In orthodoxy they say you are aware for 40 days after you die. You meet demons, maybe saints too, idk. But you spend forty days awake during which you learn your ultimate fate. You are a ghost fo forty days and you know you're going to hell and you can see your family, imagine that. Then you sleep until judgement day.

>>41252276I don't know. There is the story where the disciples thought Peter's "angel" came to them. Because it looked like peter, they probably thought it was his ghost.
can you jerk off in those 40 days?
>>41252307Yes, that happened, but to take that and twist it into this 40 day thing...“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 5:8)No ghosts. A believer drops dead and immediately wakes up in heaven.

Isn't this just a Toll House thing SOME russian-orthodox, like ROCOR, believe -rather than an universal thing every ordobox (old calendar, greek, serbian, hungarian etc) actually believe ,and practice in liturgy?
