   Why are you writing this? You are a self confessed sinner. Therefore you are   
   dead.   
      
   When you kick a JW out of your group, you consider them dead also, why then   
   are they walking around?

   As did every breathing animal, fowl, etc. Do you eat meat? What is the   
   difference between eating your children in a feast or a turkey? Nothing over   
   your rules,   
      
   Mat 12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul   
   is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to   
   the Gentiles.   
      
   1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul;   
   the last Adamwas made a quickening spirit.   
      
   1Th 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your   
   wholespirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our   
   Lord Jesus Christ.   
      
   Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any   
   twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and   
   of the joints and marrow, andis a discerner of the thoughts and intents of   
   the heart.   
      
   Scripture speaks often about Body Soul and Spirit, when are you going to   
   catch up?

   This again? Adam became a living soul when God breathed life into the mud   
   image of himself.   
      
   The soul that sins goes to the pit, with the demons, the soul that is born of   
   God goes to heaven.   
      
   The JW's lie like their father of lies.

   “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first   
   earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.” (Rev 21:1, KJV)   
      
   And it doesn't lie about it. There are lots of "forevers" that have an   
   ending. That has likewise been told to you many times, and yet you chose to   
   lie about it.

   “And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there

   Revelation 20:11-15(KJV)   
      
   11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the   
   earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.   
      
   12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were   
   opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead   
   were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to   
   their works.   
      
   13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered   
   up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to   
   their works.   
      
   14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second   
   death.   
      
   15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the   
   lake of fire.
