John and Doves,On Tuesday Jan. 18th, Dr. Seelig and Mr. Krawitz went before a government panel to convey assurance in the confidentiality of the VeriChip. While that assurance is only in statements--- and not in encryption--- one has to wonder how private the chip really is .
But the issue of privacy is Not the focus for Believers , whenever a subdermal chip morphs into the 666 Mark of the Beast.
The main issue concerning the 666 Mark of the Beast
( a subdermal rfid chip in the right hand or forehead)
is not one of privacy .... although that IS a problem.
Neither is the main concern one of biological " incompatibility" or physical detriment , although that too IS a problem.The main objection to taking the rfid subdermal 666 Mark of the Beast chip is the fact that an implantable chip in the Right Hand or forehead -----that enables all global financial transactions ( associated with the name, number and image of the beast ) and opens up all databases ----will irreversibly commit one's self to the Lake of Fire for all eternity. Revelation 14: 9-11.
For the Believer, that is the main focus. We cannot take such a chip because it is forbidden in Scripture and constitutes disobedience, resulting in the severest of judgements--- the loss of one's soul for all eternity.
That is the reason ---and the real reason -- for not taking the subdermal 666 chip when it arrives.
Privacy and health-concerns are not the main reasons, and pale by comparison.Let's just suppose ---for arguments sake--- that they made the subdermal rfid chip totally secure from any outside interference. Would that make it all right to place it in the right hand or forehead ? Obviously NOT.
What if they made the subdermal chip so that there were no adverse health effects from its chemicals ( polymers and lithium ) ? Would we then take the 666 chip in our right hand or forehead ? No, we would not.
We would not take the chip solely because it is forbidden in Rev. 13 and 14.
Obedience is what it is all about. " My sheep hear My voice" John 10:27
Our Good Shepherd calls us by NAME ...... John 10:3

Privacy of Verichip discussed at HHS meeting -- Jan. 18, 2005
Dr. Richard Seelig, Vice President of Medical Applications, presented (upon request) before a hearing held by the Subcommittee on Privacy and Confidentiality of the National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics (NCVHS), a statutory public advisory body to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Our customers (as well as hospitals, physicians and other healthcare providers) demand that VeriChip's convenience and usefulness not be compromised by privacy concerns," said Michael Krawitz, Applied Digital's Chief Privacy Officer. "Recently, Scott R. Silverman, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, laid out the six initial privacy points for the VeriChip technology. We believe our leadership role in addressing privacy issues in the RFID arena will continue to grow."
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/050118/185413_1.htmlSix-Point Privacy Statement -- Nov. 22, 2004
1. VeriChip should ( does not say "will" ) be voluntary and voluntary only. No person, no employer, no government should force anyone to get "chipped."
misleading.... it will be REQUIRED for all basic purchases, including food2. Privacy must be a priority at the highest levels of our organization and as such we will have a Chief Privacy Officer who, with privacy experts, will be charged with addressing the day-to-day global evolution of this technology.
misleading..... no encryption
http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/news/editorial/9154114.htm3. We will immediately address privacy and patients' rights in all consumer, distributor and medical documents related to VeriChip
4. VeriChip subscribers are able have their chip removed and discontinued at any time.
This is disconcerting. Although technically one might possibly have it removed, will it eventually require the severing of the right hand, due to a gangrenous sore ( see Rev. 16:2 ) ? Not a desirable "removal".
http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/news/editorial/9154114.htm5. Privacy means different things to different people, so only the VeriChip customer should designate the groups that may have access to his or her database information.
6. We pledge to thoughtfully, openly and considerately engage government, privacy groups, the industry and consumers to assure that the adoption of VeriChip and RFID technology is through education and unity rather than isolation and division.
comment: "assurance" is not a guarantee.

R. Chirgwin of Commsworld states that the Verichip has no capcity for encryption, since encryption needs
RAM and processing power, neither of which is possible with a passive rfid chip.* * * *And this article .....
" Solustat Medica SA, are still running an insecure web site which allows users of this system to betray to any attacker on the internet, the user accounts and passwords which allow access to their medical records.
The >security problems we tried to highlight in November 2003 are still there. If they cannot secure medical records from the internet, then what chance have they got against corrupt or coerced employees ?http://www.spy.org.uk/spyblog/archives/000397.html
