It's awesome. We had meeting ourselves and never was there such a wonderful feeling from a meeting in such a long time. So much pretence and pressure to conform to the expectations of man in meetings today š. So far we prefer this.

All meetings in NZ canceled until further notice. Maybe just maybe it may show some that the meeting has nothing to do with earning our salvation, but everything to do with celebrating the finished work! of our risen redeemer, and that if there was never any meetings ever again this wouldn't alter the finished work of Christ. Somehow I think this is wishful thinking though.

Don't know where you live but it seems like you may not want to have fellowship with your brethren? It has nothing to do with human feelings or conforming to mans ideas. It is for love of Christ in us and expressing that love with those of the same spirit.

What will the Workers do, they are out of a job. Guess they can apply for un-employment benefits, the same as other workers are doing.

I do believe like Jesus implied... most of God's people WON'T "make it". No idea who will or won't but the signs are definitely evident.

Do you think you need, any part of the 2x2 rituals or traditions to be saved?.

They will live off the resources that we delightedly give them. technically, they'll spread the gospel to the same amount of people as they would otherwise, so not much will change I suppose .

They will live off the resources that we delightedly give them. We used to delightedly put money in the plate when we went to Church. Made a nice sound as you emptied out all the small change. And when I was Treasurer it was a delight to count it and put it in the bank. Meant I was able to give the Minister his stipend each fortnight. I was always happy to read the monthly financial report to the congregation, they knew that the money was being spent wisely.

What rituals or traditions? Professing. So you don't want to express your devotion to Christ before others? Now you mentioned rituals or traditions of what I believe you have not mentioned one but mentioned a devotion of love.
