Up to 1461 words! I also did more 'research' by asking my mom and dad what they thought. Mom, a Baptist said that to be absent in the body was to be present with the Lord, according to Paul. Dad, a Jehovah's Witness, said that when you're dead, you're dead, but you'll be resurrected after the second coming and then either go to heaven(the select) or to hell(apparently the rest of us)
