I know there are probably many people here who don't believe in the afterlife. But in this thread, if you could just pretend that you do, who are the people you'd like to meet when you die?

Some people I'd like to meet are:

Andy Gibb
Maurice Gibb
John Lennon
George Harrison
Elvis Presley
Buddy Holly
Karen Carpenter
Enid Blyton
My Grandmother
My Great Aunt
Jesus
Steve Irwin
Allen Ginsberg

When I die I would like to meet my high school girlfriend who passed away in 1994.

Okay, it's kinda corny, but...

I'd like to meet my maternal Grandparents.

My Mom's Father died long before I was born and my maternal Grandmother died when I was an infant, so I never knew them.

- Our creator (God) and Jesus
- Ronald Reagan
- John Wayne
- Abraham Lincoln
- Benjamin Franklin
- Lorne Greene, Dan Blocker and Michael Landon
- Dick York and Elizabeth Montgomery
- Elvis
- Judy Garland
- Thomas Edison
- And the Wandering Spirit in my avatar ;-)

More later. ;)

I'd like to meet my grandparents and great aunts and uncles who've passed away. As for as celebs, I wouldn't mind meeting Ted Knight, so I could tell him how much I loved him on TMTMS. Most of the other celebs I like are still with us (knock wood!), so I think that about covers it.

BTW, Sharop, have you read the book The Five People You Meet in Heaven? If not, I HIGHLY recommend it!

I saw an article about Johnny Unitas's career and passing when it came out in the paper, otherwise I might not have known about it either. Somehow, I never remember seeing or hearing the story via the TV or radio.

I think I would like that. :)

Make sure you're wearing some old clothes - in his later years, Maurice enjoyed playing paintball, so you could get splattered, Yooch. ;)

My grandmother on my Dad's side. She died several years before I was born.

Also George Harrison, John Lennon, Carroll O"Connor, John Ritter, Princess Diana and Jaqueline Kennedy.

Maurice enjoyed playing paintball, so you could get splattered, Yooch. ;)


Paintball is tons of fun, just remember to be protected. My friend got a huge bruise on his abdomen because he didn't use the proper protection. Those things hurt like hell.

Make sure you're wearing some old clothes - in his later years, Maurice enjoyed playing paintball, so you could get splattered, Yooch. ;)
