    There is lot more to DNA than just the Y- and X-chromosome. There is so much information encoded in DNA that scientist would be able to encode an entire set of encyclopedias in a strand of DNA. You could not prove paternity by examining a Y-Chromosome. The DNA decides hair color, height, and many other things.

    Just a rough estimate. My maternal grandfather was born 85 years before I was born. That would be an average of 42.5 years per generation. Going back 2 more generations, I had a GGGrandfather that was born 161 years before I was born, an average of 42.5 years. It varies.

    Daniel, when feeling flooded by news items, it's sometimes hard to filter what might be quite serious from what's inconsequential. However, it seems likely it can have serious ramifications when a British institution of the level of royalty is shaken to its core by accounts linked to serious misconduct. As Br. Shawn brings out, the Epstein emails reveal Prince Andrew's connections to gross moral violations and criminal activity towards underage girls. This is serious, and decent-hearted individuals will see the gravity of the situation. The 'earth' is being shaken, and may more sincere ones question what they once trusted, and be open to the good news of a Prince who has no price, is guileless, and will rule with fairness and honour.

    I studied in the book, 'You can live forever in paradise on earth' It was such an eye opener for me!

    Yes. But when we moved to a new Hall and we had a new Windows computer, the brothers actually had a tough time learning a new software compared to just using JW Library for everything. I really liked it if we need to show programs, PDFs and websites as it is very handy. But if I get to choose really, I would use M3.

    Serious? Depends on your point of view. It was serious enough that England's Prince Andrew lost his royal titles and status because of his connection to Epstein. The Epstein situation is pretty serious and gross from a moral standpoint. Man owned a private island where he used underage girls to have sex with many rich, powerful, important, and prominent people. If their involvement ever was revealed their carriers could be over and they could fall into disgrace like Prince Andrew or maybe face criminal charges. That is if anyone actually cares. The sad fact is that these type of situations are more often used by powerful people to pressure or influence those involved. Such powerful people do not care about the lives of the victims. As for if this is a distraction, that also depends on someone's point of view. Distract from what? There are a number of major situations right now. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) procedures are resulting in turmoil in the US. The economy is always a factor. The war in Ukraine is ongoing. While tensions may have lessened in the Middle East, Hezbollah and Israel still hate each other. Trumps Board of Peace is attracting attention. The US is still involved in Venezuela in some fashion. This is just off the top of my head. People will pick whichever topic is most important to them and then claim the other topics are distractions.

    I've never read any Grisham, I'm a classics girl myself, but my boys have enjoyed his middle grade novels about Theodore Boone. I read the Giver in my early teens and enjoyed it-trying to interest my 14 yo in it but she declares it 'boring'. We're reading Wind in the Willows as a family. I'm currently reading numerous books myself, including Kon Tiki and Return of the Native (Thomas Hardy) and Atomic Habits. I'm reading a Russian novel a year, so far I've read Anna Karinina and Crime and Punishment. Pondering what to read this year.

    It’s hard to know what’s true or false these days with AI and deepfakes. But I know what you mean about the flood of info. And all the names being dropped have made me wonder if it will make the world angry enough to cause a major shake up in the power of the governments. It’s like the twilight zone right now. The weirdest stuff being talked about. I saw one story talked about today so bizarre I had to fact check it looking for news articles. Unfortunately it was true. People are weird, bizarre and gross. The system has to end soon. The rot of all three parts of satan’s system is being exposed-religion, governments and big business.
  23. Dhanyel
    Is the Jeffrey Epstein case a distraction or something extremely serious? I ask this because the news is flooded with information about this man, and very often this story is in the top headlines. I know almost nothing about it, but it feels like the rot involving politicians and religious figures is all coming out of one single place.

