I've looked up a few proponents of this doctrine. I cannot find anyone who can answer my question: Where does the soul exist after physical death?
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding their arguments and need to be corrected. However, from what I understand this doctrine to teach is that when one dies the soul does not ascend to heaven, nor does it descend to hell. Neither is it cast into Hades (the abode of the dead). If the soul is not in either of these places, then where is it? If it's still sleeping inside the body, then what about the bodies that have been disintegrated?
Anyone ever heard someone answer this? Thoughts, ideas, experiences, and encounters with proponents of this doctrine would be interesting to hear.
Note: I do not hold to the view of Soul Sleep. The Bible teaches that the soul is cast into the divided realm of Hades (Sheol). One side of paradise and the other of torment.

There's a lot of Seventh Day Adventists on the Oaklahoma TV stations that dogmatically teach the doctrine of soul sleep. Yet I'd like to hear how they respond to my question.
