Quote from article: "This animating force cannot simply be the breath, or air, moving through the lungs. Why not? Because after breathing stops, life remains in the body cells for a brief period—"for several minutes," according to The World Book Encyclopedia. For this reason, efforts at resuscitation can succeed. But once the spark of life is extinguished from the cells of the body, any efforts to restore life are futile. All the breath, or air, in the world cannot revive even one cell. The spirit, then, is the invisible life-force —the spark of life that keeps the cells and the person alive. This life-force is sustained by breathing.—Job 34:14, 15"
Dumbest thing I ever heard. Someone at WT really needs to update their science-reading (or did this "Light" come from Jehovah, "nullifying" all scientific knowledge, as so many times before?) As far as I know (and I don`t even have a science-education), the oxygen remains in the cells long after the breathing has stopped. The "spark of life" is extinguished when there is no more oxygen in the cells, making resuscitation impossible. Yeah, the JWs are really getting danerously close to the "new age"-crap. Amasingly, many ex-JWs also fall for "new age"-"philosophy", at least thats my impression. I remember my older sister taking me to these new age-conventions when I was around 17 (she got out before me), we had to look at different-coloured magical stones, pyramid-stuff, I had to wait for an hour while she had her palms read, and she had a psychic tell her about her previous lives, or whatever that was, etc. Interesting though, maybe there`s a connection in "basic" thought, JWs and new age. Well... maybe.
