  was checking out the aug. 1 public watchtower and the our readers ask... is does god dwell in one place?

  think there was something in an awake a few months back about this.

  the physical heavens cannot.

  Um, if Jehovah is a spirit, how exactly does he have a spirit that helps Him do amazing things like seeing through lead and looking at rocks on Mars.....

  Good question Mary. Maybe I don't quite understand how the Trinity is supposed to work....but does this not kinda sound Trinity-ish? Even though the WTBS constantly harps on the evil teaching that is the Trinity.

  Another thing, in the article they use 1 Corinthians 15:44 as the support for the following sentence:"He resides in the spiritual heavens, a realm independent of the physical universe."

  Here is what that scripture says (New King James version): "It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body."
  
  Already said I'm not a bible wizard, but isn't that quite the stretch? It mentions a spiritual body...so the WTBS interprets that as "a realm independent of the physical universe".

  Any bible experts out there want to weigh in on that?

  According to TSN reporter Bob Mckenzie's twitter feed...the Rome hit on Horton was 28 digital frames from release to hit. 30 frames=1 second. NHL standard for late hit is longer than .5 second.

  The Horton hit was dirty...he didn't have the puck, released it nearly a full second before the hit, and blindside. Suspension for sure.

  I love how hockey is one of the most grueling sports we have...but those kind of hits need to go.

  Great thing about drinking beer while watching a game:
  ...if your team wins, you celebrate with some beer
  ...if your team loses, you forget about it with some beer

  win/win

  That's pretty much it VM44. In which case does that make Jehovah a lazy ass..."dwelling in his fixed location" while he sends his holy spirit out to do all the work?

  As much as Satan is described as knowing every intimate detail and desire of every person, Satan must be omnipresent.

  Good point, Billy. We had to watch our thoughts and actions at all times because Satan and his demons we're ready to pounce. I remember asking an elder if Satan could read our minds. He said no BUT he is sooo clever that he can know what's on our mind by our body language. Okaaaay...so same thing then?

  Strange they go out of their way to say God is not everywhere at once, but then say he basically sees anything and everything at once. What's the diff and why would it matter? Perhaps they're just grasping at sounding "in the know".
