When we were created we became living souls. (Not given souls.) (Genesis 2:7) When we die we become dead souls. (Ezekiel 18:4, 20) We become unaware of anything, unconscious, similar to a deep dreamless sleep. - Ecclesiastes 5:9-10; Psalm 146:4; compare Jesus' words at John 11:11-14. We lie in the grave awaiting the resurrection. (Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:13; John 11:23-26; Acts 24:15; Revelation 20:13, 14) More at the links below.

What is significant about Jehovah's Witnesses during the Holocaust?
Some in the world deny that the holocaust even happened. Jehovah's Witnesses recognize that the holocaust happened, in fact, many of Jehovah's Witnesses were murdered at the hands of the Nazis in concentration camps. There is an entire section of the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC dedicated to Jehovah's Witnesses. The website address for that is : http://www.ushmm.org/education/resource/jehovahs/jehovahsw.php Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Nazi Holocaust and all the other genocides that have occurred are all prt of the composite sign that Jesus gave in Matthew chapter 24, Luke chapter 21, and Mark chapter 13, that indicate that we are living in the "last days" of this present system of things. Jehovah's Witnesses have been able to face, even death, because of the hope that we have that soon this present rulership will be done away with, and God's Kingdom with Jesus Christ as king will rule and even those who have died will be ressurrected to paradise on earth. See the article "Jehovah's Witnesses, Courageous in the Face of Nazi Peril": http://www.watchtower.org/e/19980708/article_01.htm == As one of Jehovah's Witnesses and can say that the Holocaust definitely happened and it was an extreme test of fait to be taken away from their homes and put in concentration camps but many were able to endure and survive. Those who died will have the chance to be resurrected and live forever in a paradise earth because they died faithful to Jehovah. Another test of faith was when they were tempted to deny Jehovah and offered relief by doing so.
Are Jehovah's Witnesses a Zionist organization?
Not really. Jehovah's Witnesses are fundamentally opposed to the concept of nations and politics. They maintain that all believers in all places should form local communities and self-administer according to the light of God. However, they hold that it is imperative that all Jews congregate in the Land of Israel to being about the Second Coming of Jesus. So, while they do not support Israel's existence (because they do not support the existence of any nation), they do support Israel's policies in regards to bringing Jews to Israel from afar. Also, Israel and Lebanon are the only countries in that area of the Middle East that permit Jehovah's Witnesses to practice, which makes Jehovah's Witnesses more likely to favor Israel than the neighboring Arab States which have banned their practice. Several Arab States have argued that Jehovah's Witnesses (like any ideology that they do not like) are Zionists in order to justify this infringement of religious freedom. Some other countries that ban Jehovah's Witnesses, like China and Vietnam do not make the same argument.

This is such a ridiculous question, I am not sure it deserves a response. Alll I can say is, "WHAT?" ANSWER Jehovah's Witnesses do not "prey" on anyone.

Firstly, Jehovah's Witnesses to not 'target' any age group, nation or race. They preach to everyone, in every home, in every street all over the world. Secondly, their message is not harmful. They teach the bible and encourage all to put the bible into practice. So, no Jehovah's Witnesses do not "prey" on anyone.
