The Jehovah's Witness view is that YOU vanish into nothingness -- totally
gone. God later "brings a new body forth from the earthly elements, and
in that body he places the same characteristics, the same distinctive
qualities, the same memory, the same life pattern that the person had built up
until the time of his death." -- The Watchtower June 1, 1959, p.
333
The Watchtower Society admits that "someone may say, 'is he really the
same person? Is he not just a copy?'" (Is This Life All There Is?
p. 172) The Society argues, essentially, that it doesn't make any difference,
since our molecules replace themselves constantly -- an argument that avoids
the real issue.
