   Why try to deceive everyone like you just did.   
   You only quoted from the OT, yet part of your argument was that it applied to   
   the NT.   
   In the NT the word for Grave is,...   
      
   G3419(Strong)   
      
   μνημεῖον   
      
   mnēmeion   
      
   mnay-mi’-on   
      
   From G3420; a remembrance, that is, cenotaph (place of interment): - grave,   
   sepulchre, tomb.   
      
   Total KJV occurrences: 42   
      
   **   
      
   G3419(Thayer)   
      
   μνημεῖον   
      
   mnēmeion   
      
   Thayer Definition:   
      
   1) any visible object for preserving or recalling the memory of any person or   
   thing   
      
   1a) a memorial, monument, specifically, a sepulchral monument   
      
   2) a sepulchre, a tomb   
      
   Part of Speech: noun neuter   
      
   Word used and defined as such 42 times   
   **************************************************   
   OLD TESTAMENT - HEBREW   
      
   H7585(Strong)   
      
   שְׁאֹל שְׁאוֹל   
      
   she'ôl she’ôl   
      
   sheh-ole', sheh-ole’   
      
   From H7592; hades or the world of the dead (as if a subterranian retreat),   
   including its accessories and inmates: - grave, hell, pit.   
      
   H7585(Brown-Driver-Briggs)   
      
   שׁאל / שׁאול   
      
   she’ôl   
      
   BDB Definition:   
      
   1) sheol, underworld, grave, hell, pit   
      
   1a) the underworld   
      
   1b) Sheol - the OT designation for the abode of the dead   
      
   1b1) place of no return   
      
   1b2) without praise of God   
      
   1b3) wicked sent there for punishment   
      
   1b4) righteous not abandoned to it   
      
   1b5) of the place of exile (figuratively)   
      
   1b6) of extreme degradation in sin   
   **********************   
   66 uses of that word in the OT yet ONLY 31 times was it used for the word   
   Grave.   
      
   it is a place of conscious existence after death, one side of which is   
   occupied by the suffering, unrighteous dead separated by a great chasm from   
   the other side peopled by the righteous dead enjoying their reward.   
      
   This is the use of that word before Jesus and the New Covenant revelations.   
   Which is clarified by Jesus in the NT.   
      
   Try to see if the NWT matches us with those states and verbiage.   
   ********   
   Now deeply consider this; Do you really seek to add to your misery in the   
   next life for your determined effort to undermine the Word of God with your   
   false doctrines and deceptions?   
   Consider the affect your false teachings may have on others who are only to   
   glad to learn your false doctrines of not place of torment and punishment for   
   those that pass away. Then they feel total freedom to go out and knowingly   
   sin much more that before they heard your words. And the real possibility   
   that their added sins will also be added to yours for you, as you were the   
   willing cause of all their additional sins.   
      
   You know these things and understand them, as such you cannot “unsee”   
   what you have seen and argued against.   
      
   There is only one way to reverse all of that, and there is no way that the JW   
   Org or Watchtower mag can lead you to it.
