Thank you everyone for your thoughts and condolences. I do feel as Concerned Mama says, the energy is too precious to not go on. I do think it survives in some way.
The WTS always said we "sleep in death". I could never quite understand how if you have ceased to exist and your body is rotting away, where is this "sleeping" taking place?

Dear Target,
My sincere condolences. The loss of a friend must indeed be hard to take. I have no answers regarding what comes after nor firm beliefs.
However, I did see a saying recently that meant a lot to me: "Don't cry because it's over--smile because it happened." What its application is that you enjoyed such a friendship.
Best wishes to you.
Pat
Dear Target,
I am truly sorry for your loss-- Hug--
I used to be a JW and am now a Christian. I do believe the Bible is the inspired word of God -- Not the God of the Watchtowers invention-- but a loving, caring, intelligent and fair God. I could tell you what the Bible says regarding death, the after life, heaven and hell but unless you really want to know I'll just send a big hug and prayers your way. I don't know your friends heart so I don't know where they are but be assured that life doesn't end at death and there is a wonderful God you can choose to spend eternity with. <><
Hey Eligah,
What "end times" are you refering to? In case you wondered, I'm the true "Eligah"!
