Where Are You Going When You Die???

[nailedit]

Agnostic...I don't know.

Atheist...Nowhere. Consciousness is a product of the brain and it dies when I do.

JW's and others...The elect are chosen to live and the rest cease to exist.

Muslim...Muslim hell or Muslim heaven.

Christian...It depends on wether you are Catholic or protestant.

Catholic... have you worshipped the saints and virgin mary enough?

Protestant... have you believed in Jesus enough as your personel saviour?

You are going to hell eitherway...

Buddhist/Hindu.... work out your Karma.

NDE... we are all saved and going to experience heavenly type experiences.

Also NDE experiences, we are all saved, there is a hell for some, we reincarnate, we don't, we do!!

 

Decades of looking into this stuff I have to go with the first premise....

[Tilly2]

The crematorium and then a peaceful, riverside, wooded place where I have spent many happy hours with my dogs. Then, I will start a new life as a Peregrine Falcon.

My physical remains will go with Mr. J2s into the earth in the church graveyard. 

As for eternity?  I've tried to live a good life, teaching and helping others.  I've worshipped the deity I regard as a force for good.  If I'm right - I'll go to heaven (I hope), if there is no afterlife then I'll just cease to be and  won't know anything about it.  Barry wrote much the same.

No point worrying about it - but deep inside I believe that a strong life force cannot just be snuffed out.  No, I don't know how  that works, sorry.

[Atheist]

All the best, jourdain.

[Moorea7]

Finito - no more to be said.  

[rowanwitch]

I am with the atheists because I can't believe anything else is possible.  I would love to believe in some enduring energy form but I think we are just another type of animal, born, live, breed, die,  although I somehow failed on the primary objective.

Reincarnation?  Are you a worm in the next life - or a king?

[JinnyJoan]

I am a Catholic and Christian and a good one even though I say it myself but since I have been through so many accidents and car crashes and broken bones and I 'm still here - 

I always say "God doesn't want me nor does the Devil".  I will go when my time is up.

First I will read the Akashic records, then respond accordingly.

maybe a little country cottage upon a hill, with birds singing, and enjoy a perpetual summer.

we create our own future.......or do we?

[Ken4155]

Cremated and my ashes scattered on the top of Pendle Hill. Preferably a calm day,  but if there is to be a wind, let's hope it's blowing in the right direction - don't want to end up o'er the border in Yorkshire🙄

@Gulliver:

 

I Just hope when I get down there. I do not meet Thatcher.

 

 

She'll be waiting for you, to prod you with toasting forks.

[Blubster]

I'll be joining my missus in the local cemetery - sooner, rather than later, hopefully. Don't like the idea of going doolally and having to be cared for.

[mjwman]

Just goes to show what utter tripe religion is!

Death is life's greatest adventure.

I am too old for adventure. It could kill me.

[fiveleaves]

Heaven, not because of anything I have done, but because of what Jesus has done for me

[ladybirder]

I have asked my children to scatter my ashes on Silver Hill, Wath, nr Pateley Bridge in North Yorkshire. It has a beautiful view.  I've been trying to post a picture but I can't. We still have some of my son'sashes and they will be scattered with mine.  

I'd like to think I would be reunited with my youngest son who died in 1994 but I don't think that will happen.  I think when you're dead your dead and that's it.

 

 

 

 

 

[jourdain2]

Ladybirder - I know that place.  It is beautiful, if I get there again I will think of you.

[ladybirder]

Oh lucky you Jourdain.  How do you know about it were you on holiday there or perhaps it was when you worked in Bradford which isn't too far away?

I'm so glad you agree.  People walk and drive up there just to sit and look at the view.  

[jourdain2]

Ladybirder - I was born and lived between the Aire and Wharfe Valleys for 50 years (with a bit of an excursion into living in Calderdale) so my roots are there.  Family traceable back in Yorkshire until 1650. I know the Dales very well & we discovered that Mr. J2's grandad and all his  side of  the family came from Fewston on the Harrogate/Pately Bridge road.

[ladybirder]

I'm wondering if I'll be well enough to manage another visit there next year Jourdain.  I could get a wheelchair and have someone push me I suppose.  Not like there's any hills, much;-)  I fell in love with the area the minute I first opened the curtains and looked out after having arrived in the dark the night before.
