Exetazo,
: You need to check your facts before shooting your mouth off & slandering others.
What "facts" would they be, then? Slander is a very serious charge. Serious charges require serious evidence and serious nitwits never give any serious evidence. That's why they're serious nitwits, you nitwit.

C'mon. Are we taking the bible literal again???
I thought it would be a good idea to post some Watchtower Quotes on this subject:
"The Atonement Between God and Man" ("Studies in the Scriptures" Volume 5), 1899, Page 454:
"...the man Jesus is dead, forever dead..."
---------------------------------------------------
"The Kingdom is at Hand", 1944, Page 259:
"...the bodies in which Jesus manifested himself to the disciples after his return to life were not the body in which he was nailed to the tree."
---------------------------------------------------
"The Watchtower", October 1st 1955 Issue, Page 518:
"...[Jesus Christ's original human body] was disposed of by Jehovah God, dissolved into its constituent elements or atoms."
---------------------------------------------------
"Things in Which it is Impossible for God to Lie", 1965, Page 354:
"The human body of flesh, which Jesus Christ laid down forever as a ransom sacrifice, was disposed of by God's power..."
---------------------------------------------------
"You Can Live Forever on Paradise Earth" Book, 1982, Pages 143-144:
"...many persons believe that Christ took his fleshly body to heaven. They point to the fact that when Christ was raised from the dead, his fleshly body was no longer in the tomb (Mark 16:5-7). Also, after his death Jesus appeared to his disciples in a fleshly body to show them that he was alive. Once He even had the apostle Thomas put his hand into the hole in His side so that Thomas would believe that He had actually been resurrected (John 20:24-27) Does this not prove that Christ was raised alive in the same body in which he was put to death? No it does not."

"Reasoning From the Scriptures" Book, 1989, Page 217:
"Disposing of Jesus' physical body at the time of his resurrection presented no problem for God."
Pages 334-335:
"Humans cannot see spirits, so the disciples evidently thought they were seeing an apparition or a vision (compare Mark 6:49, 50). Jesus assured them that he was no apparition; they could see his body of flesh and could touch him, feeling the bones; he also ate in their presence. Similarly, in the past, angels had materialized in order to be seen by men; they had eaten, and some had even married and fathered children (Gen. 6:4; 19:1-3)."

Here are some more Scriptures which completely refute the Watchtower's False Teaching on the Resurrection of Christ:
Matthew 28:5: The angel answered the women, "Don't be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.
Matthew 28:6: He is not here, for He has risen, just like He said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
Matthew 28:7: Go quickly and tell His Disciples, 'He has risen from the dead, and behold, He goes before you into Galilee; there you will see Him.' Behold, I have told you."
Mark 16:5: Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were amazed.
Mark 16:6: He said to them, "Don't be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid Him!
Acts 17:31: because He has appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained; whereof He has given assurance to all men, in that He has raised Him from the dead."
1st Timothy 2:5: For there is One God, and One Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus
The Watchtower Society also denies that Jesus is the Mediator for the "Other Sheep", but that's for another Thread.
Here are some very interesting Web Pages on this subject:
