Your Questions About Pass To Paradise

William asks…

Why do Jehovahs witnesses refuse to take the bread and wine and instructed by Jesus?

And why do they bother passing it around at their memorials?

admin answers:

They believe that only 144,000 are worthy to eat of the bread and drink the wine representing Christ‘ body and blood.

The 144,000 are ONLY of their Klan and of those that are the only humans going to heaven, lol… It’s ridiculous, but in any event, they believe that only 144,000 are heaven bound and everyone else stands a chance at an earthly life, that is, everlasting life on a paradise earth should they be judged to „life“ and not „death“ after Armageddon.

If there are only 144,000 worthy of the bread and wine, and only these many get to heaven, then will someone explain to me how in God’s green earth could FOUR OF THEM, that’s right, 4 of the 144,000 heaven-bound be from my very small home town congregation of Jehovah’s Witlessness???

Can anyone say „MENTAL ILLNESS“?

Anyway, I no longer am a part of this Klan but when I attended the congregation and was practicing as one of the Witlessness, I truly believed I was in the one and only true religion and I took it seriously. Trouble was there were so many hypocrites, liars, slanderers, sexual deviants, frauds, thieves, and other riff raff that it made me question the organization as a whole. When I did contact the Society in New York, the headquarters of this Klan, I was told by the liaison for the state that I reside in „You don’t want to be whiner, do you? You don’t want to be a complainer, do you“?

After I got this, I began to do research and God helped me to figure everything out. They are a CULT in the worst sense and they are no more God’s only organization than the planet of the apes, which I might add, does not exist.

Donna asks…

How to distinguish depression from feeling blue?

I did my due diligence on the subject, but the distinction still seems very unclear to me. For the last few years things have been getting progressively worse for me, on most fronts and now i have completely lost the ‚fire‘ i had for life before. I feel fatigued the whole time as well. That doesn’t mean i don’t have moments of happiness in the day, but after those moments pass, it always feels like the ‚happiness i felt wasn’t genuine and that i was kidding/distracting myself from reality. All in all, i feel indifferent most of the time, constantly trying to find a new way to distract myself.

So i am just wondering if i am going through a temporary rough patch, or should i see someone about this?

HAPPINESS:

The five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

An old Spanish saying goes: „There is no happiness; there are just moments of happiness“.
Reduce your expectations. Learn to distinguish between your needs, which are few, and your wants, which may be numerous. Reduce your wants to the level of preferences.

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. Hugh Downs
I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it. Groucho Marx (1895-1977)
People are just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln
It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.
Thomas Jefferson

Hypnosis is merely a heightened state of suggestibility, in which you are better able to communicate with your subconscious mind; view http://myfavoriteinterests.com/hypnosis/ about what it is, and isn’t. 85% of people are suggestible to some degree; 15% – 20% highly so, and 15% – 20% aren’t much at all, so you could either preferably seek professional hypnotherapy, or, if not an option, hypnosisdownloads.com has: Feel Happy Every Day. Professional advice is to use preferably only 1, or a maximum of 2 at any one time.

A man is but the product of his thoughts, what he thinks, he becomes.
Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)
The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
John Milton, Paradise Lost, Chapter 1 (1667)

Joseph asks…

what is the description of Paradise and Hell?

according to your belief tell what you know – in brief – about Paradise and Hell.

admin answers:

These are some descriptions from the Quran, my belief 🙂

HELL:

He will say: „enter ye in the company of the peoples who passed away before you men and Jinns into the fire. Every time a new people enters it curses its sister-people (that went before) until they follow each other all into the fire. Saith the last about the first: „Our Lord! It is these that misled us: so give them a double penalty in the fire.“ He will say: „doubled for all“: but this Ye do not understand. Then the first will say to the last: „see then! No advantage have ye over us; so taste ye of the penalty for all that ye did!“ To those who reject Our signs and treat them with arrogance no opening will there be of the gates of heaven nor will they enter the garden until the camel can pass through the eye of the needle: such is Our reward for those in sin.

The companions of the fire will call to the companions of the garden; „pour down to us water or anything that Allah doth provide for your sustenance.“ They will say: „Both these things hath Allah forbidden to those who rejected Him.

For them there is hell as a couch (below) and folds and folds of covering above: such is Our requital of those who do wrong.

Those who reject Our Signs We shall soon cast into the fire: as often as their skins are roasted through We shall change them for fresh skins that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is Exalted in Power Wise. The hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the fire: no helper wilt thou find for them.

But those who have earned evil will have a reward of like evil: ignominy will cover their (faces): no defender will they have from (the wrath of) Allah: their faces will be covered as it were with pieces from the depth of the darkness of Night: they are Companions of the Fire: they will abide therein (for aye)!