    Wednesday, February 4 There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.—Acts 24:15. Consider the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. A righteous man named Lot lived in their midst. But do we know that Lot preached to all of them? No. They were certainly wicked, but did they all know any better? Recall that a crowd of men in that city sought to rape Lot’s guests. The Bible says that the mob ranged “from boy to old man.” (Gen. 19:4; 2 Pet. 2:7) Do we really know that the merciful God, Jehovah, condemned each one to death with no hope of a resurrection? Jehovah assured Abraham that there were not even ten righteous men in that city. (Gen. 18:32) So they were unrighteous, and Jehovah justly held them accountable for their actions. Can we say for certain, then, that none of them will rise in the “resurrection of . . . the unrighteous”? No, we cannot say for sure! w24.05 2 ¶3; 3 ¶8

    I'm reading "All But My Life" by Gerda Weissmann Klein, a memoir of her life as a Jewish child/teen taken by the Nazis. It was made into a documentary. I haven't read Kellerman's latest, but it's on my list. I read The Giver a few years ago, I think there are more books with it?..anyhoos that's it for me..

    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."
  33. Shawnster
    That would be 33.3 years in length each generation.
  34. Sheep
    And...? If you want to post an article you found interesting, that's good. By all means, share! But rather than just post and leave, why not share with us what you found interesting about it. So, you find an article that seems to support some Biblical accounts. What about it? What are your thoughts on it? If you told us a little about that, it would give us something to look for, something to contemplate, and to see if we agree with you.

    I may be the only person consistently replying to my own topic. I'm currently reading Camino Ghosts by John Grisham, The Ghost Orchid by Jonathan Kellerman, and The Giver by Lois Lowry.

    Please keep in mind that if you study the introduction of the theory of the Ice Age, it was an alternative to the Flood changing the surface of the earth, but in 'slomo' (slow motion). The theory originated in England with the enormous scattered boulders around the land, some on tops of hills. They came to be called 'glacial erratics' to shift your attention away from what really caused them to be spread around the earth, even in areas not reached by the theoretical wall of ice. If there was an Ice Age then how could millions of animals in the Arctic eat enough to stay alive? Mammoths like elephants eat 500 pounds of food per day, yet they have been found as herds buried in the frozen muck. The Arctic today has seasonal ice, except for Greenland, and even with that, the flora there does not match what was in the stomachs of animals found somewhat intact buried in the Tundra. If you put 1000s of feet of ice there, nothing would grow. Too cold and hostile for animals to live. Yet the scientists tell us animals thrived there. So which is it?

      jwhess posted a post in a topic,

      Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      I applied to be an Auxiliary Pioneer.  I had a wonderful meeting with two of the Elders in my congregation.   One of them , I'd never met before.  I think that they have a better idea of who I am and what I deal with every day with my mental illnesses.   Not sure if I'll be approved, but it's okay if I'm not.   I've been attending field service on Zoom on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays.  But will be adding Tuesdays as well.   🧏‍♀️
      Have a good night everyone!!  
      STAY WARM!!
       
      STAY SAFE!!

      A little boy wants to make his father happy. He wants to buy him a gift, but he doesn’t have any money. So he turns to his father and asks him for a few coins. Now he has money, but the gift he wants to get is in a store, and the store is in town. Again, he needs the help of his father. Once in the store, he finds that the gift is way up on the shelf. The father has to lift him up. Same thing at the register. Having returned back home, the son, beaming and proud, hands the father his gift.

      A sweet little story but strictly speaking one could argue that the father himself was the generous giver here. In the end, he had to accompany and help his son at every step of the way, and he was even the one paying for it all. 

      If, however, the father had done everything himself, the outcome wouldn’t have been the same. In the way that it happened, the father, in fact, made it possible for the son to be something he could not have become on his own: a gift-giver.

      This story illustrates how God relates to us. God does not need man, but God allows man to share in his saving work. Man is given the grace to take part in God’s work, and this actually shows the true greatness of God. Man is not kept in a completely inactive dependency, but rather he is equipped with the power to do good.
      And this is exactly the reason there is a congregation. God does not need the congregation, but he wants the congregation so that through her we can become active sharers in the divine work of salvation. 
      In this way, man, who through sin causes so much woe and pain in the world, is now enabled and empowered to bring healing and share in God’s redemptive work. Fallen man, in a way, is rehabilitated in the congregation. He can live as a new creation.

      So God doesn’t need the congregation, but we need the congregation, and that is exactly why she was given to us as a means to salvation!
