  Does consciousness end with the death of the body

  by givemejustalittlemoretime in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  apparently, the carvakas in anceint hinduism were materialists and skeptics, arguing that consciousness ends with the death of the body and that therefore we should take pleasure in this life while we possess it and practice compassion toward others.

  they also argued that direct observation is the only certain way to know anything, and thus the existence of supernatural forces and realities cannot be established and must be rejected.

  Consciousness is produced by the brain (which is part of the body), so when the body/brain dies, consciousness goes on.

  So the answer to the question is no: consciousness does not end with the death of the body.

  so said the co last night.. apparently a jw was on a flight and just happend to sit next to some big wig from pixar and when the man from pixar heard that he was a jw the pixar man just gushed over what great work that the watchtower has done in producing the caleb video's.

  he siad he only wished pixar could do such great work.

  the co said we are able to do it because we have free labor and jehovah behind us.. my husband stayed home from the meeting but wanted to tie in by phone and that is what the co said in his talk.. the co also talked about all the changes that have happened in the last ten years and how if some of the friends did not like it they needed and to quote him "they just needed to get over it" these changes are going to happned period.

  When my wife got up at 5:30AM this morning to go to the convention with her family, she was the one feeling sad, not me. I felt truly blessed to sleep in another two hours on a Saturday morning. I will NEVER shed a tear about not attending a DC. I wouldn't even have done so while I was in! They are dreadful.