If thou couldst but see when they are confronted with the fire! They will say: „Would that we were but sent back! Then would we not reject the Signs of our Lord but would be amongst those who believe!.

PARADISE:

„But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness We shall soon admit to gardens with rivers flowing beneath their eternal home: therein shall they have companions pure and holy: We shall admit them to shades cool and ever deepening.“

„And We shall remove from their hearts any lurking sense of injury; beneath them will be rivers flowing; and they shall say: „Praise be to Allah Who hath guided us to this (felicity): never could we have found guidance had it not been for the guidance of Allah: indeed it was the truth that the apostles of our Lord brought unto us.“ And they Shall hear the cry: „Behold! The garden before you! Ye have been made its inheritors for your deeds (of righteousness).“

There no sense of fatigue shall touch them nor shall they (ever) be asked to leave.

The righteous will be amid Gardens and fountains (of clear-flowing water).

For them will be Gardens of Eternity; beneath them rivers will flow; they will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and they will wear green garments of fine silk and heavy brocade; they will recline therein on raised thrones. How good the recompense! How beautiful a couch to recline on!

Their greeting will be: „Enter ye here in Peace and Security.“

„When they will stand before (the Judgment Seat of) their Lord
There will be two Gardens containing all kinds (of trees and delights)
In them (each) will be two Springs flowing (free);
In them will be Fruits of every kind two and two.
They will recline on Carpets whose inner linings will be of rich brocade: the Fruit of the Gardens will be Near (and easy of reach).
Is there any Reward for Good other than Good?
And besides these two there are two other Gardens
Dark green in color (from plentiful watering).
In them (each) will be two springs pouring forth water in continuous abundance:
In them will be Fruits and dates and pomegranates:
In them will be fair (companions) good beautiful
Companions restrained (as to their glances) in (goodly) pavilions
Whom no man or Jinn before them has touched
Reclining on green Cushions and rich Carpets of beauty.
Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?“

Lisa asks…

What do you think happens after you die?

I hope and want to believe we all go to heaven, well all the good people, and get our truest wish fuhfilled. Mines would be to live my life all over, my childhood, my struggles, and experiences. What do you think? Heaven?Paradise? Pitch blackness?

Beware anybody citing Ecclesiastes chapter 9 as ‚proof‘ that there’s only unconsciousness after death (even if they go on to profess belief in the resurrection of the dead at some time in the future.) Why?

Because they never go on to tell you what chapter 12 concludes! The conclusion of the matter is summed up in chapter 12. Youths are advised to respect their creator, God, before they get infirm and approach death. Why? Two reasons:

At death „the spirit returns to God who gave it“ and, secondly, we will all have to explain to God why we lived our physical lives the way we did. So. The spirit returns to God who gave it. But those who cite chapter 9 don’t let on that they KNOW chapter 12 says this! They are forced to rubbish chapter 12 by dismissing ‚the spirit‘ as mere breath. Really? God takes our last breath to Himself? Our last breath goes to heaven, where God resides? How long does a ‚last breath‘ last? How quickly does it dissipate into the air around the then-dead body? What use is warm air to God? No! This spirit that returns to God at death is much more than a tiny bit of warm air that left our lungs at death!

Contemporary with the author of Ecclesiastes was the writings of the Psalmists. In 90:10 Moses is attributed as saying that after our appointed life-span (of seventy or eighty years), „their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.“ Fly away where?

It’s the same in Psalm 73:24 where Asaph declared of God, „You guide me with your counsel, and afterwards you will take me into glory.“ He wasn’t talking about being resurrected back to an earthly life because he went on to say, „Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.“

Well, unless your hope is based upon the fact of Jesus‘ crucifixion then resurrection, you will hope in vain. It’s not your wishes that count, but God’s will. Do you desire to live to please God now, in this life? No? Then what makes you think you will want to live in heaven to please God, and not just yourself? Why would God allow into heaven anyone who didn’t give Him due respect and obedience? Your opinion and my opinion count for nothing. God has already told us in His word the answer to your question. I suggest you read Jesus‘ comments on that in Luke chapter 19, from verse 16 to the end. Jesus came from heaven, became human, then after His resurrection returned to glory in heaven. He knows. Consider what He says and take that seriously, please.

Donald asks…

What is the URL that teaches elementary physics in a quirky way, such as launching babies?

This website helped me score in the top 2% of my class when I was studying physics, and I wanted to pass it on to a friend. Problem is, I cannot find it anymore! Anyone know of what I am talking about?

It had a red brick wallpaper as the background, and it was very engrossing. As I stated, there was one problem about launching a baby to figure out the velocity and displacement, along with others along the same lines.

admin answers:

I looked here hoping to find that someone knew your site…. Sorry not to find it.

You will like“xkcd“ ….. A series of cartoons which often use physics and can be a fun way to learn.

And I will keep hoping to run across your missing paradise. 😉
