Just use common sense. It's a disease that's mainly transmitted from person to person, so keep your distance. I've become quite adept at growling ferociously at those who don't.

As boomers of 1946 we kids were still affected by WW2. My dad was still in the RAF after completing 43 trips in Lancasters. I saw him in his uniform most days. Any trip to the shops meant taking along a ration book. The first thing you asked the shop keeper was "Do I need coupons?" Food was very short - you'll find that boomers aren't too picky when it comes food, mainly because you just went without if you didn't eat it. School dinners were shit, greens, mashed potato and some indeterminate type of meat - every day! My mother had to work, I was travelling on public transport alone at age 5 to go stay with relatives at the end of the school day. The idea that the end of WW2 was some great cut-off point is just a fallacy. The only thing that ceased was armed conflict. Life continued much as it had done with all of the hardships that the wartimer's had endured. Basically life was one of gradual improvement. It was OK however - I was a happy kid though, vaguely aware of "the war" and accepted that roughing it was just a part of life and no big deal at all. So there you go. Life was pretty much what we made it, and that's a belief I've always abided by ever since.

BREXIT - Will it now be "delayed?"
by BoogerMan ini'm wondering if the brexit pandemonium is going to continue due to the covid 19 pandemonium.. the latter may just neccessitate further "emergency laws" which suspend the december 31st 2020 divorce date..

We had 2 choices. Be led by a guy who appeared to have nothing but contempt for his own country, or a deeply flawed patriotic character whose basic philosophy is that life is what you make it. Bearing in mind that great leaders are rarely nice guys, I opted for the latter.

We have to leave. Further delays would be a costly mistake and infuriate the electorate.

Lol..I remember the written review, especially the last 8 questions which were True or False. One young lady in our old Congo reasoned that if she wrote the same answer to all the True or False questions she'd probably get around 4 correct. Consequently her paper read Fasle, Fasle, Fasle, Fasle, Fasle, Fasle, Fasle and Fasle.

US Letter Read Sunday 4/26 at Meeting - No KH Use and No Field Service Indefinitely
by JWTom inthere was a letter read sunday at our meeting that mentioned some parts of us are starting to open back up.
however, regardless of things opening up that no kingdom halls should be used for any meetings of any kind.
also, no door-to-door ministry or any form of in-person ministry is allowed.

As a kid, I hated the ministry work even more than I detested those awful meetings. I wonder how many JW kids are whooping for joy right now?

Self-isolating JW's will at least get a taste of what disfellowshipping is like..
by mikronboy inhumans are basically social animals.
see most any isolated mammal, whether in a zoo or even an outcast of its pride and you'll see one mentally disturbed creature.
maybe, after this pandemic has faded and humans are able to interact once more, some jw's might think twice before being so quick to shun.
