The doctrine of hades exists in substantially its original Christian form in the Eastern Orthodox Church[8][9]. It ... exists in its Old Testament form, as the abode of the unconscious dead, in certain other denominations, such as the Jehovah's Witnesses. In mainstream Western Christianity, however, it has largely been replaced by the concept of the soul going straight to hell, heaven[10], or (in Roman Catholicism) purgatory.
