That's interesting I didn't know that the Jews had a belief in the after life I thought they believed that everything ends until the day of the resurrection.

Hey - I was at the bookstudy on Monday Evening this week and I had to read. I really struggled with this and I am sure the Book Study overseer saw the smirk on my face. Only 144000 have the white pebble - yeah right

Remember in the Bible that the Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection but that the Pharisees did. One thing to learn about the Jewish religion is that they have several different factions with differing beliefs even today.

Hey, I just noticed that Scully and Barbara Andersen got an honorable mention, page 49, para 8:
"In modern times, some such strong-willed women have induced their husbands to become apostates and have even instigated court action against Jehovah's faithful servants"
jgnat, you'll have to keep working on your hubby so you can join the Jezebel Club with us.
I think I might work on a pin or logo this weekend. LOL

Great article. The link you provided answered some questions that have been with me for months. I recently went to a synagogue (more interesting than a KH) and noticed that the rabbi gave me an odd look when he realized I was named after my father. Turns out it has to do with the angel of death. This also explained a 'dream' I had once where I saw something in my room and it was scary as hell.
Thanks!
