Learn From Gods Word Is There Hope for the Dead? This article raises questions you may have asked and shows where you can read the answers in your Bible. Jehovahs Witnesses would be pleased to discuss these answers with you. 1. What is the hope for the dead? When Jesus arrived at Bethany near Jerusalem, his friend Lazarus had been dead for four days. Jesus went to the grave site with Martha and Mary, the sisters of the deceased man. Soon, a crowd gathered. Can you imagine the joy of Martha and Mary when Jesus raised Lazarus back to life?Read John 11:20-24, 38-44. Martha believed that the dead would rise. Faithful servants of Jehovah have long known that in the future, God will resurrect the dead to live on earth again.Read Job 14:14,15. 2. What is the condition of the dead? Although a force of life, or ‘spirit,’ keeps humans and animals alive, we are not spirits that merely inhabit a body of flesh. (Ecclesiastes 3:19; Genesis 7:21,22) We are physical creatures made out of dust. (Genesis 2:7; 3:19) When our brain dies, our thoughts perish. Thus, after being resurrected, Lazarus said nothing of his experience in death because the dead are unconscious.Read Psalm 146:4; Ecclesiastes 9:5,10. Clearly, the dead cannot suffer. So the teaching that God torments people after death is false. It slanders God. The idea of tormenting people in fire is disgusting to him.Read Jeremiah 7:31. 3. Can we speak with the dead? The dead cannot speak. (Psalm 115:17) But when wicked angels speak to people, they may deceptively claim to be the spirit of a dead person. (2Peter 2:4) Jehovah forbids attempting to speak with the dead.Read Deuteronomy 18:10,11. 4. Who will come back to life? In the coming new world, millions of people who are in the grave will come back to life. Even some who practiced bad things because they did not know Jehovah will be resurrected.Read Luke 23:43; Acts 24:15. Resurrected ones will be able to learn the truth about God and to exercise faith in Jesus by obeying him. (Revelation 20:11-13) Those who come back to life and do good things will be able to enjoy life forever on earth. However, some resurrected ones will continue doing bad things. Their resurrection will turn out to be ‘a resurrection of judgment.’Read John 5:28,29. 5. What does the resurrection tell us about Jehovah? The resurrection is possible because God sent his Son to give his life for us. So it is an expression of Jehovahs love and undeserved kindness.Read John 3:16; Romans 6:23.

Marjorie Setter was one of the first people I met at church in Wichita. I was attending St. Thomas Aquinas and sat beside Ms. Setter. I started visiting with Ms. Setter and we realized that we both from Ellsworth, Ks. Marjorie went on to say that she knew my dad, Keith Woodmansee and had attend grade school with Dad. Marjorie was surprised I was visiting with her and made the comment ‘you must not be from here because not very many people visit in this church.’ She told me she was active in the Wichita community but did not go into detail. I wish I would have gotten to know her better. It was really nice to connect with someone on the very first day I attended St. Thomas. She has done a lot for the Wichita Community and I know she will be missed by many. I am so glad I met her in that brief moment of time. My condolences to the family, but what a life to celebrate!
Marge was so instrumental in shaping the future of Wichita.She even helped shaped my future!! I truly enjoyed knowing her and working for her. It was difficult to see her confined to a wheelchair and I am happy that she has now sprouted wings and can fly again! My deepest sympathy to her family.
got to know Marge during my time at K-state – she was a great lady, who lived life to its fullest, not afraid to do what needed to be done or say what needed to be said. she was full of ideas and wlling to help so many with her time and energy. i always came away from a meeting with her full of ideas – she definitely will be missed in so many ways
Marge was my favorite cousin and I suspect, a a favorite of many others. She always made it fun to be in her presence. I am glad to have seen her at the last family reunion in Garnett, and will miss her.
