This experience contains significant theological problems despite some biblical elements. While it begins with hearing "Jesus" as "THE WORD" (John 1:1), it diverges into problematic territory. The claim that death and afterlife destination are personal choices based on self-forgiveness contradicts biblical teaching about God's sovereignty and salvation through faith. The assertion of being "everything of creation" suggests inappropriate divine status. References to beings attempting human sacrifice and showing worship to the experiencer are deeply concerning. The vision of religions falling could align with biblical prophecy, but the overall framework of self-determination in salvation is fundamentally unbiblical.
On October 29, 1983, Janet B was deliberately poisoned with twice a lethal dose by someone she had rejected before a Halloween party. Upon dying, she heard the word "Jesus" from inside herself, experiencing it as "THE WORD" flowing through her. She became aware of the "Pureness of Life" and all Goodness. She was taken through time witnessing the collapse of Heavens, Universes, religions, and governments turning to ashes. She saw all of creation as a giant red blob wandering aimlessly, lifeless and looking for sustenance. From above Earth, she observed that despite all technology, no one could see her. She encountered beings who exclaimed "Juanita's back! We thought we sacrificed her!" and fell back in horror. She briefly entered heaven, her eternal home, seeing a round pillar covered in hieroglyphic-like writing that was actually eternal truth. Two eternal beings stood beside her and showed respect when she appeared as the knowledge of all goodness. She was told her mission was incomplete and had to return. The experience left her with the understanding that death is a choice based on self-forgiveness and that we judge ourselves.

--- Biblical Summary ---
Biblical elements: The experience prominently features hearing "Jesus" as "THE WORD," directly referencing John 1:1. The vision of false religions and governments falling to ashes aligns with biblical prophecy about false systems being destroyed. The concept of self-judgment through inability to forgive oneself has some biblical parallel in the need for repentance and acceptance of forgiveness.

Unbiblical elements: The notion that "what happens when you die is your choice" contradicts biblical teaching about God's sovereignty in judgment. The idea that heaven access depends on self-forgiveness rather than faith in Christ is problematic. The suggestion of being "everything of creation" implies a divine status incompatible with biblical human nature. References to possible human sacrifice and the speaker being worshipped are concerning.
