Bill Rafferty really Bill Rafferty really helped my family through the cremation process. I really appreciate everything! My experience with Mercedes and the Neptune Society was wonderful!

We have been very appreciative to our contact, Christina Stanley We have been very appreciative to our contact, Christina Stanley at the Neptune Society. Our father had made his arrangements, prior to his death, and it was all handled so efficiently and professionally, that when his wife unexpectedly passed away, 4 months later, we contacted them again.

Christina was compassionate and expedient in all our interactions. We are forever grateful she was there to guide us through the process and understood the complications of being out of state.

I want to thank the services of the Neptune Society I want to thank the services of the Neptune Society. My mother signed up about 3 years ago. Unfortunately, we had to use Neptune in July.

All the Assisted Living had to do was make a phone call at my request. That was it. The very next day, Eric from the Salt Lake City office called me. It took a lot of pressure off my shoulders as we were also getting ready to leave on a long vacation 5 days later. Everything was done before then. The Metcalf Mortuary, they were wonderful. Neptune Society is awesome and provides as much needed service, thanks.

While they don't regard them as scripture, Witnesses greatly respect the various doctrinal articles published in The Watchtower. Charles Taze Russell's books Studies in Scriptures are respected but are no longer circulated or relied upon. This belief is based on the Greek words used in the Bible for the cross, which literally translate as 'stake' and 'tree'. Modern Witnesses regard the Cross as a pagan symbol and do not use it, although it was accepted by the movement until This is because the Bible makes it clear that human beings do not have an immortal soul that survives when the body dies.

The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all Witnesses believe that Hell as traditionally portrayed does not exist. There is no place where sinners are tormented after death - since their existence is over, nothing can be done to them or for them.

Witnesses also argue that it would be completely against God's nature to torture humans for eternity. However, death is not the end of everything: each person can be remembered by God and eventually be resurrected. The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear [Jesus'] voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. Much of Witness belief concentrates on the ' End Times ', and Witnesses have pointed to a number of past dates as Biblically significant, though they have not stated in terms when the end of the world, or 'conclusion of the system of things,' is expected.

There they await the redemption of their bodies and the restoration of all things Acts , Romans Heaven is a literal place to which the risen, glorified Christ ascended bodily Acts 1 and is now seated at the right hand of the Father Ephesians ; Hebrews as Stephen saw Acts The book of Revelation depicts the presence and activity of believers in Heaven before the resurrection of their bodies for the judgment of the Last Day e.

Scripture speaks of the conscious torment of those in Hell Matthew The rich man of Luke 16 was in such torment. Scripture speaks of the "shame and everlasting loathing" of those condemned to Hell Daniel The fire of Hell is spoken of as eternally unquenchable Matthew , Mark , where Jesus quotes Isaiah ; an unquenchable fire would be unnecessary if the damned were annihilated.

Jesus speaks of the punishment of Hell as eternal Matthew At the Last Judgment, the lost will hear the sentence of their eternal doom pronounced, and they will be cast bodily into the Lake of Fire with the devil and his angels, there to be "tormented day and night forever" Matthew ; ; ; Revelation Many of the lost will protest that they did great things, even miracles, in Christ's name.
