Is Hell Real? A true account of a Jehovah’s Witness after death Experience.

Ex-Jehovah Witness Learns the Witnesses lie about our Spirit Bodies

The Near Death Experience of Haydee Cortes;

I was baptized by the Jehovah witnesses in 1970. I believed in God but I didn’t believe that Jesus Christ was God.  I believed Jesus Christ was a god created by the true God. I didn’t believe in life after death much less that there was a conscious spirit that would leave the body when one died. I didn’t believe in any kind of miracle healing nor I believed that God would communicate with people through visions or dreams. I believed that all kind of healing, miracles and visions were the work of the devil. I was very loyal to these Jehovah Witness teachings, and nobody could convince me of the contrary.

On September 12, 1973 I was ready to have a C-section done. While I was on the operation table I could see how the doctors and nurses were getting ready to do their job and they were kind of painting my abdomen with an orange liquid. I was concerned about it and asked what were they doing. The doctor explained to me that they were doing this before the anesthesia since they had to apply the anesthesia and start cutting right away to avoid the baby to be sedated.

They started injecting me the anesthesia and I felt a strange sensation. My body got stiffed, but my mind stayed awake. I realized they were going to cut my abdomen and I was not asleep. I tried to move and scream in desperation but all efforts were in vain. I started feeling a terrible pain while they were cutting my abdomen. All of a sudden in the middle of my pain I heard an audible voice saying; “Look what is going to happen to you!”
In that instant I was pulled out of my body with a sudden swoosh. I was moving very fast in a circular motion heading toward the ceiling of the room. I stayed hovering there looking down to what they were doing. I could see how my baby was being taken out of my womb. I felt very sad and I said: “Nothing can be done, everything is over for me on the earth. I was so anxious to see that baby and I couldn’t even hold it in my arms”. I remembered my other children with sadness and said, “This is the end; now my children will forget all about me”.

I then started going up. I was aware I didn’t have a solid body. I was some kind of energy force moving at a high speed like in a circular motion. I was completely conscious. I knew I was me and I had all my memories with me. I knew I had left the earth. I found myself in a pitch black place. I started asking questions to myself. “Is this the universe? Where am I? Where am I going to? Am I going to stay here forever?” All of a sudden I started feeling something very strange. The only word I can use for this is agony or torment. At the same time I was feeling a need for my body. I wanted to get out of there and I wanted my body back. I couldn’t bear the torment. I remembered the voice I heard at the hospital right before coming out of my body (“look what is going to happen to you”). I started screaming “PLEASE, DON’T LET THIS TO HAPPEN!” ” I ACCEPT I WON’T EVER GO TO THE EARTH AGAIN , I ACCEPT I WON ‘T EVER SEE MY CHILDREN AGAIN, BUT I CAN’T ACCEPT I WILL BE HERE FOREVER”. “NO, PLEASE, DON’T LET THIS TO HAPPEN!” Immediately I heard a group of voices saying at the same time “This is for you to believe”. I answered ” I only believe in the Almighty God.

Then there was a silence.

The torment I was feeling stopped and I started to come down at a high speed again. I found myself back to the ceiling of the hospital room. This time my body was laying on a stretcher and I saw a nurse tapping its face and saying “Haydee, wake up!” I could clearly see her while I was moving down closer. Then I was softly dropped inside my body. The nurse was still tapping my face and calling my name. I opened my eyes and there she was right in front of my face. I looked at her eyes while I was thinking “I wish you knew where I’m coming from”. I couldn’t take the experience away from my mind and I was in a big concern about people in the world. I thought, “The Jehovah Witnesses deceived me, we are Spiritual Beings inside a flesh body and we come out of the body when we die!” People don’t know what can happen to them. They should know about this!”

With this experience I learned that since I didn’t believe in the Son of God I was in darkness. And there is where I went.

Matthew 8:11-12,” And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Matthew 25:30 – And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

A few days later I was discharged from the hospital. I couldn’t stop thinking about my amazing experience. I kept on repeating to myself, “I was deceived by the Jehovah Witnesses about no spirit coming out of the body when we died, and I just experienced it”. I started to care for everyone in the world. I wanted to warn everybody about that dark place. I decided then to believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord and started visiting a Christian church.

