I think of him often. I know this coronavirus would have been hard on him. He left the 2x2 and spent most of the years after the work speaking against the 2x2. So do you think he is in: A. Heaven B. Hell C. None of the above I would think most 2x2 would pick B. I go with C. |

I go with C. he's only been gone 2 months, its a little early to be staring a flame thread.... Just looking for opinions. That’s all. I thought that was the end game with religion, & not a taboo subject. I never read there was a long line in a waiting room before you are sent to A or B? |

It's not the place of any of us to judge the outcome of someone's eternal salvation, especially when the death has been so recent. This is not funny and very insensitive. There are many people on here that are anonymous and read these posts, that could be close family and friends, and still grieving. Not cool. |

He left the 2x2 and spent most of the years after the work speaking against the 2x2. So do you think he is in: A. Heaven B. Hell C. None of the above I would think most 2x2 would pick B. I go with C. Thanks for your opinion. This is my reaction to your ideas. - “DJ” - First, anyone who followed DJ on this board like I have for many decades, would be certain that DJ was always very sincere in his belief that Jesus was his savior, and that he was doing everything he knew to go to heaven when he died. He very vigorously defended his beliefs when others questioned him. I can’t remember anytime when DJ expressed even one doubt about what he believed. He never thought your destination in death was a taboo subject. Heaven and hell are constant topics with preachers. As a 2x2 preacher the main concern of his life was about where people go after they die. This continued after he left the work and the 2x2. I am not questioning what DJ believed, my question was what do you believe about his beliefs. I see that question falls into the “taboo category for you. “It’s not the place of any of us to judge the outcome of someone's eternal salvation”. I have been to many funerals when the preacher makes it very clear that so a so are now in heaven. Often they will use the funeral (then just a few day after a death) to tell the unbelievers in the crowd (often direct family members) that they need to also be like so and so or they will go to hell. Now that’s about as low life as you can get, so soon again poking hell at those still grieving. Even if the preacher doesn’t say explicitly, so and so is now in heaven, out of fear most everyone is still thinking; did he go to heaven or did he go to hell, will I go to heaven or will I go to hell.
When I was in the 2x2, when someone died and didn’t profess at the time, I understood they were going to hell. It’s the exclusive doctrine of the 2x2 which causes much angst about death. You can be certain the 2x2 workers believe this, otherwise they would not require someone to be re-baptized when they professed. Now as far as I can tell, since I quit professing there has emerged two camps in the 2x2; exclusive (only 2x2 go to heaven, the rest go to hell) and non-exclusive (other christians can also go to heaven). It’s exactly this 2x2 division which strikes at the nerve when the questions of did he go to heaven or hell is raised. This is at the heart of the 2x2 death taboo. I understood from DJ’s post he was in the non-exclusive camp. Christians spend their entire life concerned about going to heaven or hell, but once they die it’s a taboo subject, really. Such a strange way to behave. The “ We are not to judge especially when the death has been so recent” - this is hypocrisy. If you truly care that someone is gone there is no amount of time when you get over it.
You can’t live you life without judging. Preachers couldn’t preach heaven and hell unless they judged what to do and what not to do. The bible is full of verses of what actions gets you to heaven and what sends you to hell. It also makes no difference what you believe or what another says if someone goes to heaven or hell. The act of choosing is the result of a judgement. The story of the rich man and Lazarus is design to show you the result of poor judgement. The bible says when someone is dead, they know nothing. Some think if anyone says something bad about the dead their spirit will come back to haunt you. These are unfounded superstitions. “ not funny, very insensitive, not cool.” I’m an atheist aka non believer. Here is what I see as “not funny, very insensitive, not cool.” regarding comments made when someone dies. In my case my father died while I professed. During the funeral the preacher talked about how dad is now in heaven and he would want all of his children who have fallen away to be that prodigal son and join their father in heaven. I have heard similar words from workers directed at the children of those who don’t profess. Preying on them at their weakest moment. Christianity, which invented the idea of hell, where people spend their entire lives in fear of hell, and then are made to believe the many in hell will remain eternally tortured is the real “not funny, very insensitive, not cool.” It's this which should be condemned not questioning if an afterlife belief is true. |

