- If I'm not mistaken, and I probably am (it's been a loooong time since
- I was up on my Jehovah's Witness stuff), they believe that heaven is
- already full, and that Witnesses that die are kind of held in a
- Limboish (or Limbaughish...pretty much the same thing <duck>) state
- until the end of the world, at which time the Witnesses'll take over
- and rule...or something like that...I'm probably way off base here...
