Where Do We Really Go When We Die ? (page 2)

Casper

I am one of the lurker/posters…

My intro story is at

http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/4425/1.ashx dated 2001.

I thought I would post my experience concerning this topic.

If any are familiar with my history, you know that I have been widowed
twice at fairly young ages.

My first committing suicide at the age of 28. Over the 10 years that
that we were married… we often talked of death and tried to imagine what
might be on the other side. He felt it was just a door way to the "Other Side"
as he put it.

My Husband seemed obsessed with death and often brought up
the thought of suicide, if things ever got to be too much for him,
his escape hatch, I suppose.

Sometimes he used it as a threat to get his way. I heard it so often I
didn’t give it much thought over the years. I was young and considering
everything going on at the time … it just didn’t click for me.

During many of our talks of death, he always told me that when he "went"
(died) that he would do "Everything" in his power to contact
me from the other side. We had many long discussions over this…

I was told to "Keep on the Watch"… (where have we heard that before…lol).
I honestly feel that if there is, in fact, a way for the dead to contact
us, he would have done it. He would have found a way.

It has been 24 years and there has been nothing…"NOT" one thing has
happened that I could honestly point to and say… "Yes, He contacted me
today…"

My conclusions:

1. There is nothing after death.
2. The dead really are asleep in Jehovah’s memory.
3. The dead are not allowed to contact us.
4. They have to be invited in some manner… (which I never did)
5. That by committing suicide he lost all access to any powers.
6. Or, he is having such a "GOOD" time…he has forgotten all about me..!!

Just wanted to share,

Cas

SAD EMO- What a touching experience you had. I'm so sorry about your mom's passing away. I am glad you were able to sense her prescence in the room though. I hope I get to experience that someday with a lost relative.

POPE- Yeah, I'll join ya when I die. I think I would want to be cremated. Maybe ashes spread over the mountains , or my wife might want them, don't know.

JOURNEY ON- I respect your views of something after death. Perhaps I'll experience something someday.

EX-NJ-JW- I tend to look at it as you do, Ex-Nj. Once I experience it, then I'll totally believe it.

REBORN AGAIN- I hope you are right that we do live on somewhere else after death. I like living. Hey, we can all crack jokes about what we went through as witnesses. Not that it was funny, but what the hell else are ya gonna do, when you're dead floatin' somewhere ? LOL.

JAGUARBASS- Sounds like you've got some seriously , psychically, endowed people in your family, your relatives. Jesus, even the dogs come back too !! Godamn!

SATANUS- Thanks for your contribution about the thread Jaguar showed. Have to check it out sometime. Peace out all, Thanks for the comments ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Hi, Flipper.

I still believe that God will resurrect the dead. It all seems rather pointless to allow man to be here a brief 100 years at best, only to have him go off into the ether world, never to be heard from again. "Truly, I tell you, today, you will be with me in paradise" from the lips of Jesus to the thief on the cross is still so real to me.

I'll continue to hope in at least that much. God is much bigger and greater than most, could ever possibly imagine. It will go well. Death is only a cessation from the trials of this futile life, while we all await an awakening from our sleeping in death.

I sensed my father's presence shortly after his death, and my brother's too, just over two weeks ago.

I think Sylvia Browne has some interesting ideas about the afterlife. however, some of what she says sounds a bit like catholic teachings, just jazzed up to have a new modern new age effect. (ie, she does believe In a type of purgatory). She believes in reincarnation,

I too have wondered if a spirit could contact us, why they did not. I think most of us, as jws, would have not believed it was our relatives we would have thought it was a demon not matter what the spirit said. .

I have sensed the presence of my deceased parents . I have i believe had some interaction with them.

Sylvia Browne says that when we die some do not go to the light and therefore postpone going to the other side. She says this is what a ghost is. , i am reading her books and find it-interesting. I am always wary of any type of afterlife that has a hierarchy system, as hers seem to imply..

I don't know if any of you recall the movie "Always:" with Holly Hunter and Richard Dreyfuss. To me that is what she is saying. I would have used the movie 'Ghost" with Demi Moore but in that one it shows the bad guys being dragged off by demons.

Some of my relatives were so unfriendly that they never visited each other in this life, can't imagine why they would drop by for a chat in an after life.

If I croak prematurely, some bodyparts will be salvage . The rest will be cremated, then placed in the Pacific Ocean sometime down the road.

That's about it.

Didn't you hear that millions now living will never die? Wanna buy a bridge?

The Governing Body

I think those who have had supernatural experiences are more open to those who have not.

I am not one of those persons but wish to have that kind of experience.

Me i believe that they do reach out to loved ones when they pass.

Also i believe that their spirit do go on in others like reincarnation.

I so believe my grandmothers spirit is in my daughter.She died (my grandmother)when i was 6 months pregnant

The physical body is an exact location to our spirit, and when we die, that spirit becomes part of the whole universe. Yet life in the physical world, is like a drug to the spiritual one, in that we can just not get enough. I personally feel that we have all lived many times and will live many more times ahead. I also believe spirits are all around us, a part of our life and something we are aware of ... if we pay enough attention.

I still believe that there will be a resurrection but am not sure whether it will be as soon as we die ( in spirit form), or at some stage in the future.

I have a friend who attends a spiritualist/healing church regularly and she is convinced that she receives messages from her nan often. When I was aged 16 ( soon after my mum died ), I was drawn to try and find out if I could get in touch with her so went to a spiritualist meeting. I didn't get a message but was freaked out by it all - it just felt scary, so I never went again. I wasn't a JW then and didn't know any of the Bible teachings on not contacting spirits so my fears weren't influenced by that. I just felt that I shouldn't be doing it.
