Number two? I dunno... a plant maybe. Not sure if there are plants in heaven. Plants are always nice.

How about pets? Do you get reunited with your pets in heaven?

Inadvertently omitted reference to your "How about pets? Do you get reunited with your pets in heaven?"
What particular types of pets would you like to have at your mansion home in RHP Heaven?

Since each of us have made a date documented decision to accept the Red Hot Pawn Membership Terms of Service on the day of joining, we've all by definition become Members of Russ' Online Correspondence Chess Site Family.

Won't it be something to finally get to see each other up close and hear our individual accents in RHP Heaven! So you'll be able to recognize me: I'm 6' and 182 lbs. with blond hair cut regular American short and clean shaven. During my twenties and thirties I'm told my facial cheek and jaw bones bore a resemblance to John F. Kennedy's. How will we recognize you?

I would like to bring:

A Sunseeker power boat. One of the big ones.

A Porsche turbo

The Ras Mohamed national park. Just the underwater parts

The pole dancer I met in Novosibirsk last year

Well, "Provision has been made to allow each family member to bring up to three items along" however, since you've been
"a stand-in moderator a while back," I'm sure four will be fine. Excellent choices, by the way. How will we all recognize divegeester in the Big Meet Up Crowd of Site Members since February, 2001, at the Celestial Ballroom in RHP Heaven?

I figured the rule didn't apply to me.

And will divegeester be the well esteemed nominal patzer wearing a loin cloth and sandals?

P.S. What does the word "purportedly" actually mean when used in this online forum?

"Purported" is an adjective that we sometimes need to insert before an unsubstantiated claim [that someone else has made] when we mention it, so as to indicate that we do not necessarily accept the claim ourselves. "Purportedly" is the adverb.

Thank you.

Hi, GKR. I still think of your memorable words: "Actually, it was only one. The "closing down hell" part was within the contract. Number two? I dunno... a plant maybe. Not sure if there are plants in heaven. Plants are always nice." -Bob

Uncoerced: adjective. "done, made, or given with one's own free will (the therapist noted that uncoerced behavioral changes can sometimes strengthen relationships).

Synonyms: freewill, self-imposed, uncoerced, unforced, volitional, volunteer, willing.

Related Words: discretionary, elective, optional; impulsive, instinctive, spontaneous, unpremeditated; conscious, deliberate, intentional, knowing, willful (or willful).

Near Antonyms: compulsory, enforced, mandatory, necessary, nonelective, obligatory, ordered, required.

Antonyms: coerced, compelled, forced, involuntary, nonvoluntary, unwilled, will-less." (Merriam-Webster)

To my several friends who claim uncoerced decisions are humanly impossible: Nobody forced, mandated or coerced you to join Red Hot Pawn. Not Russ or the Game Moderators or Forum Moderators. No one; you made the decision all by yourself. Why? You assessed the reward to exceed the risk before making the decision to join. A temporal horizontal relationship vs. an eternal vertical relationship is the only difference with choosing for rather than against Christ for your eternal salvation.

For the sake of clarity, define any terms subject to interpretation.
"several friends"

To be clear, and translucent/transparent is "several friends" a synonymic phrase equivalent to and equal therefore to your interpretation "site members who contribute to this forum" and if so does that meaning differentiate them from others who may or may not, but will have wished, to thus participate?

For the sake of clarity please specify the difference, real or imagined, between "our relationship with people" and "our relationship with people in time".

Please indicate your understanding of the phrase "in time and eternity".

Thank you.

[yes since this hypothetical defines its general population as site members who contribute to this forum]

For the sake of clarity please specify the difference, real or imagined, between "our relationship with people" and "our relationship with people in time" [one and the same with the latter emphasizing temporal].

Please indicate your understanding of the phrase "in time and eternity" [faith in Christ for your salvation results in a personal relationship with God which begins in time and continues in His presence for eternity] i.,e., [now in June, 2014, and following our physical death].

Thank you.[/You're welcome]

Note: I hope to be with you and your dear family in heaven for eternity. You'll get along famously with my wife Evelyn.

For the sake of clarity, and so that it is clear to everyone, without
wanting to prejudice future discussion do you believe/think/wish
that "site members who contribute to this forum" are your "several friends"?

Can you elaborate on the phrase "one and the same" when you
later differentiate the phrases with "the latter emphasising temporal"?

So your phrase "in time and eternity" has an imbedded meaning which
includes "faith in Christ, salvation resulting from a personal relationship
with god, and continues in his presence"? Which of those implicit
attributes is coded within "in time" and which within "and eternity"?

Does your use of superfluous/unnecessary/incongruous commas
denote hidden meaning to i.,e., [sic] ??
