People have appreciated that the missionaries have worn masks and stepped back to distance themselves from the person answering the door, Larsen said.

Maybe they'll appreciate Jehovah's Witnesses even more for not coming to their door at all!

 

Jehovah's people don't want to take those chances. Just one transmission of the virus to another person would be too many.

What is a Kitsap?

Kitsap Sun, Bremerton, WA.  The daily news source of the Kitsap Peninsula.

Though earlier referred to as the Great Peninsula or Indian Peninsula, with "Great Peninsula" still its official name,[1] its current name comes from Kitsap County, which occupies most of the peninsula. It is thus the namesake of Chief Kitsap, an 18th- and 19th-century warrior and medicine man of the Suquamish Tribe.
