http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,15739502-13762,00.html By Nick Buchan of NEWS.com.au June 27, 2005 SCIENTISTS have created eerie zombie dogs, reanimating the canines after several hours of clinical death in attempts to develop suspended animation for humans. US scientists have succeeded in reviving the dogs after three hours of clinical death, paving the way for trials on humans within years. Pittsburgh's Safar Centre for Resuscitation Research has developed a technique in which subject's veins are drained of blood and filled with an ice-cold salt solution. The animals are considered scientifically dead, as they stop breathing and have no heartbeat or brain activity. But three hours later, their blood is replaced and the zombie dogs are brought back to life with an electric shock. Plans to test the technique on humans should be realised within a year, according to the Safar Centre. However rather than sending people to sleep for years, then bringing them back to life to benefit from medical advances, the boffins would be happy to keep people in this state for just a few hours, But even this should be enough to save lives such as battlefield casualties and victims of stabbings or gunshot wounds, who have suffered huge blood loss. During the procedure blood is replaced with saline solution at a few degrees above zero. The dogs' body temperature drops to only 7C, compared with the usual 37C, inducing a state of hypothermia before death. Although the animals are clinically dead, their tissues and organs are perfectly preserved. Damaged blood vessels and tissues can then be repaired via surgery. The dogs are brought back to life by returning the blood to their bodies,giving them 100 per cent oxygen and applying electric shocks to restart their hearts. Tests show they are perfectly normal, with no brain damage. "The results are stunning. I think in 10 years we will be able to prevent death in a certain segment of those using this technology," said one US battlefield doctor.

I dont think Schlomo was referring to technological and/or scientific advancement when he made that statement

June 22, 2005 CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- MIT scientists have brought a supercool end to a heated race among physicists: They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature superfluidity. Article continues here

Great, great article.

Thanks for all the input everyone! Well, this guy has little to no religious background, no religious friends or family (other than myself) lots of tattoos, etc etc. His willingness to submit and get rid of some bad habits of his has been truly astounding. He is intelligent, but not much on philosophizing, he likes things to be simple. In general he's a pretty simple guy, sort of a cityfied redneck, likes trucks, hunting, etc etc.

My neighbor was saved over the weekend, he dedicated his life to Yhwh. Baruch Hashem!!! But, I have a question. I usually read the KJV, but do compare translations at times thanks to the wonders of the 'net. My neighbor does not have the 'net nor does he like the KJV. That is fine, but I wanted to pick him up a good translation with a bit more modern wording. I really don't know much about the different translations, I have heard good things about the NKJV and the New Jerusalem Bible. Anyone have any experience with these or other more modern translations?

http://mdn.mainichi.co.jp/specials/0506/0617weller.html This is a pretty long article but a fascinating read.

Stupid transliteration, I was actually referring to the word for today: heh-yod-vav-mem am=people tikkun

beitsa=egg hai'yom

I actually noticed that after posting, I was pasting it from some software I have and the transliteration seems a little weird in it, I'm not really sure where they get those pronunciations. Your transliteration seems more accurate to me. Kol meaning voice is spelled kaf-lamed I believe Kol meaning all is spelled qof-vav-lamed though I could be mistaken

kol=voice Ma schlomechor or Ma schlomaych

Isha=woman la'da'at

NO Christian sect would ever do this. If they claim to be of Christ they are liars. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Most certainly. It is truly a shame when the name of Messiah is attached to such terrible things. Hopefully the authorities will be able to put an end to this before any more children ar harmed.

We should pray for these people, this is really not cool. http://www.thisislondon.com/news/articles/...20Standard&ct=5 oys from Africa are being murdered as human sacrifices in London churches. They are brought into the capital to be offered up in rituals by fundamentalist Christian sects, according to a shocking report by Scotland Yard. Followers believe that powerful spells require the deaths of "unblemished" male children. Police believe such boys are trafficked from cities such as Kinshasa where they can be bought for a little as

Agreed, George, I would not have posted this if it were not being reported by "reputable" new organizations. I understand and respect Worthy's policy regarding this sort of thing and would never intentionally violate it. Again, I don't really care to debate the facts of this. You can choose to reject it out of hand and hold to whatever belief you already have or you can look into it and make a decision that way.

