One of the original episodes of the Twlight Zone had an old man who died walking down a road with his coon dog. He meets a good looking young man who welcomes him saying these were the gates of heaven. When the old man tried to bring his dog, the young man says sorry but dogs aren't allowed in heaven. This doesn't sound right to the old man so he says goodbye and continues walking down the road where he meets another nice looking young man who says this is heaven. The old man asks if his dog is welcome and the man says of course. Turns out the first place was hell.
As a Presbyterian, I was initally appalled. When I looked at the sign more closely I noticed it was a Cumberland Presbyterian Church, a fundamenalist sect. I think that more mainstream Presbyterians can believe that dogs can to to heaven. TB
When children ask me, "Will there be dogs, cats, ice-cream, etc., in heaven?" I always answer, "If you want dogs, etc., in heaven, they will be there."!!!!!! Hope I'm right!
JuJu is waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge, my friend. When it's your turn to kick the bucket, she will be waiting there, and you will walk over that Bridge together. I have several 4 legged friends waiting for me there.
As there's never any change in lighting or to the cars in the background, I suspected somebody had used one of the many online church sign generators.
The hoax is explained in this Feb '09 blog entry Fictional Church Sign Wars: http://jjordanunitedstates.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!F1CC6DF8DF00BDB2!2146.entry
I'm gonna sound like a wet blanket but there ain't no heaven, there ain't no hell (except for what humans have made for ourselves right now), and there ain't no souls. Nobody is waiting for us after we're dead cuz when we're dead, we're dead. End of story.

ReplyDeleteAll the people and pets I have loved will be in heaven; of that I have no doubt.
