Mask it or casket

Proverbs 9:10
King James Version
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.


The preaching of Gods kingdom has stopped in places were the virus is.The meetings,conventions etc are all online.Prov 9:10 says a lot who Jehovah is and many run to HIM for protection and instruction.

The door to door preaching as well as the public witnessing is what has stopped.  In our area, we are very busy preaching and teaching by means of letter writing, telephone witnessing and Zoom meetings with interested ones.

As you state, staying close to Jehovah for protection and direction is what all of our brothers and sisters are being asked to do.  Locally our brothers and sisters are doing just that and it has proven to keep us safe and healthy so far.

Once again we have one nay sayer that is providing incorrect information: The centers for disease control and prevention ("CDC") is calling "on Americans to wear masks in order to prevent CoVid 19 spread" (July fourteenth release on CDC web site) and has indicated that cloth face coverings are a critical tool in the fight against CoVid-19; the World Health Organization "advises that governments should encourage the general public to wear masks" (per WebMD.com dated June eighth); and the Ohio Department of Health has issued a public order requiring face masks in public effective July eighth. The nay sayer did indicate that everyne should make their own choice and choose to live their own life but should also have added "or choose not to live their life by not wearing a mask". Once again everyone, please perform your own due diligence before listening to someone that does not.

I just saw on tv Trump now said we should wear masks to stop the spread.

i agree you need to wear a mask where you dont know where the people you are in contact with have been

I am sorry the young man died.  This virus is deadly whether you choose to believe it or not.  Wearing a mask is an inconvenience.  I don't like to wear mine, but the virus is to deadly to not heed the warnings. 

[elvisdo]

Wearing a mask is to help slow the prevention of the virus. It isn't the ultimate protection but it will definitely decrease the rate of transmission.

I think we are being over hyped on the mask issue although they are proven to reduce spread of droplets of saliva.  This is a very serious disease and we should protect ourselves when we can.  What I absolutely detest is the attitude that others should be monitoring and feel completely free to critize those who choose not to wear them.  Not their right! Wear one if you are in a risk situation or with people who have risks.  Don't go where you don't feel safe. Your job is to keep yourself safe.  If we each protect our selves all will be protected.

I really don’t know what to say, but our Secretary of Health states ‘your mask protects me, my mask protects you.’  I don’t like wearing one either, but I do.  Even Trump has turned his thinking around and now states masks should be worn.  Even though I honestly am not looking for a major confrontation I’m sure I will get one.  I think they should be worn, but if someone decides not to, that is their choice and I would respect their decision.

Thank you for the additional info.

I will continue to wear a mask as long as it takes,

[nmbrown863]

Wow, that is very sad. We were just in Florida and no one wore a mask. It was crazy. I definitely see how the cases are skyrocketing there.

[ancmetro]

     That is his choice.
     Poor choices and ignorance may cost his life!

LOL I assume this is directed at me.  I am not a naysayer.    The CDC has said it both ways.  You believe the statement you want to believe and I believe the statement I want to believe.  Orig they said a mask will do no good.  They still say that.  They say unless you are sick you do not need to be wearing a mask. As I said, it depends on which day you hear them talk.  Anybody with a brain should be able to know that little piece of cloth is not going to keep you safe from anything. But keep your security blankie close.  It works for 2 year olds.

Most people can't grasp that.  I don't buy the your mask protects me and mine protects you.  I am so sick of hearing that.  Like I said, make one that protects the wearer.  Turn the mask around and wear it backward.  Then it will protect the person who wears it. People are so stupid.  And will go to as far as risking their life confronting someone not wearing a mask.  I don't care what anybody else does.  I would rather see somebody without a mask on as to wear it around their chin or with their nasty nose hanging out. I must be in the extreme minority because I go to the store and get what I need and leave. I don't micromonitor everyone else in the store and worry about what they are doing, wearing, or putting in their cart. Too busy taking care of me.