It sounds like you're saying that because you sat in 2x2 funerals where someone's fate was decided by the judge and jury on site, that you are entitled to this judgement as well. It sounds like you're saying that because preachers preach judgement of someone's fate, and the Bible speaks of final judgement, it's up to you to make that decision. I don't disagree with you on the heaven and hell statement, and the fear entrenched in psyche, but turning this around to defend your insensitivity is weak. It sounds like you're turning your hurt into self gratification of other people's sorrow. |

It sounds like you're saying that because you sat in 2x2 funerals where someone's fate was decided by the judge and jury on site, that you are entitled to this judgement as well. When any preacher at a funeral says, so and so is now in heaven with god. I say they are just making that up, and have no idea. When any preacher at a funeral says, if you don't do like so and so you will go to hell. I say they are just making that up, and have no idea. I make a judgement about what they say. I don't believe their idea of a final judgement in an after life. It sounds like you're saying that because preachers preach judgement of someone's fate, and the Bible speaks of final judgement, it's up to you to make that decision. Each person needs to decide these things for themselves, and not take a preachers word. Preachers don't have any way of knowing if there is a final judgement, or if heaven or hell exists, or if so and so will go to heaven or hell. I don't believe their idea of a final judgement in an after life so a decision by me that anyone will end up in heaven or hell is farcical. That's why I pick "C". It sounds like you're turning your hurt into self gratification of other people's sorrow. I get no self gratification (the act of pleasing oneself) from other people's sorrow. Where did you get that idea from me? From my "rich man and Lazarus" mention? Here Abraham does seem to get self gratification in seeing the rich man suffer.
The idea of enjoying the suffering of others is a Christian concept (see below). Invective prayer is another example. see Psalms 109. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------AUGUSTINEThey who shall enter into [the] joy [of the Lord] shall know what is going on outside in the outer darkness. The saints knowledge, which shall be great, shall keep them acquainted with the eternal sufferings of the lost.[The City of God, Book 20, Chapter 22, "What is Meant by the Good Going Out to See the Punishment of the Wicked" & Book 22, Chapter 30, "Of the Eternal Felicity of the City of God, and of the Perpetual Sabbath"]TERTULLIANWhat a spectacle when the world and its many products, shall be consumed in one great flame! How vast a spectacle then bursts upon the eye! What there excites my admiration? What my derision? Which sight gives me joy??As I see illustrious monarchs groaning in the lowest darkness, Philosophers as fire consumes them! Poets trembling before the judgment-seat of Christ! I shall hear the tragedians, louder-voiced in their own calamity; view play-actors in the dissolving flame; behold wrestlers, not in their gymnasia, but tossing in the fiery billows. What inquisitor or priest in his munificence will bestow on you the favor of seeing and exulting in such things as these? Yet even now we in a measure have them by faith in the picturings of imagination. [De Spectaculis, Chapter XXX]THOMAS AQUINASIn order that the happiness of the saints may be more delightful to them and that they may render more copious thanks to God for it, they are allowed to see perfectly the sufferings of the damned. So that they may be urged the more to praise God. The saints in heaven know distinctly all that happens to the damned. [Summa Theologica, Third Part, Supplement, Question XCIV, "Of the Relations of the Saints Towards the Damned," First Article, "Whether the Blessed in Heaven Will See the Sufferings of the Damned?"]JONATHAN EDWARDSThe sight of hell torments will exalt the happiness of the saints forever. Can the believing father in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in Hell? I tell you, yea! Such will be his sense of justice that it will increase rather than diminish his bliss. ["The Eternity of Hell Torments" (Sermon), April 1739 & Discourses on Various Important Subjects, 1738]They shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment shall ascend up forever and ever. Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.- Revelation 14:9-11; 18:20, 19:3 |

You say you don't believe the idea of a final judgement in an after life. Fine. But that's what you're judging on and asking opinion on. A bit of a contradiction. For an atheist of sorts, you seem to use a lot of Bible references. Just saying! |

