Kurt....I personally want to thank you for your honest and open opinion of the publication....WHAT DOES THE BIBLE TEACH?.and Yes, I am one of Jehovahs Witnesses. You are so right that this book gives forthright answers to questions that ALL people, no matter what their station in life is....can use as a GO TO book. I am glad that you have found comfort knowing about your son and the hope for those who have died...the bible plainly shows that they are in a sleeping condition at Ecclesiastes 9:5, 9,10. And that they will be resurrected right back here on earth in the very near future at John 5:28,29. That is the most encouraging reason to search more for exact truths from the bible. We are definitely living in the last days of mans way of rule and governing the earth as Daniel 2:44 shows...so these are actually exciting times! All that we have all wanted....freedom from taxes, cruel and selfish ruling by men, wars, sickness, even death are about to be eradicated from the earth by the very kingdom that Jesus Christ taught his followers to pray for, at Matthew 6:9,10...for his kingdom to come and his will to be done ON EARTH as it is in heaven. It is THAT KINGDOM that will bring peace and harmony to ALL mankind ALL OVER THE EARTH! Like you said, ask any Jehovahs Witness for a copy...you will not be sorry!
