Whaaat? I went to the First Baptist Church too? My grandmother went to the Primitive Baptist Church that had a dwindling flock of old folks. Methodist?! Sacrilege. To this day, I have to be careful, when I go back home, not to say damn or hell. At thirteen, I told my mom, no more, and she knew I was damned. Is it legal for me to talk to you? 😇

I honestly don't even know what they believe, because I was too young to remember any of it.

Me either. Recently a friend started watching zoom sessions of Jehovah's Witnesses and from what he says they seem quite reasonable, not that I'm planning to join.They do not believe in heaven or hell, thus no afterlife. They never ask for money and do not celebrate Christmas. They mostly just study the Bible. They are persecuted in Russia because they refuse to serve in the military: also reasonable but I would not lose my head over it. If I ever get religion in my old age, as so many do, I would go that way but that is not going to happen I'm pretty sure. Nice talking to you

They do not believe in heaven or hell, thus no afterlife.

This says they do believe in heaven, but that only 144,000 people get to go there; I remember reading something that says they believe it's already full, though.

Their followers are promised eternal life on Earth (I assume after being brought back to life), while bad people just die and don't go hell.

This is probably what Jews believes before Jesus, although I don't know about the 144,000 number, which honestly sounds like a joke — can God not afford more real estate? Regardless, it's definitely an interesting take.

Personally, I don't believe in hell either, and believe heaven ain't a literal place, but rather a state of being, namely: unity with God. Some similarities, but we don't really agree.

They are persecuted in Russia because they refuse to serve in the military: also reasonable but I would not lose my head over it.

Same thing happened to the Quakers here in the US.

Nice talking to you

You too!

I thought of this right after clicking SAVE. You are right. I shouldn't speak for them since I'm an outsider. They are good people based on my limited experience.
