Does the Bible teach that God is everywhere? Why can you be confident that he resides in a specific place, yet also knows you personally? Source

In a previous post: I wanted to use the term "older" or "senior" Jehovah's Witnesses to denote the JW's that I grew up with who actually enforced many such "rules" by which many of us were taught. However it is not JUST the older or the senior JW's who avoid pagan origins... SO... I needed a word .... DEVOUT came to mind. As you can see I am still questioning my word choice. There is a difference between the modern JW's and the "classic" JW's of the 1970's when we were a relatively small group. Not sure how to refer to these two groups. How would you title any number of such questions?

Dear Reader: It refers to the nine gods of art and creativity, so the expression literally means that a person is dressed so well that it honors those nine gods. But as you see the term has lost all of its meaning... so if it's lost all of its meaning and no one knows what it references, then is it ok to use since no one will take it the way it was originally meant? That is the personal choice that has to be made. Agape!

LIMA, Peru – Not less than 530 homes and 6 Kingdom Halls of Jehovah’s Witnesses have been damaged due to severe flood which has ravaged Peru in the last few days. Reports indicate that in the town of Huarmey, located 288 kilometers (approximately 179 mi) from Lima, floodwaters have stranded many Witnesses on the roofs of their homes. So far, the Peru branch office of Jehovah’s Witnesses has set up eight disaster relief committees to care for the Witnesses in the affected areas, including the 12 regions where the government has declared a state of emergency. The relief committees have already supplied 22 tons of food and over 22,000 liters (6,000 gal) of drinking water to victims. Another 48 tons of food and over 9,000 liters (2,400 gal) of drinking water will be sent in the coming weeks. Jehovah’s Witnesses are assisting their fellow members, as well as other victims of the disaster.So far, hundreds of Witnesses in Peru have volunteered to help with cleanup and repair work. “The Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses facilitates disaster relief efforts from their world headquarters, using funds donated to the Witnesses’ global ministry work”, the Jehovah’s Witnesses said in a statement.Heavy rainfall has caused flooding and landslides in 24 out of 25 regions of Peru, while reports indicate that these conditions are expected to continue. The country has received 10 times the normal amount of precipitation during its rainy season (December to March). http://starconnectmedia.com/530-homes-6-kingdon-halls-of-jehovahs-destroyed-as-severe-flood-hits-peru/

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/05/17/end-blood-donationscientists-close-unlimited-supply-stem-cells/ Sarah Knapton, science editor 17 MAY 2017 • 6:00PM Blood donors may no longer be needed in the future after scientists showed it was possible to create blood from stem cells. The 20 year project could pave the way for an unlimited number of blood and immune cells for transplants, simply by reprogramming a patient’s own skin cells. The research, reported in the journal Nature, holds out enormous promise for developing personalised treatments for blood disorders, drug-screening and reducing shortages of donated blood. Dr Ryohichi Sugimura, of Boston Children's Hospital, said: "This gives us the potential to have a limitless supply of blood stem cells and blood by taking cells from universal donors. This could potentially augment the blood supply for patients who need transfusions. “This step opens up an opportunity to take cells from patients with genetic blood disorders, use gene editing to correct their genetic defect and make functional blood cells.” For patients receiving treatment for cancer, blood disorders, after accidents or during surgery, or new mums who lose blood in childbirth, blood is an absolutely essential part of healthcare. But NHS Blood and Transplant - the service which collects, tests and processes blood for hospitals across England -says that while hospitals have the blood needed to treat patients there is a need for more new donors. FYI The Daily Telegraph's article appears to be based on the following three articles in the magazine Nature which describes itself as the "international weekly journal of science."

What am I missing? While I do think that a cyclops goat is an interesting genetic anomaly..... people decide to "worship" it? Seriously? -
