For any one any where else in the universe, we are already in heaven (up for them).
jesus also said (so they said) "you will be with me in paradise", so it cant be bad." permanent paradise sleep? if you are being tortured to death, sleep really would be paradise.
but I am not holding my breath waiting,
enjoying life along with you-all.
I not longer have a belief....thanks to religion.
When I'm dead it's all over. That's it. Lights out.
I value life more now I'm atheistic.
Thank you, friends, for your good comments. Hi, too, Humbled!
Making the best of today seems all that we can really do. It's all I know, and I am getting better at living, enjoying the moment.
CHEERS!

I'm like Punkofnice...having been betrayed by the WT I can no longer believe in things I can't prove...I just live each day to the fullest and I enjoy every second of it. Right now my wife is off to the KHall...I am going to take a walk along the river and watch the thaw-swollen waters rush downstream.
Well, it's hard to figure out what to believe. I've had a couple of experiences that make me wonder what's real and what isn't.
One night I dreamed there was a gathering of my dad's siblings. One of the sisters was in the middle of all the others with a big smile on her face. Her name is Marie, and she died over 50 years ago of cancer. (She was in her 30's at the time.) The next day, I got a 'phone call from my sister stating that the last living member of that group of siblings had died. It's almost like Marie was happy because they were all together again.
Fast forward a few years: One night I was awoken from a sound sleep, not by noise but by a strong feeling that someone else was present. I could not see or hear anyone, but I felt very strongly that someone was in the room with me, and that this being was not happy. I don't know how to describe a feeling that someone else is present, but I assure you I felt it. I was very tense and could not relax. At any rate, I learned the next day that my cousin Ann had died that night. Ann and I had been apart for many years and were reconnecting by e-mail. She died shortly after having gastric bypass surgery.
My mom had similar experiences that she told me about as well, involving different people from the ones I wrote about above. One of my mom's dreams was about Marie before she died, predicting her death.
Oddly enough, my niece dreamed about Princess Diana the night Diana died. My niece said Diana was in a long, narrow "room" and was pleading that her children be taken care of. My niece woke up in the middle of the dream and got a drink of water. When she went back to sleep, Diana was stilll "there" pleading with her about her children. Why would my niece be one of those to get these signals from a Princess on the other side of the ocean?
There are many mysteries. None of this has anything to do with heaven, but it might indicate that there is something more after we die.
It's really scary for me to tell you guys this stuff, as I don't know how the dearly departed would feel about it. I also am putting myself in a position to have my sanity questioned.
Oh, well. I am only reporting what happened.
