What would you do if your husband/wife passed away???

The "I would die of grief" option is a bit tricky. I doubt people have any real control over if they die of grief or not but it can happen.
I've heard of elderly couples, when one dies, the other dies a few days/weeks later of grief. :( so sad
Yeah, I know. It's because of the power the brain and your psychological status has over your immune system. It's just very very sad because it really is dying from a broken heart.
This poll IS horrible, even though there is the possibility of it happening
Yeah this poll is really horrible, i'm actually surprised it got approved! haha.. but yeah it's something i think everyone thinks about once in a while, any day your mate could die in a car accident right? Ughhh... SO scary.. :(
"It would be hard to imagine marrying someone else, but if it happens it happens"
that's not really an answer at all...
so if u got remarried... and u, ur first husband/wife, and ur second husband/wife all end up making it into the new system... who would u be with??
didn't Jesus address this? I believe he said that resurrected ones don't marry
Yeah. It's at Matthew 22:23-33, Mark 12:18-27, and Luke 20:27-40
hm... ok from now on i will research BEFORE posting haha but yea, now that u mention it, it does sound familar...
As in they are no longer married or they won't be allowed to marry?
That is the question! No one I know has ever came up with an answer for that one. Actually, my one friend just said that there would be no marriage in Paradise..but I don't think that's the right answer soo.
And now that I read Matt's answer..maybe that IS the right answer.
no, i think it's just resurrected ones who wont be able to be married...like if you and your husband both live through the end...you'll still be married
I don't think that's the answer either. Jehovah was the originator of marriage in the garden of eden and that was a paradise.
Yeah i just don't think we have the answer to that right now. Marriage is, however, "till death parts us"... so i duno. It's interesting, it's gonna be interesting to see what happens.
yeah, that's true, the bible does say specifically that death releases a man or woman from the marriage bond.
SO then I wonder if we'll be able to "re-marry" our mate. I duno, I just couldn't imagine waking up in a meadow petting lions and tigers .... and seeing my husband married to someone else. That's kinda funny tho when I put it that way, cos ... dangit i'd be ALIVE AGAIN petting lions and tigers and about to start living forever in a paradise earth and all that good stuff!! SO MUCH TO DOOOOO and SEEEE!!! hahaha... I know Jehovah will make sure that we are all happy and that all our needs and wants are fulfilled. So I know it will be ok. I hope it comes soon so, if all goes well, we can live thru it together. If not, ... I have complete faith that Jehovah will make sure we're both happy and taken care of, whatever that may be.
AND... would I want my husband to live out the rest of his days alone? Would he want taht for meee?? holy crap, this is a crazy thing to think about. Kinda like how the universe is immesurable. Boggles me.
yeah. and also, when did time start?? at some point, jehovah created time. but what was before then? i don't know....wow
jehovah is time. once someone reaches immortality.. they no longer depend on jah for life
actually, man invented time. it's purely a figment of our imaginations, and depends completely on perspective and point of view.
actually - i don't think that's right, ian. Jehovah created time. The bible speaks of Jehovah making, during creation, a division between night and day - hence, TIME.
(I know you're gonna debate this until you're blue. so just admit i'm right. and no calling in dean to help. that's cheating.)
well creating 'divisions' isn't really creating time. i have an apple pie.. and i cut it in half.. is it going to take me a longer or shorter amount of time to eat it ??? no.. it's still there in full. so "time" is still all around us , it's basically existence. We've placed labels on it.
And you can't have milk.
dude soymilk is just as good if not better
HEY!!! I kinda agree with you Dan. I don't really know the answer, but even if time is only an experience of humans, Jehovah created in us the ability to experience that, so he created time.
But I tend to think that time is a concrete thing, a measurable dimension, from all the physics junk I've read. Also Jehovah is a God of order, and his plan for us is hinged on timely prophecies.
That makes me nervous and I don't like thinking about it.
i just hoping that god reinstitutes the heirem. so that way if my baby dies.. i can marry another.. and then have DOS in the paradise..
yeah that actually is a pretty sweet idea...
you guys are horrible.
i don't think harems or swinging will be allowed in the new system, you cretin!
For some reason everytime I tried to "reply" it said Error On Page. I duno. Anyways, I thought that the "resurected ones don't marry" thing applies to the annointed, and that we don't really know what's gonna happen with those not annointed. Kinda like we don't know if we're gonna eat meat or not. Or where wer'e gonna live. Or how we're gonna clean up the earth. Or whether or not there will be cars. That's why I wondered if people think about what they would do....
And as far as the "if it happens it happens" option.. um, I guess I was thinking, you're not categorically saying NEVER MARRY AGAIN but you dont think it's likely.. but if you found someone you maybe would get married. Haha, yeah it's not an answer at all.
I'd be crushed if my wife died. I'd probably cry. I think a man has only two reasons to cry when he's older... lets say.. 21... if his mom dies.. and if his wife dies.. otherwise . suck it up. and be strong for others.
i don't think that's a good idea. all this being strong. what does it accomplish? you don't get big muscles from it, that's for sure. probably, you get some mints at the end. thanks for playing.
At first I thougght you were messing around with a tinge of machismo, but are you really that bothered by men crying?
i'm definately not bothered by it. but if i see some grown man crying over something stupid... like losing his shoes... i'm just gonna look at him like a fool... lose a little respect for him.... so i'm really not disgusted by it or anything, just dont expect empathy or sympathy from me.
And yes I do think it's a weakness... and everyones has or HAD it. i'm done.
my weakness is dark chocolate
and if you're under 21.. cry all you want. you're still a boy
I'm not even married and this poll makes me feel so sad.
true. made me sad as well.
this is a *reality poll*.
i've seen this happen( the loss of a mate) far too many times this year.
accidents, sickness.
if it were to happen to US I hope it would be ME to die cause I'm not emotioanlly stong enough to handle it if HE did.
and, anyway, the single sisters would be all over Nick in a sec and he'd be better off anyway.
hahaha i like the new option-find the one that got away. you are so horrible
sounds to me like you're planning on killing your husband...
Bis- Kill Your Boyfriend
fun song!
BIS RULES! i wish they'd stop making songs for the Cartoon Network tho. we need some coool new stuff!
They do indeed. My sister got to hang out with them once after a show because their manager saw her shirt and was like "wow..Manda has the same one" and invited her back to hang out with them.
now THATS cool. i wanna meet Bis! such interestin' music.
hmm..this would speed up the whole us getting married process....listen to the song more!!..maybe it'll brainwash you into obeying it's lyrics..haha
Okay! I shall do that right now.
this...is a HORRIBLE thought....the thought alone of finding the love of your life, & just losing'm in the blink of an eye, not cool @ all...it's funny this poll's here..@ work today I spoke on the phone w/a customer who mentioned that her hersband had passed, I instantly fealt SO feakin sorry for her, bummed me out for a lil bit
Yah know..I clicked that link because I was confused and thought it brought me to some other poll you were talking about. It didn't.
