Theos-Talk Archives (April 2007 Message tt00014)

Thanks Perry and Konstantin for your
comments about the Jehovah's Witnesses.

I agree that the JWs are very literal
in their interpretations.  But these literal
interpretations sometimes bring certain underlying
issues to the forefront.  More about this later.

For now, I call your attention to an article
in Wikepedia titled "Soul sleep".  See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul_sleep

Concerning the terms "Psychopannychism" & "Thnetopsychism",
could you apply either of these terms (or the basic concepts behind 
the terms) to any of the following teachings??

(a) the teachings of Spiritualism concerning
life after death;

(b) the teachings of Blavatsky and the Mahatmas as found
in Blavatsky's writings and the Mahatma Letters;

(c) the teachings of Leadbeater concerning life after death.

I bring all of this up as I think some of this material
helps to highlight (thru comparing and contrasting) certain teachings 
of Theosophy

More later.
