Yes, and also they acted in ignorance, which is probably the reason why, when they were educated and warned, they repented. "God’s saying that those people did not know right from left* suggested their childlike ignorance of divine standards." --- w4/1 2009 p.18 *Or right from wrong

Sitting every day for 8 hours or more will cause premature death just as surely as smoking cigarettes will.

I think you meant to say, IPS?

I found this to be interesting regarding the "Y" chromosome that is passed from father to son exclusively, generation after generation. "In human genetics, the Y-chromosomal Adam (more technically known as the Y-chromosomal most recent common ancestor, shortened to Y-MRCA), is the patrilineal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) from whom all currently living humans are descended. He is the most recent male from whom all living humans are descended through an unbroken line of their male ancestors. The term Y-MRCA reflects the fact that the Y chromosomes of all currently living human males are directly derived from the Y chromosome of this remote ancestor."

Kind of like deja vu: "One major factor in this growth is the use of the six-month study course in the Truth book, which was released at our nine district assemblies during the year. A special pioneer reported starting four new studies in the month following the release of the book, while another helped three persons to dedication in a little over six months by applying the six-month study suggestion immediately." --- yb 1970 p. 247

“Look! I am sending you out as sheep among wolves; so prove yourselves cautious as serpents and yet innocent as doves." --- Mt. 10:16 cautious as serpents: To be cautious here means to be prudent, sensible, shrewd. Zoologists note that most snakes are wary, preferring to flee rather than attack. Likewise, Jesus warns his disciples to remain cautious toward opposers and avoid possible dangers as they carry out their preaching work.

I think you mean, Jefferson Airplane, not the Stones.

1953 "Shane" with Alan Ladd.

A fusion of Jazz, rock and blues with a classical-inspired technique. I believe he's playing without a pick; just his fingers on his right hand! Extremely tight trio!

So, you're saying that their immortality is based on Jehovah's promise and trust in them, not on the quality of their lifeforce and incorruptible organism. If that were the case, it would mean that Jehovah only imputes immortality to them as a quantitative reward but not an actual qualitative condition, much like he imputes righteousness to them when he adopts them as sons while they are still imperfect humans. Also, immortality has nothing to do with who is stronger, but has to do with composition of the spirit body they are given, which is at the heart of what actually makes immortality possible. INCORRUPTION "Immortality therefore evidently refers to the quality of the life they enjoy, its endlessness and indestructibility, whereas incorruption apparently relates to the organism or body that God gives them, one that is inherently beyond decay, ruin, or destruction." --- it, vol.1 pg. 1198

Exactly. Also, the second death doesn't apply to them. They are beyond destruction.

Studies show or suggest that humans don't age at a consistent linear rate. They find that we age the most at two different points in life. The first accelerated aging process happens at age 45. Then we age normally again for about the next 15 years, and the second accelerated aging process happens in our early 60's. After that, depending on what we do, or don't do, to try to stay healthy and take care of ourselves, barring hereditary diseases or conditions, we can either lengthen our lifespan or shorten it. Some make it to 70 and others to 80 and beyond. Dick Van Dyke just turned 100 years old today. Your mileage may vary. 😉
