So despite this new “warning” DW will continue to follow the prophet and I’ll continue to follow science.

I know which advice is more enjoyable but this or any rational study will IMO do little to change the average TBMs opinion on the subject.

May we all live long and prosper.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there.

A shortened earthly lifespan seems like a reasonable trade-off for becoming a TK-smoothie, does it not Brother Hagoth? I mean sure we could have been enjoyed the aroma of fresh ground coffee in the present, but wouldn't we miss out on the fetching and toting in the hereafter? Those so-called "women" have it much easier. They can all be sister-wives up in the big house on cloud nine.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.
