    should they insist that the soul is not immortal?

    God has soul

    I'm not sure I get what you mean. I thought the understanding was that God is a spirit. I haven't had time to look up the scriptures you list. It gets all twisted b/c the witnesses have their own definitions for soul and spirit.

    just the point that they say that the "soul" is mortal. they love ezekial 18:4, the soul that is sinning it itself will die. but the new world translation also has that info in the appendix that I pasted above, which includes the thought that Jehovah has soul or a soul, surely in at least that case a soul is indeed immortal.
