The recent afterlife conversations and the brother Howie thread got me to thinking, after we pay the final tab down here, who whould you like to do some hanging with in the big gig in the sky ? That Howie sounds like a total fun blast, so he's near the top of my list along with all of you.
So besides the obvious, Jimi - Jesus - Einstein + Pigpen, who would you like to bump into up yonder ?
Tell my sweet baby, please don't cry (great line, dickey knows his destination - afterlife)
We'll reach the end we'll all be singin and we'll all be friends
Back where it all begins

I'm not a gambling man, but I will bet on a sure thing from time to time. Seeing people in eternity isn't what I'd call a sure thing, but encountering people here in life surely is.
If I'm overly focused on what might be, I might miss something that's happening right now.

I saw John Waite when he was in The Babys 4th 0f July 1979 at a festival in Rockford, Il. Everyone ignored them when they were playing. He got pissed off because of it and said, "What do you all read books!"
If I could go back in time I would have yelled back "Maybe you should read one to write a better song".

I don't think I missed the point of the words used in the OP. Don't words mean what they are?
"Afterlife", "up yonder", "big gig in the sky" - I have none of those, especially as relates to heaven or life after death. I was not raised with those concepts and still don't have them.
For those who do, proceed.

In 2003 I was under some stress for a reason and I had a VERY lucid dream one night where I was in heaven. I was in a rectangular room with like 6 people with benches on either side of the room and I imagine was me and my family were sitting there, The Joy and Love I felt eminating from there in that dream was so palpable and lucid. Like I was given a gift to see and feel that feeling. I know it was real. Never had a dream so real and lucid ever. Never felt in a dream except fear from bad dreams. But this dream was soooo real and lucid.

No trolling here, either, I saw that meme after reading this thread and saw there are even more ways of looking at the topic. I'm sorry if anyone felt trolled, it wasn't personal.
Ras, what you are saying is indeed personal, and reflects either your lack of knowledge of religions other than your own or willingness to harrass people from other religions or who don't share yours.
There is no eternity, heaven or hell taught in Judaism. Harassing Jews or anyone else for their religion is wrong and dangerous stuff.

The title of this thread could be interpreted as folks you wanted to see dead (Putin, Trump, people who talk tooooo much during shows, nasty trolls, robocallers, disney on ice, etc), vs personal party in heaven... (I bet the finger food is great, wonder who does the catering?)

Here's an idea for a scifi
Here's an idea for a scifi book/movie:
When you die you find out that the afterlife is just like this life, with a few key differences. For instance, women in this afterlife don't normally get pregnant (obviously, since they get their population from discovering woken-up dead people in the special places where they show up). However, one women does get pregnant, and the powers that be are after her. The newly woken from death folks show up cured of their illnesses and injuries, but are thereafter subject to entropy same as here.
If anyone wants to write it I'll be waiting for my cut.
