Work in The Afterlife

[FarSideOfTheMoon]

After I die, I was looking forward to a nice long eternal rest, feet up watching the football for eternity etc etc.

However, life, or rather death, isn't that easy, and you have to put in an honest day's graft in heaven.

Is it wrong to laugh at the stupid? It certainly feels it 8)

Hi everyone

My grandson has told me (before his scary experience - he is totally closed off now) that "Grandad has 'powers' now & has a job in heaven, but he gets some time off. His job is protecting heaven".

Can anyone shed light on this?

Hi all, when our loved ones pass over they do need looking after. If someone has had a long illness over say many months or years when they pass they can be very exhausted when they reach the spirit world and they need nurses to look after them and bring them back to full health. Some of the firemen and police officers who died in the awful 9/11 murders, have come back and told their loved ones that they have been working to help those who have passed to reach the spirit world and comfort them and help them settle in. So yes their is work to do in the spirit world. You may even come back as a guide. With my nursing training and being a spiritual/Reiki healer, I may work as a healing guide. This also goes for doctors as well.

Love, Light & Peace

hi SA
I have just had the same experience with my little girl recently and she said the same that they still have to work in heaven even the angels get jobs to tidy up there.
Can i ask how old is he?
I have 3 really psychic children.
Spirits live their lives pretty much the same as we do and they have jobs on the otherside.
love and light Jen X

Farside, when I die, I know I will go to the spirit world - hopefully the Scottish malt whisky spirit word. Ideally, Talisker.



Have a ND.

PS Not wrong to laugh at the stupid, as you asked.

[Cuddles]

Why is the afterlife always so boring? Do people really have such poor imaginations? Why does everyone turn into white-robed do-gooders as soon as they die, rather than just being themselves? When I die, I'm going to be an angel of death. Sounds much more fun than all this spirit guide business. Bring on the flaming swords and brimstone.>:D

What is brimstone anyway?

[FarSideOfTheMoon]

I was looking forward to the virgins - but now I'm thinking they might just be "working girls" :-[

Sulphur.

This thread is a joke.

And it is not what I thought UKS was about.

Laughing at stupid people?

Laughing at other people’s beliefs?

Time to get back on track, folks.

I like a joke and I know there is always room for some humour. But this isn’t humour. This is people talking silly!

Laughing at stupid people?

"Stupid" people? How does that value judgement differ from anyone else's if you disagree with them? ???

[Zaira]

I don’t know. I just didn’t like the ‘tone’ of the thread.

[FarSideOfTheMoon]

Zaira,

I'm sorry you found offence in the post. Maybe stupid is a really strong word to use, but ultimately I don't really know what more to say about people who have such beliefs and continue to spread them across the internet.

The fact is they are stupid, or at a minimum extremely foolish.

We're never going to get the point across to people like that, well never in a rational way anyway. There is a point, for me, where I can no longer continue to humour or give respect to them, and all you can do is laugh.

The intention for this thread was to highlight the nonsense that supposed psychics spread on-line and show just absurd it is, like many of the other threads on this section of the site.

[Araneus]

It is absolutely right to mock people who act in asinine and ridiculous ways. Nobody has a "right to be respected": if they act like clowns they can expect to be treated like clowns.

"People have jobs in heaven" -- what an absolute joke. Do they have mortgages and utility bills as well? Car accidents, politics, tabloid newspapers? What is the point of a "blissful afterlife" if it is exactly like this one?

[Zaira]

Moon,

I understand your frustration. But I know what it’s like to struggle and need something to hold onto. I don’t see them as stupid. I think they are simply missing something. They found something they believe in and decided to stay there. I made lots of discoveries myself but I never stopped looking for the truth. What I found made sense for a while until something else popped up and it was time to move on again.

[Zaira]

Araneus,

It isn't right to mock anyone. And I'm not saying respect them. I am saying that they are more to be pitied than mocked.

[fruitfly]

I don't know about stupid people, but if I have to work in the afterlife, I'm not going!

[Zaira]

Me neither.

But knowing my grandparents if they do work there then when I get there I'll be rich and I won't have to work. - They were workers. 8)

Araneus,

I hear what you are saying, but sometimes mocking is the only way to get through to people that they are making an erse of themselves ;)

The latest edition of Chambers Dictionary gives "stupid" as,
.."stupefied or stunned; senseless; insensible; deficient or dull in understanding; showing lack of reason or judgement; foolish; dull; boring.

I think your use of the word is correct. Perhaps it might be possible to qualify what you said by saying the people who believe this stuff might not be stupid, but what they believe, is. But I use the word "might".

[Cuddles]

It isn't right to mock anyone.

Sure it is. It may not be particularly helpful and certainly isn't a good way of convincing them of anything, but it all comes down to freedom of speech. They have the right to say bullshit, we have the right to laugh at them for it. If they don't want to be laughed at, there's a very simple solution. And as Bindeweede says, by any reasonable definition, they really are stupid. Pointing this out may not be nice, but that's life. You have the right to have your own opinions, but you don't have the right to have those opinions respected.

I'd prefer Ardbeg in my heaven. :tongue:
