england, wales, scotland & n.i.
are independently making or changing the covid 19 lockdown laws/rules to suit themselves... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52600708.
garden centres are opening in wales on monday, in england on wednesday, but by the looks of things, are far too dangerous to open them anytime soon in scotland or n.i.
Hardly Boris' fault that Nicola is posturing to her independence audience. There are areas of law that are devolved to the four countries of the UK. There is absolutely nothing Boris can do if they decide to do their own thing.
Scotland will follow England's lead with a small lag.
I live ten minutes from the Scottish border. Can you imagine the traffic heading south to Berwick garden centre next week!
today is the 75th anniversary of the end of wii in europe.
they were a special generation who were literally prepared to give their lives rather than submit to fascism.
millions paid the ultimate price.
The community spirit and resolve that Brits have shown during this crisis has been very much in the same character as our forebears.
100 year old Captain Tom Moore did 100 laps of his garden and Britain responded by donating £32 million to NHS charities.
The royal family has been an asset as a focal point for national unity. We can criticise the government without being unpatriotic in a national emergency.
brothers and sisters associated with the watchtower society may 9, 2020. i have tried to inform you of the necessary adjustments you ought to take in order to truly be in the truth.
but my efforts have remained fruitless.
you well know the biblical procedure.
Hi S&R good to see you back. Hope you are all recovered?

Today is the 75th anniversary of the end of WII in Europe. They were a special generation who were literally prepared to give their lives rather than submit to fascism. Millions paid the ultimate price. They died so we could live in freedom. For two years Britain and the Commonwealth stood alone in a war it could not hope to win. Russia had signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler and America remained neutral until 1941. America's later contribution to the war was decisive but if Britain had not held the line there would have been no Europe as we know it today.
Of course the war didn't end until the surrender of Japan in August 1945 but May 8th 1945 saw the biggest party Britain has ever seen. Even the princesses Elizabeth and Margaret slipped out of Buckingham Palace to dance the night away with the crowds.
Britain has been celebrating as best it can under current circumstances. Never forget.
does anyone have wts quotations showing that the great crowd members will only be declared righteous and receive everlasting life at the close of the millennium?.
WT 1 December 1985 p17 par.16-20 Declared Righteous as a Friend of God
The “great crowd,” who survive the “great tribulation,” are not already declared righteous for life. We can see this from the fact that the chapter that mentions them goes on to say: “The Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will shepherd them, and will guide them to fountains of waters of life.” (Revelation 7:17) So, even though God previously counted them as righteous compared to mankind in general and as his friends, they need additional help, or steps to be taken, so that they can be declared righteous for life.
During the Millennium, the enthroned Lamb, Christ Jesus, together with his 144,000 associate kings and priests, will apply a program of spiritual and physical “curing of the nations.” (Revelation 22:1, 2) Such “nations” will be made up of the survivors of the great tribulation, any children born to them after Har–Magedon, and those who come back in the “resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15) All who put faith in Christ’s blood and accomplish appropriate “deeds” will eventually have their names written in “the book of life.”—Revelation 20:11-15.
By the end of Christ’s Millennial Reign, those of earth’s inhabitants who have shown that they accept Christ’s ransom and will live by Jehovah’s standards will have been raised to perfection. (Revelation 20:5) They will be as Adam was before he sinned. Like him, they will be tested as to their obedience.
Immediately after the Millennium, Christ will hand over to his Father a perfect human race. (1 Corinthians 15:28) “Satan will be let loose” for a decisive test of mankind. (Revelation 20:7, 8) The names of any who fail under test will not be “found written in the book of life.” They will symbolically be “hurled into the lake of fire,” which “means the second death.”—Revelation 20:15; 21:8.
Those who prove loyal to Jehovah will have their names indelibly written in the “book of life,” as being perfect in integrity and worthy of the right to everlasting life on earth. Jehovah himself will then declare them righteous in the complete sense.
"i've just been told by a nurse just off shift that 6 wards were put aside for cv19 at ninewells hospital in dundee and that only one is being used.
also that the virus is being put as cause of death on almost every death...including one male patient who died of cancer who tested positive but had no effects.
so bear that in mind, and this is genuinely what i've been told what is going on.".
I spent a very long night in Ninewells in Dundee when one of my players got injured during an away game in Fife. Turned out his stomach was ruptured and if we had taken him home on the team bus he wouldn't have made it. Best first aid shout I have ever made.
Sorry back to the topic....
hey all,.
i'm day six of isolation, confirmed to have coronavirus.
i have been seeing very sick cv positive patients over the last month in my a&e role (emergency physician) it was inevitable i would contract it.. just wanted to give some symptom and treatment advice, it's anecdotal but may help.. started as sore throat and headache, then croaky voice, then dry cough, then episodic transient fevers, all this over the first few days.
The BBC have published a list of all NHS workers who have died of Covid19. I know S&R's name and he is not on the list.

I'm hoping he is just really busy back at work on the hospital frontline.
a false prophesy was promulgated?
q. it had to be accepted by jehovah's witnesses?
q. error?
Yes it was.
I met a man in Edinburgh once who was a retired lawyer who had worked on the case for the Procurator Fiscal.
some towns in massachusetts are fining people 1000 dollars for not wearing a mask 😷 outdoors.
starting wednesday, the governor mandates everyone from 2 years of age up, must wear a mask or get a 300 dollar fine!.
of course some governors are recommending that you rat out anyone that doesn’t follow their orders.. i don’t like it!👎🏿.
Hi LV101 - I would agree Coyne's 'Why Evolution is True' is the most straightforward and concise treatment of the debate.
The Blind Watchmaker gets to the heart of the design objection. Both these together will still leave a lot of questions unanswered but it is a good start. Let me know how it goes.