After I have received Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior I woke up one night and got up from my bed. While walking toward the door I looked back at my bed and I saw my husband sleeping and to my surprise, my body was also there next to him. I realized I was out of my body again but this time I was not a formless energy moving at high speed. This time I had a body. I stretched my arms forward and looked at this new body. I then looked at my children’s bedroom and I felt sad to leave them. I thought, “now when my children wake up they will see I’m dead. They will bury me and they will forget all about me. They don’t have anybody to take good care of them, poor things”.

I then knelt on the floor and started praying, “Please Lord, in the name of your son Jesus Christ, return me to my body. My children need me.” I felt a force lifting me up slowly from the floor and positioned me on top of my material body on the bed and I started to come down slowly until I fell inside it. Right away I tried to open my eyes and move but the body was rigid like a wall . All efforts to move were in vain. I got desperate and I started to pray “Please Lord, my children need me; there is no one to take care of them properly, bring me back to life.” I started feeling like needles inside my whole body. I felt the force of life and the beating of my heart. I then opened my eyes and this time they opened. Then I moved my fingers to check and they moved. I then jumped out of my bed amazed.

I have told this experience in different churches and many lives have been touched and have given their hearts to the Lord. To God be the glory.

The Watchtowers “Hell”

I truly believe that one of the things that “tickles the ears” of non-believers is when they hear from a Jehovah’s Witness that there is no Hell.  Let’s face it, it makes us feel good. It brings relief to a persons mind. In other words, as the Bible puts it, “It tickles the ear” or it’s something that you want to hear. But is it true? Can we actually live our life without any regard for anything or anyone? Can we murder or rape or steal or have sex with anyone no matter how young or the sex? All this is without the prospect of some punishment as long as we are not caught?

So in other words, as long as a person is not caught and goes on for many years and then dies, he just fades away. He ceases to exist. Wow, I want everyone to think about that because that is what the Watchtower teaches. This is great for the person who wants to live it up. Hey, I only have one chance in life, let me do what I want and see how long I can go. Yes, the Watchtower says that the punishment is the fact that they “never wake up” they just return to the dust.

Do you know that Jesus spoke more about Hell than he did any other subject? Why? Because he wanted to make sure everyone got it and understood. One of the problems that the Watchtower faces is their doctrine on the soul. You see, they don’t believe you have a soul, so how can you be in hell?

Let’s look at what Jesus said. Luke 12:4-5, “And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath the power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.”

So how is it that if someone’s body ceases to exist, they should fear anything? You are gone, you don’t feel or see or know anything according to the Watchtower. They have depicted it as nothing unpleasant after death, you just cease to exist. So let me ask you, why would someone need to fear anything after he was dead as Jesus said?

In Moses time, people who rejected the law, “died without mercy” and Hebrews added, “How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot…? It’s a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of a living God.” Now, does the scenario of “non existence” fit this description?

Luke 16: 19 gives us a clear picture of what Hell is like. It tells the story of a rich man named Lazarus who died and went to Hell. Look it up in your Bible and read it. It gives a clear picture of what it is like. Of course the Watchtower says that its nothing but symbolic images of Abraham and Jewish leaders and followers of Jesus.

That just doesn’t even make sense people. If you go with the principals of all the other parables, you will see that he doesn’t change his way to convey his message. Jesus always relates to real things in the world at the time to get his message across. People really did dig in the fields, sons really did leave home and squander their money, employers really did hire people to work in the vineyard.

So even if there were some “symbolic meaning” that may be in there, this story would also be based on fact.

Another thing to notice is that when Jesus told actual stories he used personal names, in parables he would say “a certain man” .

Another tactic of the Watchtower is to paint our God as some sadistic god by asking you to picture little babies or children trapped in hell undergoing excruciating pain and then ask you, “How could God do such a thing?”. What do you think everyone says? Of course, they agree, but that is not the true God. That is a God they made up to make you think that God would never send anyone into Hell. Its an idol of their making.

Read the book of Matthew and you will have plenty of verses on hell
