Yep, the same was read at our meeting this evening.
The letter started with: to all congregations in Canada...
It was mentioned that there are more covid cases again and other respiratory illnesses...
So strong recommendation to wear masks when attending the meetings in person for the coming time. 😟
It’s the vaccines causing people to have Covid and other respiratory illnesses. 🙁

here where i live they said that from october the Gb did no longer reccommend facemasks at meetings, it was up to each individual If you wanted to wear it.. Unless our local health authorities states different, then we should follow what they say. At least that was how i understood it. But i suspect thats coming back very soon.. there was a newsarticle on NRK the national state channel where a leader of an Emergency Rescue said that they were being overrun with people getting sick with anything but covid and he wanted to raise the alarm. Then they throttled out the guy whos been frontfigure for pushing shots and masks (local fauci)who claimed its all due to some anomaly and that people should go and get both the influenca shot and their covid boosters 🤪 because that should protect them🤡

My boss and I both just got sick with something. Almost over it. About 4 days long and nothing I haven't had before. Clogged head, cramps and aches with some fever. Kind of like some years of the flu I've had.
When I was working for the school, they wanted a doctor's note or a test, which of course exposes more people but let's them add to their running tally.
Cold day in hell I ever trust another doctor.

The GB claimed that Jehovah provided the vaccines so that JW's could stay in the land of the living. Presumably, most JWs have dutifully taken the jab to be united and to show their subjection to theocratic direction. If the jabs are safe and effective why on earth would anyone who has been injected have to concern themselves with wearing a mask? It is just more gaslighting.

I really don't think they can pull this off again to the extent that they did in 2020. Many of the ultra compliant are either disabled or dead by now. People have had a taste of freedom and "normalcy" that will not be given up so easily this time. Maybe its wishful thinking but I dont see as many people complying this time around and I'm one of them. If they want masks at meetings, there will be one less person there on my end. I can sit at home in comfort and study by myself. I'm not doing it again.

Something that I've been wondering. Hebrews 10:25 "gathering together ... as the day draws near" was meant for encouragement. Encouragement is one of the most oft abused words in the JW vocabulary. From comments I am reading, meetings sound like they have become depressing and a source of coercion instead of the light that keeps us going.
I am trying to word this the right way but, it seems like the Hall isn't a very joyous place to be right now. Gathering together was supposed to be for our benefit but what happens when there is no more benefit. From what I saw on Zoom the few times I watched Sunday meeting, the spiritual meals are worse than MRE's and there is little to no meat on the table. Then to have to endure the mask and jab hysteria just seems like a message is being sent out.

Last night at our meeting we had to endure swollen faced Lett's GB update #7...Wooohooo! So encouraging.

Being forced to endure that guy's antics should be a Guantanamo torture tactic....ok, ok I'll tell you everything you want to know....just no more updates...pleeeease!

I honestly feel embarrassed being in a foreign country having to view that crazy man's antics on the screen, wondering what these people must think of Americans. No folks we're not all like that. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m hoping they go full throttle again! Like was discussed before I too hope the GB pull something ridiculous that may just expose them as having no “heavenly direction”. Even those who believed the cvd game won’t be eager to mask up again. So embarrassing at this point.

We cannot stomach him for a second. Especially in older videos he talks normally and now it’s obviously an act. Like someone told him to play a dramatic cult leader and talk to everyone like children. If that was the LDS leader we would mock him publicly but because he’s GB he gets taken seriously. I watched a video recently going over the public real estate records between Lett and his non witness brother Tim. Apparently we’re so close the the last of the last of the last days he needed to invest in waterfront homes 🙄🙄