I am not posting this in order to start a debate. I am posting it in the hope that those seeking the truth will find it. Our God is a God of truth and it is imporatant that we always seek truth regardless of how distasteful or unpleasant it may be. Mods, feel free to remove this post if it is not in line with Worthy's mission. http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20...02755-6408r.htm A former Bush team member during his first administration is now voicing serious doubts about the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9-11. Former chief economist for the Department of Labor during President George W. Bush's first term Morgan Reynolds comments that the official story about the collapse of the WTC is "bogus" and that it is more likely that a controlled demolition destroyed the Twin Towers and adjacent Building No. 7. Reynolds, who also served as director of the Criminal Justice Center at the National Center for Policy Analysis in Dallas and is now professor emeritus at Texas A&M University said, "If demolition destroyed three steel skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11, then the case for an 'inside job' and a government attack on America would be compelling." Reynolds commented from his Texas A&M office, "It is hard to exaggerate the importance of a scientific debate over the cause of the collapse of the twin towers and building 7. If the official wisdom on the collapses is wrong, as I believe it is, then policy based on such erroneous engineering analysis is not likely to be correct either. The government's collapse theory is highly vulnerable on its own terms. Only professional demolition appears to account for the full range of facts associated with the collapse of the three buildings." Two years after President George W. Bush proclaimed "mission accomplished" in Iraq, some thoughtful officers are beginning to question who the insurgents actually are. In a recent interview the head of the US 42nd Infantry Division which covers key trouble spots, including Baquba and Samarra Major General Joseph Taluto said he could understand why some ordinary Iraqis would take up arms against U.S. forces because "they're offended by our presence." Taluto added, "If a good, honest person feels having all these Humvees driving on the road, having us moving people out of the way, having us patrol the streets, having car bombs going off, you can understand how they could (want to fight us). There is a sense of a good resistance, or an accepted resistance. They say 'okay, if you shoot a coalition soldier, that's okay, it's not a bad thing but you shouldn't kill other Iraqis.'" Taluto insisted however that the other foreign forces would not be driven out of Iraq by violence, observing, "If the goal is to have the coalition leave, attacking them isn't the way," he said. "The way to make it happen is to enter the political process cooperate and the coalition will be less aggressive and less visible and eventually it'll go away." Taluto's comments are sure to raise hackles at the Pentagon, which insist that all insurgents are either Baathists or al-Qaida. Taluto observed that "99.9 per cent" of those captured fighting the U.S. were Iraqis. Ah well, there's always Argentina. The German government is reportedly blocking the deportation of Nazi war crimes suspects from the U.S. back to Germany to be tried and punished. The German interior ministry has refused to accept the suspects even though the United States already has stripped them of their citizenship because of their World War II history and has asked Germany to accept them; German officials worry the suspects might join neo-Nazi groups. Deputy director of the Office of Special Investigations at the Department of Justice Jonathan Drimmer said, "By and large we're talking about concentration camp guards, we're talking about collaborators, people who were involved in indigenous police forces, that kind of thing." German interior ministry officials said that Washington had not given Berlin enough proof that the suspects were war criminals, despite repeated requests from Germany. Deportation in U.S. court cases requires not criminal, but just civil, proceedings, with a burden of proof of "clear, convincing, and unequivocal evidence." German Interior ministry officials noted that if Germany accepted the deportees, they would be supported by the German social system and possibly would involve themselves in the extreme right or anti-Semitic political activities. The first conflict that the newly independent United States engaged in began in 1801 with the Barbary States; now descendents of those corsairs have participated in naval exercises with their former enemies. On June 7 Algerian and U.S. Coast Guard warships conducted a joint naval exercise, improving interoperability and developing cooperation in securing the western Mediterranean. The vessels conducted maritime patrol missions, testing their joint capabilities to monitor and board suspicious vehicles and interdict illegal migration. U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Robert Wyner said Washington regards Algeria as a strategic partner in the war against terrorism and that Algeria would play a major role in U.S. efforts to bolster the stability of North Africa and counter the threat of al-Qaida. Interestingly enough, former counterterrorism adviser Richard A. Clarke closed Boston harbor on 9-11 because of concerns that al-Qaida terrorists were stowaways aboard liquefied natural gas tankers from Algeria bound for Boston's Everett LNG facility.

