From what I understand we could say some people were Nearandenthals just like today some are Pygmy or Masai.

Situationship is a word used to describe a romantic or sexual relationship lacking commitment, or clear boundaries. It confirms the confused moral views of many today, and highlights a problem of worldly fraternities.

Good point. The only reason they are called Neaderthal is the district that had the caves with their remains. There were lots of other caves but the name does not change, except in the case of the giant tooth of Denisova Cave in Russia.

Teacher and students relationships are often a love hate situationship

Don’t stay in sin. Change your course. Repent.

Wow. You have skills very beautiful 😍 I can only imagine what type of jewelery I'll make when I live forever.

Here is a tutorial I found on YouTube. I get my tools from Michael's craft store. You can do a search I haven't made any jewelery in a while. One of the charms has a cross this is not my video (disclaimer)

Since the Bible is silent on most of this, who can say? One of the points I was trying to make was we don't know how manr Nephilim there were. The fewer the number, the less likely it is any of their fossils survived for us to find. The scriptures do not mention anything about their DNA. There is no evidence to support that Nephilim DNA was any different than human. There is no evidence to support the supposition that the Nephilim were genetically different in any way. In fact, the Bible does not even say they were hybrids. That's an assumption. It might be a logical assumption, but we lack sufficient evidence to support a conclusion. We don't know how the demons pulled off being able to mate with human women and produce offspring. If those offspring, the Nephilim, were also fertile and capable of reproduction, then they would be genetically indistinguishable from natural humans. In regards the supposed Nephilim being a separate species, this is evolutionary propaganda. It's a twisting of the facts to support their god-dishonoring theory. Humans are one species - human. Or, if you want to use the biblical description, we are the same kind. The genetic differences between groups of humans do not create separate species. They are variations within the species. Just like dogs. Terriers and dobermans are both the same species - dogs. The genetic differences may result in variety of appearance and could pose danger in reproduction, but they are all still dogs. These ideas that Neanderthals were a separate species that lost the evolutionary lottery and died out is fantasy. These scientists have latched onto a set of unique genetic characteristics and decided this is evidence of a separate species. This is the same thinking that fuels racism and the separation of humans into distinct groups based on a unique combination of genetics and ancestral place of birth.

So, same DNA from mom / Eve's side ... Could still be Nephilim. That could be compatible with Genesis as a separate line.

Are you depressed? They have the answer? Its because of Neanderthal DNA!!!! https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/neanderthal-dna-linked-depression-nicotine-addiction-psychiatric-diseases-embargo-7pm-1543303 And on it goes with their theories. Maybe we have Piltdown DNA too.

Are they guessing what part of DNA is Neanderthal? Oddly they say Africans don't have Neanderthal DNA. They want you to believe that for what reason?

Does anyone know if Brother Chew posted the transcript of this wonderful video?

Thursday, April 30 Jehovah . . . forgives your sin. You will not die.—2 Sam. 12:13. What do we know about Jehovah’s mercy? How has he demonstrated that he “does not desire anyone to be destroyed”? (2 Pet. 3:9) Consider his mercy toward some who committed serious sins. King David got involved in a series of gross sins, including adultery and murder. Yet, David repented, so Jehovah mercifully forgave him. (2 Sam. 12:1-12) King Manasseh was profoundly wicked for much of his life. Even in that extreme case, however, Jehovah responded favorably to that man’s repentance and found a basis for extending mercy and forgiveness. (2 Chron. 33:9-16) These examples remind us that Jehovah shows mercy whenever he sees that there is a basis for doing so. He will resurrect such individuals because they realized that they had committed terrible sins and they repented. w24.05 4 ¶12

Amazon Fire Tablet: I have one sister with this tablet. The latest app version in Amazon App Store seems to ver 3.9, which won't load. Anyone know how to get 4.0?

Wonderful thoughts, this is really encouraging

Is it really that historic?

You live in the United States. Life here is different than other countries. Some locations outside the United States are suffering worse as a result of the conflict with Iran. People who live in lands that are struggling more than other locations are receiving direction relevant to their situation. I find it beneficial to check where someone is from when they make a comment of concern or talk about living conditions that I'm not experiencing.

This very encouraging

Since Neanderthals were human and not some separate species, I'm going with yes, they have Neanderthal DNA. We are all Neanderthals. The entire idea that Neanderthals were a separate evolutionary branch is incompatible with the Bible. The fact scientists say we carry Neanderthal DNA supports the idea these Neanderthals were human. Fully human. Species cannot reproduce with a different species.

Do they really have Neanderthal DNA? Or is that just posturing their position as who can contest it? This article states a half-life of 521 years. https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/how-long-does-dna-last How long does it take to make it unrecognizable leading scientists to become inventive with their opinions. This article likes to throw around long time periods, but imagine the bones came from the humans escaping the rising water of the Flood and their remains have DNA not as old as they think. What sells better to the public? "This distant biological relationship suggests Neanderthals had a long-term presence in the Altai region, the researchers said." https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/neanderthals/2-neanderthals-present-at-same-siberian-cave-10-000-years-apart-were-distant-relatives-110-000-year-old-bone-reveals

I keep thinking about this. How dark? For how long? On the upside ~ The dark days may wake people up. We should see an increase of Bible studies and meeting attendance. I still think the GT will begin while Trump is president. 2 years 5 months remain.

Is the end happening tomorrow? all these comments about stocking up supplies. Keep strong. Where not being told anything in my congregation. Hope we don’t miss out.

I apologize if this post seems to leak through my frustration but the migration and updates of the NWS and NWP app seems to be not as smooth and error free as I have hoped for. First of, our admins followed the instructions for updating to the "T". We experienced no problems and all those that would send data to the NWP App are on the latest versions 8.1 #1450. However my concern is the data in the NWS as we use this extensively for analyzing the congregation's ministry as well as the publishers in the FSGs. Many of us invested a lot of time in populating the NWS with congregation specific data only to see some of it being wiped out by updates or whatever other gremlins there are in the bowels of the code plus tech challenged publishers. The territory data as available in previous versions is no longer the same and some of it has disappeared and now has lost its value in working the territories efficiently as you can see from the screenshots. 1. The publisher's name who worked the address is gone. This is important as now there is no way to check if the DNC or No Soliciting entries were correct and no way to help publishers with the status who worked addresses. This is a territory I am working with the latest NWP app version. 2. There is no consistency of date entry as only the most recent worked addresses show a date entry when previously that was not the case. This is very important as we like to work our territories midweek and weekends. See possible explanation for this at the end of my comments. 3. Yesterday I clicked the territory completed button on the NWP app of a publisher. There are dual entries in the NWS that are clearly in error. 4. In the past the territory servant would know when a territory was completed but now I can't find where to get that data without scrolling through territories and searching for dates. This is very important to us as we take a completed territory and export all NHs, No Trespassing, No Soliciting and Vacant addresses and give it to the telephone and letter writing groups. The only explanation that I have for not listing the publisher's name who made the status changes that he is sill on the NWP app version 3.9.7. The status changes I made were always with the latest NWP app and also don't show the name. Since directing publishers that are out in the ministry is sometimes like herding cats, I am sure some did not have the latest version. Now how to create an error message for that situation I am not quite sure. It is apparent that the Devs are spending exorbitant amount of time in maintaining a congregational tool that has risen to the status of being a necessity for congregation administration. As such, it is now a vital tool in fulfilling our commission and that is a heavy responsibility for the Devs. Taking that into consideration, I would rather see a maintaining of its data integrity then moving to faster execution or developing nice to have features. /OFF Soapbox
