CONTRARY to the stupid add playing on BWW, you do NOT go to Morman heaven......
Depends. Are you religious or Atheist? If you are religious, then you could believe in a religious afterlife. If you are Atheist, (I am not), but I think that the general atheist belief is that you just are dead, and nothing happens to you. Kind of scary, IMO.
I'm Jewish and I think we believe that when you're dead, you're dead. I'm going along with that.
Your posts on BWW become less frequent.

""I'm Jewish and I think we believe that when you're dead, you're dead. I'm going along with that."
I agree. *jumps on bandwagon*
Heaven!
Cloud City?
I'm Jewish too, and there is DEFINITELY a Jewish afterlife. I know many Jews who were not religious, and did not believe in heaven, they did not observe Shabbat, they had a life-threatening illness, were in the hospital, and were really dead for about 5 minutes. The doctors get them back to life and they said that they told HaShem that this was not their time and that they will observe Shabbat and be more religious from now on, and some are still alive today, and one died 7 years after that incident. I know that there is an afterlife. It's not "when you die, you die".

So you are basing your religious beliefs on Wikipedia?
Nice.
No, I just wanted her to see the Jewish position on the afterlife. I checked it, it's accurate.
OY GEVALT!
OK, well, I believe personally that when you're dead you're dead. I'll believe that until someone who died comes back to report what happened.
My Hassidic friend's father and uncles have no reason to lie about this. My friend's father lived 7 YEARS after that incident and he kept Shabbat every week from that day on 'til he died. If you don't believe me, ask your rabbi, I'm sure s/he knows people with these experiences, too.
"No, I just wanted her to see the Jewish position on the afterlife. I checked it, it's accurate."
Yea.
Right.
Wikipedia is ALWAYS correct. That's why students are not allowed to use it for any type of research.
*Shakes head*
It's not always correct. That particular article happened to be accurate.
You used to go to purgatory but it has been replaced by the Drama Desk award show. Forever and ever.

"you do NOT go to Morman heaven..."
What about a Merman heaven? Could you just imagine?

Or you are forced to chat on line with only Claymates or Fantasiacs.
Not to be too politically correct, but there are almost 13,000,000 Mormons in the world, at least one probably posts on BWW. They would be offended. That post should be deleted.
Musicaltheater, I'm fine with whatever anyone believes, really! Of course those incidents that you cited don't prove anything, but since I'm not religious, I have my own belief.
They prove EVERYTHING! What would be a 71 year-old's motive to lie? You not being religious is the region that our culture and religion is dying. Even if I didn't believe in anything in Judaism (I do believe it, though), I would still practice it for the 6,000,000 of us that died in the Shoah.
MTF,
My husband was baptized Mormon. He has no problem with it.
Shut it.