Keep the great posts comin, Shiloh. I've been lookin for a (messianic) parsha newsletter and was havin trouble finding one, but now I know that FFOZ has one

You've got it, although so as not to offend any who do, I am not neccessarily opposed to keeping Rabinnical tradition with regard to the moedim or kashrut in general for that matter.

I haven't spoken to my friends about the particulars of moving there, as I am not in a place where I can do so just yet, so I'm not really certain what its all about. I also don't get to see or speak with them terribly often. None of them were born there (all are from Pikesville), two families are Jewish (Messianic) and I also know a Messianic Gentile believer (Torah observant) who lives there. All of them absolutely love it there, I mean really love it, you can tell that they are anxious to get back whenever they are visiting here. The two families have 6 and 4 children respectively, the Gentile man works with a missionary group there which sometimes does work in conjunction with the Israeli military (menial stuff like pulling weeds on bases, digging, stuff they don't neccessarily have the manpower for). None of them have ever complained about the community treating them poorly. All of them lived in Pikesville (Baltimore) which has the second largest population of Jews outside if Israel (NY is #1), they found the Pikesville community to be rather.....antagonistic toward their professed faith in Messiah, none have voiced any problems with this in Israel. I am certain that there are members of the Israeli population that do not take kindly to Messianic believers, but I believe the majority of them are at the very least fairly ambivalent, I know that some even accept the Messianic movement as a valid sect of Judaism.

I do believe it is a calling and not just another movement. I believe in the coming years we will see many more people 'coming out of her' to return to His ways, following and worshipping the way He intended and commanded. I am not certain I understand what you mean by 'the door being opened for Messianic Jews' as far as Israel is concerned. I know at least a dozen messianics who have moved there in the last year. Are people finding it difficult to go for some reason?

You raise a very interesting point. I honestly have never really considered the idea, and it definitely bears further study. Was there any point in history where it was customary for women to wear tzit-tzit? I don't know that this has much if any bearing on whether or not they should, I'm just curious.

Yes, it can mean children. The word is masculine, and is generally interpreted that way barring contextual problems (such as women only experiencing pain while birthing a male, if only, eh? ) I do believe it means sons in this particular passage. However, if a sister feels pressed to wear them, or wants to interpret it as all of Yhvh's children, that's a great thing. I see no scripture to suggest it would be wrong or disgraceful for a woman to wear tzit-tzit. I do not believe that a square garment is what is neccessarily being referred to here. The word is kanaph, which can mean edges or borders. For this reason I do beleive that we should wear tzit-tzit on any garments, not just square ones. I also hold that contrary to traditional orthodox thinking, belt loops are a perfectly acceptable thing to which to attach tzit-tzit. I do think it may bear further study on my part, but I think the point is wearing the fringes, not what you're wearing them on.

Just to be certain, are you referring to the increasing interest the believing community has with the Messianic walk?

I don't understand the four corners deal. Where does it specify corners (ie a square garment)? Actually the command is to the sons (ben) of Israel. I don't think that there is anything wrong with a woman wearing them but it is only commanded to men

I wear em, with techelet (well mebbe not THE techelet but it is blue ). I do wear em on my belt loops sometimes as a talit katan can get pretty hot in the summer.
