You will be so surprised to learn about this. We all know the efforts our organization goes through to continue to provide meetings for all during the pandemic. That even includes the deaf community, who continue to have sign language meetings on Zoom like the rest of us. There are also the blind, who can still listen to our meetings.

 

But, what can we do for those who are both deaf and blind? Under normal circumstances, they use what is called tactile sign language, which means that the spoken word is “signed” to a deaf and blind person by touch. But how can they do that over Zoom, which relies on at least one of the two senses of sight or sound? How can we use touch sign language at the risk of transmitting the virus to them, or vice-versa? You will be so happy to know that our deaf-blind community, albeit small, is not overlooked. And… you will be so touched!

 

This video was produced by the information office of Jehovah’s Witnesses for the media.

 

And, an article in the press was written on the same subject.

A deaf-and-blind brother was baptised in the 2019 Love Never Fails Seoul International Convention. He was given the baptism question using tactile-sensation sign language. I knew about those brothers who were coming into the truth, but it’s very touching to see how they are holding on during this pandemic.
