Arnold Schwarzenegger Movie Can Help Witnesses See Truth

    In the Arnold Schwarzenegger Movie "The Sixth Day" (not to be confused with "End of Days") people are cloned by having their brain memory pattern copied and saved on a disk. Human bodies without memories called "blanks" are also made. At the appropriate time the duplicate memory pattern is stamped onto the "blank" human body. Thus the new being recognizes himself and others as being like the original person. The movie has a sequence showing how this is done. The following review describes the sequence:

    Replacement Technologies are at the forefront of cloning and they baffle the general public with science in order to keep undercover the full extent to which human cloning is actually taking place.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger as Adam Gibson, Sarah Wynter as Talia - 6th Day, The (2000)Replacement Technologies clone humans. They use blanks- human life form stripped of all DNA which are stored in embryonic tanks, a mind scan which collects all memories, thoughts and characteristics and a sample of the DNA make up is taken from the real life person and imputed into the blank - this creates a direct replica of the human being. This entire world is top secret with some of the most powerful people in society being clones; the future of Replacement Technologies is under threat if the secret ever gets out.

    Get the movie, find the sequence, and show the sequence to a witness. Ask if the person was really resurrected or merely copied. Ask if the original person who died was really "resurrected". Ask if the original person could really have eternal life on earth in this way.

    After the witness agrees that the original person never was really resurrected but was simply cloned, and will (the orignial person) remain dead forever, show the witness the September 22, 1955 Awake p. 7.

    "In the resurrection God makes a blank record, a human body, and then stamps on its brain the life pattern he has recorded. Upon giving life to that body the result is an individual that will recognize himself and will be recognized by others as having previously existed."

    Is there really any hope for the original person no matter how faithful to the organization to be really resurrected? The watchtower does not really teach a resurrection hope, but instead teaches that those who die before armageddon will remain in their graves, dead, rotting, forever. They will simply be replaced (like in the movie) with "blank" human bodies stamped with a copy of the witness memory pattern.

    How different from the Bible hope:

    "Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust; for thy dew is `as' the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead." Isaiah 26:19 (see also John 5:28-29)

    The Witness doctrine sounds more like re-creation than resurrection.

    It is a re-creation/ cloning. The movie even uses the same word as the WT ("blank"). I think that the movie could be an excellent tool which would have a simple visual description of a process similar to the WT doctrine.

    The replicants in the movie Blade Runner made me think about the same thing. Even when I was 8 years old, and I read about the WT resurrection doctrine for the first time at the book study (remember the Life book?), I thought to myself, "But that would not be me! It would just be someone who looks like me who thinks she's me." To reconcile this, even though I was a faithful witness, I developed my own private doctrine about the resurrection: the "spirit" that goes to God after death (according to Eccl. and Ps.) remains an individual spirit (tho sleeping in death and unconscious) and God will return THAT spirit to a recreated body during the resurrection. That made more sense to me. --Leolaia

    Hello Leolaia

    I developed my own private doctrine about the resurrection: the "spirit" that goes to God after death (according to Eccl. and Ps.) remains an individual spirit (tho sleeping in death and unconscious) and God will return THAT spirit to a recreated body during the resurrection.

    That's not some sort of soul you're talking about is it?

    Haha, yeah, it wasn't exactly kosher WT doctrine. I distinguished it in my mind tho by thinking that the soul is spirit+body, while the spirit that goes back to God is unconscious and has no independent existence from God apart from the body, like an eternal soul. It has an imprint of my personality and memory but if not sent back into a new body in the resurrection it could just as well become subsumed into God's active force. Totally private belief on my part and I was just trying to reconcile WT teaching with what I saw as Bible teaching and common sense.

    I think the mmovie called "The Tetragrammaton Clerics " fits the Witness's better. Its a movie where there is a world where no one is supposed to think no bad thoughts, till someone got tired of being a robot, then all hell breaks lose.
