I'm perfectly happy knowing that when I die my body will return to the Earth by means of decomposition. It makes me happy to know that I can give at least a little bit back to the planet that has supported me for so many years. After all, I've already taken so much. Well if you intend to be buried in a casket, your body will not be giving anything back to the earth for a long time. So you had better donate you body to a forensic lab that puts bodies on the ground to study their decomposition process. If you are cremated, how much will that give back to the earth? Ashes? JB Eh, that's the problem. Most cemeteries require caskets now, I believe. I'd much rather not be buried in a cemetery at all. I'll just have to try and look for other options and see if I can find a happy medium. Why would I be cremated? That's a waste. I struggled with the controled interment laws when I was young. Although what JB states is valid in theory, it fails to encompas the fact that eventually everything breaks down, the concrete would flood, the metal would wear through, and nature would find a way to return your remains in one form or another to it's own system. (Generally speaking) on the other hand if it did not...long after all of the religious waring factions have tried to convert and kill each other until the human race as we know it has ceased to exist...Someone in the distant future or an alien race could find your body and consider it to be interesting and make all kinds of theories about our burial customs while studying your anatomy.

The whole process is generally slower in a coffin, and the body may remain identifiable for many months. Some tissues, such as tendons and ligaments, are more resistant to decomposition, while the uterus and prostate glands may last several months. But within a year all that is usually left is the skeleton and teeth, with traces of the tissues on them - it takes 40 to 50 years for the bones to become dry and brittle in a coffin. In soil of neutral acidity, bones may last for hundreds of years, while acid peaty soil gradually dissolves the bones. Kinda gory...gigglesnort Speaking of hermetically sealed coffins...which most are NOT...simple matter of economics here... If one decomposes in a sealed coffin where are you theorizing the mass goes? Even if changing form in a sealed coffin the mass should stay in the same place other than gasses... |

They can give me whatever kind of coffin they want. Once they find my DNA it's all over. I get changed in the twinkling of an eye and it's bang, zoom, off to the moon!

well howdy howdy there all the fine people of JSH....My name is Debbie and I will be talking to you today about the possible trip to heaven. Giving your life to Christ just repeat "Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jesus to die on the Cross for me. Lord Jesus, I thank you for giving your life for me on the Cross. Jesus, I ask you right now to come into my life and be my Savior. I confess to You my sins and ask You to forgive me of my sins and cover them with you shed blood you gave many years ago at Calvary. I acknowledge I need you as Savior and Lord of my life, in order to me to ever go to Heaven. I repent of my sins and I ask You to help me to live my life, and to turn from then and to seek to bring You honor every day. Lord Jesus, thank you for the gift of everlasting life as I look to you for my way to heaven. I pray in you Mighty precious name, Lord Jesus. Amen." say this and your there....... Not a complicated thing....... God Bless and peace be with you all. You forgot the part where they actually have to mean it with all their heart and soul. It isn't some magic trick where you say the words and *poof* your "saved" with a golden ticket into the promised land. Sorry....it isn't that simple. Well actually.... Jesus said to Timothy... Because you have seen me you believe; blessed are those who have not seen & yet have believed. No one should question someone's open confession of faith in Christ. |

Speaking of coffins.
A local cornerer had to open a coffin that had been in the ground for 25 years. He said she look the same as she was buried. At least around here the coffin is sealed then put in a concrete vault sealed again. Must be different else where. ide in my viens. The same stuff they warn you about health rick if u have ever look at a new mobile home. I hope i can be buried within 24 hrs as i can be just put in a pine box as our ancesters were of late. And go back to dust or better just in the ground so my bones will go hopefully also. Blessings...Miles |
