Briefly based on litterature or movies I have read. I didnt dwell on it. Today the thought of going to heaven is only one of many possibilities that I consider from time to time.
Now if heaven is synonymous with paradise...
Did Anybody Here Ever Want To Go To Heaven?

I feel the same as you, Ken.
IMHO, I feel Heaven/Hell/God is all an insult to science, specifically medicine. -

Yeah....if heaven's so wonderful, why make such a big deal about living forever on the earth/?

It never appealed to me either. Even as a witness, I'd think about those of the remnant, and a sister I knew who was one, and wonder how they could be so happy to be going to heaven, when they were leaving behind their mates and/or children, and never see them again, in the "new system".
It didn't sound fun to me.

As a witness, I did not want to go to heaven.
I wanted an earthly paradise: shack on the beach, books, internet, swimming in the sea, good food, excellent wiskey, and a LOT of "forever" hot sex....aaaahhhhh.....after all, it is what Jehovah promised is it not?
Now, I have surrendered to the reality of the Kingdom as it will be and hope for a part in it: with all I know going in ahead of me. What will it be like? Do not know. Where? Ditto. How? Same.
Will it be better than what I hoped for as a JW? So much more...can not even imagine....

is heaven different for everyone? i mean, siting on a cloud, slaving away isn't my idea of heaven.
my heaven would be topless big breasted women serving me hot wings drenched in blue cheese and cold beer.

When my family stopped going to the Baptist church to become dubs, I lost the desire to go to heaven. They made a paradise earth seem so perfect. Of course, I was only 10 years old. Now that I'm out, I hope I do go to heaven. I've spent too many years wondering what happened to all the brothers and sisters that died while I was in the Borg. Did they just lay in the casket and rot? So I hope there is a better place.

Everyone but JW believe in heaven. I think the Jews do too.

Did I ever want to go to Heaven? Not the "heaven" most people think about. I think there is more after this life, what it is I don't know, and right now it's not a concern for me. I'm in no rush to discover it.
