Yes, they are junipers.
Without a picture, how can we know what is the furry thing?

Your junipers belong outdoors and cannot be kept indoors or they'll die.

Most probably. If so, some insecticidal soap spray will take care of them.

Oh, well, my very hard water leaves a lot of deposits, a tooth brush and diluted vinegar takes care of it, they are white but not furry!!
On the other hand, white scale is a very common pest in the summer and it IS fluffy...:woohoo:
