a few months ago i read an article about this in discover magazine.
as i realized the implications it gave me a sick, eerie feeling.. in short, suppose memories of the deceased are collected and downloaded into a program?.
what you are about to see is a prototype program for what i suspect may be robotic construction for the near future of resurrecting loved ones who have passed on.
JWfacts: "If we do not have a soul that survives death, then we are simply a collection of memories and emotions that God downloads at some later stage into a new body."
Interesting perspective. But where is god in all of this? This is being done by humans, is it not?

Cold Steel,
Even though "Deena" sounds more realistic as a name, this "thing" is named Bina. (Actually Bina48 aka Bina Rothblatt)
In researching the etymology, or meaning of that name, I came upon some interesting definitions.
Bina---
"building; construction" (what other words denote building and constructing? Could it be....masonry?)
"to build" (used in form membina)
bina...feminine form of bino
Bino...(physics) The superpartner of the gauge boson
(In particle physics, the gauge boson are bosnic particles that act as carrier of the fundamental forces of nature.)
(Anagrams: Bion) [as in bionic, perhaps?]
related term..."binary" from Latin 'bini' meaning two-by-two; pair

No worries KW13.
"Apostates" will probably not qualify to be resurrected nor to have their loved ones resurrected. I imagine there would be a lot of expense and jumping through hoops.
Maybe just the GB will be allowed.
OMG! What if they bring back the fearless leader through this method?
Gives a new meaning to Talking Heads, doesn't it?
i just realized that some states will accept a certificate of baptism as a secondary form of identification for legal matters such as state issued identification.. do any of you find that odd at all?.

I wonder if there is some portion of the brain that would be used to transfer a persons memory into a new artificial body? maybe the pineal gland? Cells have memory. Surely whatever entity created us ....
But then again, if our Creators said we were doomed to die for having this knowledge of good and evil....perhaps humans are creating these other "life forms" in defiance?

Already this "life form" appears to be using some reasoning powers: searching through it's data base for memories and appropriate responses. It does seem to have a little difficulty following the conversation at intervals. But hey. It's new; it was just created.
Is it possible that we are looking into a dark mirror that exposes our own creation? Could it be that beings of higher intelligence and consciousness created us in a similar fashion?
Could it be that after this artificial life form becomes more proficient in it's reasoning and response powers that it could eventually develop a consciousness.....knowing right from wrong?
Is this what happened to us? Is this why the scriptures say "They have become like us, knowing good and evil?"
Could it be that WE are actually the Artificial Intelligence who have taken over the planet?
which tree symbol?.
a plump and very, very anxious mrs. tenney was adamant that she would not, under any circumstance, venture into the spooky follett mansion toute seule.
the svelte and ever-eighteen-year-old nancee assured her friend that great aunt sara had lived there alone in safety for years ... what's the problem?
The word "Plump" generated a big ad with two big McD's pink smoothies.
The ad is so big it covers about 1/4 of your fine story.
There's just something about pink drinks and big words.
I'll reserve judgement until we hear from Darkside.

So is this stale news or something? No comments?
Nobody else thinks this is a bit, er, spine tingling?

since i've come to the realization and conclusion that i've been living a fictional lifestyle for the last 17 years, i've also come to identify with agnosticism.. .
but one issue that's been taking it's emotional toll on me lately is the realization of the fictitious paradisiac earth.. it was the ultimate goal as a witness- the answer to everything.
even if you had questions that couldn't be answered, you were to "wait until the paradise and ask" when you got there.. .
Confliction,
Life is not pointless. The problem is that you are trying to think too far ahead. Just enjoy what you have now. Love strong, play hard. Whatever lies beyond this existence you will find out when you get there. What IS pointless is to agonize over something that no one has any way of knowing at this point.
The Egyptians made a big deal out of the afterlife. I think the JWs are a lot like them. Why keep trying to look over the fence because you think the grass is greener somewhere else? Why keep speculating on something in the great beyond and miss out on what is right here in front of you?
Get out and spread some joy to others. Do something that makes you feel happy. Make memories here.
