Is zoom an option this year? I haven't heard anything, I hope so.
I hope it's an option. I haven't heard anything

Weren't they going to keep zoom as an option for the elderly, etc? I haven't heard anything yet but surely there will be at least a recording.
They will have something. Our kh is full of us older ones. I won't be at kh and other older ones won't either. Know way am I sitting in there with no decent ventilation and every other week friends are getting ill from covid at my hall.
I can't get 🤮 JUST going to dentist for me is a medicated mess. And the whole time at dentist I am 2 mini seconds from a panic attack with hygienist or dr. In my face 😔 UGH!!
YUCK!!
I avoid crowds at all costs. i am sure zoom or phone tie in will be available.

Idk our memorial is at a firehall so not sure how that's going to work.
That sounds interesting. I’m in a dilemma. The congregation we attended in NH before Covid is not having a Memorial there. Instead we are directed to go to another congregation in a town that is extremely all Covid nonsense. I wouldn’t be surprised if the town council didn’t require masks and a vaccine. It’s near a liberal college town. We listened on JW.org last year. We don’t do Zoom and never plan on that. Any suggestions?

The very first building that was called a “Kingdom Hall” is located in Honolulu.

There is a very interesting historical account from the year around 1820 regarding Hawaiian Chiefess Kapiolani when she was converted to Christianity by the missionaries. In the Hawaiian islands the Hawaiian language was not written and was only verbal until the missionaries came in the 19th century. So, once the Hawaiian people learned to read and write, they often read the bible. To this day the people here are both religious and superstitious. Chiefess Kapiolani learned Jehovah’s name and used it when she exposed the false god, Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes and fire.
Here is the story:

Here is the story:
“Jehovah is my God. … I fear not Pele.”
In 1822, Naihe and Kapiʻolani were among the first chiefs to welcome instruction and accept Christianity. Kapiʻolani was the daughter of Keawemauhili, who was the high chief of the district of Hilo…

My husband and I had our honeymoon there in 1987, and then took our teenage children there years later. Such a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful, historical account. So many things to learn!There is a very interesting historical account from the year around 1820 regarding Hawaiian Chiefess Kapiolani when she was converted to Christianity by the missionaries.

Go to jw.org>about us>Memorial>find a Memorial. Several local locations should pop up on your screen, although you may have to enter a zip code. Get info on each location and decide which one you want to go to.

E+E, we have made the executive decision to jettison the card idea. Thank you for helping us come to that decision!

Hi @goldie and those asking if Zoom is an option to virtually attend the memorial program. We just announced will use zoom, but only for very select circumstances. So, it will not be on the invites, nor will it be publicly shared; however, if there is genuine interest in attending and due to extenuating circumstances, the zoom link can be shared. This will depend on how this plays out for each cong and what instruction their publishers get. Because our territory is far and vast, if someone from a far that speaks the lang of our cong says they wish to attend, am inclined to say, we'll share the link. So, short answer is yes, but will depend on where you live and what direction the local congs were given. 🤷♂️ Anyone else know more?

My entire argument went completely over your head. Everything you wrote is irrelevant to my argument. My argument is "if they think Covid 19 is so bad they have to shut the Kingdom halls down, then since vaccines are also contagious according to the same "science" they use, then the Kingdom Halls should also be shut down because of vaccines." therefore I will not expose me or my family to the vaccine.
I don't care if it makes sense...that's the point, it's not supposed to make sense!

First…. I’m old enough to understand the “live or memorex” reference. 😁
My phone and e-mail have been blowing up lately with Memorial invites/inquiries. I have a feeling that I’ll bake (that’s a fib…. my wife will bake) some unleven bread, and we’ll stay consistent with Zoom attendance.

The issue is our insanity only goes so far, and then we are lost to it! Some of us follow the insanity further than others! I am able to bend the insanity better than others, or am i? We all witnessed what happened last week....
