Frk0EA
  7. Just got the news from my husband (an elder). They had a teleconference with the CO and all meetings, ministry and memorial are canceled until further notice.
  8. It probably depends where you are. We’re not distributing invitations through letter writing either. The governor has reduced occupancy rates in half so if we’re able to have a memorial we’ll only have enough room for our congregation and maybe a few extras.
  9. Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson have tested positive for the Coronavirus https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/tom-hanks-rita-wilson-coronavirus/story?id=69547484
  10. Watching the press conference now. The National Guard will be in New Rochelle (the biggest outbreak spot in the US) to assist with cleaning surfaces and distributing food.
  11. New York has declared a state of emergency. First cases upstate in Saratoga County north of Albany. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/07/new-york-governor-andrew-cuomo-declares-state-of-emergency-over-coronavirus-outbreak.html Up to 76 cases now. From Monday to today it’s been doubling, 1-2-11-22-44-76.
  12. I pray for you dear brothers and sisters. Critical times hard to deal with indeed! I’m glad the elders and the branch are taking it so seriously. We don’t have any confirmed cases up where we are (central NY) but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time. Stay safe everyone!
  13. My brother was supposed to have friends from Walkill stay at his house this weekend but they had to cancel their visit because Bethel is on lockdown.
  14. This is awesome! I’ve gone through the first 2 lessons. It’s so well done. Simple but very clear and effective with lots of pictures, videos and simple quizzes. Plenty of supplemental information too.
  15. Article is up on their website... http://www.newsweek.com/jehovahs-witnesses-939860
  16. Well, you can tell I'm a sister! I thought you were talking about sisters highlighting their hair with unnatural hair colors (pink, purple, etc). 😂 Carry on...
  17. Fantastic experiences! What a reward for not giving up on people. Thank you for sharing.
  18. I finished it too. Lots of drama and an exciting read! I can't wait to read the final installment. It's interesting to see this brother's ideas of how the GT will play out. I look forward to seeing how close this comes to reality.
  19. You should probably delete this. The You Tube user who posted this is calledThe Governing Body of Apostate Witnesses
  20. "Russian court bans Jehovah's Witnesses, rules group is extremist: agencies" http://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-religion-jehovah-s-idUSKBN17M1ZT?il=0
