  SNP lost 21 seats. The people of Scotland have given them a clear message that they are fed up with Sturgeon's divisive ideology. Indy2 isn't going to happen any time soon.

  35 seats is a clear win but the direction of travel is rapid decline. SNP have had their day. Small-minded nationalism has lost it's appeal.

  In the UK it costs the NHS huge sums of money to administer radiotherapy and chemo. For us there is no financial motive. It works. It's not the magic bullet but it's the best we have.

  I would be dead by now if it was not for conventional cancer treatment.

  The future probably lies in therapies based on the specific genetic causes of cancer. Cancer isn't one disease. There no "cure for cancer". There are many related diseases that all involve the uncontrolled replication of cells.

  so i thought my purpose was to serve jehovah and get baptised.

  where do i go now to get baptised?

  is baptism even a requirement for serving god or was that just for the disciples and people of that time.

  It does take time to adjust Libby.

  Learning to find meaning in real life every day is important.

  Naive kids and urban hipsters adore Corbyn.

  Those of us old enough to remember labour governments of days of yore know how this always ends.

  On the other hand Theresa May was dreadful. She has two secret advisers who are obviously useless. She doesn't trust her cabinet enough to take their advice. The way she bodged the social care policy was shambolic and then pretending it wasn't a u-turn was insulting. Avoiding live debates was cowardice.

  Now she has to depend on 10 Protestant fundies in the DUP which raises a problem for Northern Irish politics. How can the government moderate even-handedly between the DUP and Sinn Fein if they depend on one of them for political survival?

  Anyone who says they can cure it via grape juice, prayer, chemo or any other means is the worst sort of montebank

  Bizarre that you put chemo in the same grouping as grape juice.

  Disfellowshipped for being complicit in someone else's sin - really?!

  by Isambard Crater in

  a close friend of mine who is pimo (only staying in for family reasons) in a neighboring congregation called me in tears tonight saying her dad (elder) is telling her he is seriously considering reporting her to her local elders and she could get disfellowshipped.. the reason?

  because she is complicit in a gross sin, according to him, by going with her best friend (not a j.w.

  ) when the friend had an abortion.

  Giving support or encouragement to a friend to obtain an abortion could be a judicial matter.

  I'm surprised she is surprised by that.

  One of the few positive things I agree with the Society on is not being part of this world re politics

  Literally everything you do every day depends on politics.

  Human origins pushed back further into the past

  science is a self-correcting journey.

  any error in thought will be corrected by later research or discoveries, so the common concept that we humans (homo sapiens) developed something like 200,000 years ago is undergoing a major correction.

  the discovery of fossilised bones of at least five individuals have been recovered from an old mine in morocco.

  I remember when even most scientists didn't think that homo sapiens had been around more than 50,000 years

  Really? I've always thought 100,000 was a conservative figure.
