  we all know the jw view on what happens at death.

  however a friend of mine lost a very young son and went to a medium.

  the medium told her the name of her son without knowing anything about her or even knowing that she had a child that died.

  After death is simply just a state of sleep. If you read in John 11:11, it is a story of how Jesus raises Lazarus from death. Jesus speaks of how Lazarus was only sleeping(not in heaven or not in hell), just a state of unconciousness.

  You can also in Ecclesiastes 9:5. There is speaks of how the living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing.

  In John 14:25. It states that people will raise out of the graves(not from heaven or hell).

  And don't you think that with all the resurrectin that Jesus performed that someone would of had something to say about heaven, if they would of went there.

  Death is just a sleep that is awaiting for Jesus to come back and "judge the living and the dead." 2 Timothy 4.

  when an apostate(a) and jw having a conversation.. a : in genesis 1:26 with who was god speaking to ?

  gen 1:26 and god went on to say: let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.

  The answer to that question is simple. It was Jesus. I don't know what JW told you it was angel's, they must of not been a JW. Jesus was the first thing that Jehovah made. That why when he says to make in OUR image, he is simply talking to his "only-gotten son" Jesus.

  Why on earth do they need all those books?

  yes i know the standard answer - they want to sell books but hang on a minute.. .

  something that has always bothered me is that the average jw is incapable of explaining some of the most basic teachings without a wt book in hand.

  after all those years, all that time, all those meetings, why is it so hard to understand and teach to someone else?

  Jehovah's witness's use so many books because there is so many things to learn about the bible. All of the information can not be put onto one sheet of paper, it has to be laid out order so that it can be taken in easily. Thats like asking why a student needs so many books for college. There is so much information to take it, it has to be put in many different volumes and different books. As for the person who said that they need a watchtower in hand, it may have been a new witness who did not know many things about the bible. I personally know many witnesses who can answer any question a person has and tell them the scripture to look up with only using a bible. And the books are not sold, they are given out for free.
