  1. 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.
  2. Since science says we carry Neanderthal DNA today, in going to say not Nephilim. Hybrids typically are sterile. Mules are an example. How large a sample size over how many years are necessary for a species to leave enough evidence to show up in the fossil record today? It's not like every living thing that dies left a fossil.
  3. Ought to soothe those among us who have expressed concern that the Anglo-American World Power appears to be breaking down.
  4. This is sad to hear. It's also enlightening. Oh, I know all countries are corrupt. Some moreso in appearance than others. Still, sad.
  5. (1 Peter 2:17) 17 Honor men of all sorts, have love for the whole association of brothers, be in fear of God, honor the king. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=nwtsty&srctype=wol&bible=60002017&srcid=share Honor men of all sorts. Including the icky ones. Honor the king. Including the bad ones. Where does the Bible say we can pick and choose? Please show me.
  6. I have much difficulty searching for the transcripts. You aren't alone. Here it is Circuit Overseer Branch Rep
  7. You assume the talk was a manuscript. It may have been an outline. Manuscripts, as I believe you are aware, are given word for word. Outlines allow the speaker to use his own words.
  8. Should it have? Why is the growth of a military alliance worh mentioning? A military alliance is not a world power. The military alliance called NATO does not rule over people. It's simply an alliance, a treaty. The recording of this assembly is available. We already have a transcript in the transcript topic. We can all go download the transcript and see if this is how it was worded at the assembly we have a recording of. Granted, this won't be your specific assembly. But it will be the same talks
  9. NATO is an alliance between the King of the South and other members. Both those Watchtowers refer to NATO as an alliance led by the King of the South.
  10. To turn another planet into an earth like place. Comes from 2 Latin words. Terra, meaning Earth and Forma meaning to shape or contour Maybe not quite that fast. I was thinking a bit more manual labor involving a fair number of people working together. At least at first, 😉