Well, xna, we can agree on something! I don't really consider myself an atheist, but I definitely am not a Christian or religious person. As far as that I once professed.... It was not a spiritual choice, it was a survival tactic. |

It was not a spiritual choice, it was a survival tactic. Professing as a survival tactic must be horrible. I professed as a spiritual choice. Being a christian and reading and studying the bible helped make me an atheist. While it was not DJ's intention, he was the one who introduced me to Humanism about 20 years ago. As I followed the arguments, the humanist point of view made the most sense to me. So today I self identify as; humanism & atheist. Theist: a believer in theism : a person who believes in the existence of a god or gods Humanists: Believe that human experience and rational thinking provide the only source of both knowledge and a moral code to live by. Atheist: a person who does NOT believes in the existence of a god or gods |

Atheist: a person who does NOT believes in the existence of a god or gods It was a survival tactic in that I had two options. Live in a professing home frequented by the workers, but remain unprofessing and be constantly judged and preached at, or profess to win the approval of the workers and live the life I was expected to live. If I didn't profess I would be living in a professing world where I didn't belong. And because I lived in that professing world, I didn't belong in the outside world. So to survive.... I like the Humanist idea. |

In brief, the beloved Gospel preached from Mathew spoke to me, as the way things aught to be, the way I wanted to be, and the kind of people I wanted to be, now, and could be forever. I Still feel that way, whether there's an eternity or not. But Christianity has no more lock on that kind of love and care or desire than any other religion. |

I have been a Humanist for many years.

Dennis and I are fourth cousins. I remember his days in the work in the Seattle are in the late 1960s. I last saw Dennis at the TMB picnic at Angle lake park. This was probably something like 15 years ago. Did anybody reading this attend?

This is Brian Jacobsen again, a cousin of Dennis Jacobsen. Dennis passed away on February 18, but because of the coronavirus epidemic, we haven't been able to hold a memorial service. I recently created a Facebook group to share memories and photos about Dennis. You can find it at the link below. If you’re logged into Facebook, you can see all the posts and comments, and you can “like” and share them, but you can’t add anything. To be able to add posts and comments, click on “Join Group.” The family would love for you to do that. The intent of the Facebook group is to enable Dennis' family and friends to share memories of his life. I can post photos and comments for you, with or without your name, if you prefer doing it that way. Feel free to share this information with others. Thank you! www.facebook.com/groups/DennisAJacobsenCelebrationOfLife/ |

Thank you so much for that Brian and for sharing it on TMB. You have made a wonderful tribute to your Uncle. He deserves it, lovely photos of a wonderful Man, who was an inspiration to us all. I had a number of PM's from Dennis that I appreciated very much. He could straighten you out, but it was because you needed it. Gets a like from us. Mr and Mrs Robin Redback, Australia.

In looking back at the messages in this thread, I see I announced the planned May 16 memorial service for Dennis, but I didn't post that the service had to be rescheduled due to the coronavirus pandemic. A couple of other dates have been considered and abandoned since then. It's now looking like it might be held on a Saturday toward the end of August. I will post here once a date has been confirmed. -Brian

After numerous reschedulings due to COVID-19 concerns, Kay has made arrangements for Dennis’ memorial service to be held at Grace Lutheran Church in Longview on Saturday, September 26, at 2:00 pm. The church is following the requirements of the COVID-19 reopening plan of Cowlitz County. The details can be found at the church’s website - www.glclongview.org/. The address of Grace Lutheran Church is 2725 Dover St, Longview, Washington 98632. Since many people won’t be able to attend the memorial service due to distance or because of the current pandemic situation, we are collecting audio and video clips of memories of Dennis to be played at the service. Written memories can also be included. Please contact me if you have memories of Dennis you would like to have included. Also, remember the Facebook group created to share memories and photos about Dennis. You can find it at the link below.

Some edits were made to the obituary that was first released for Dennis. Here's the final version.
>>>>>>>>>>
Dennis A. Jacobsen
Obituary
Dennis Alan Jacobsen went home to be with his Lord Jesus on February 18, 2020 at the age of 76. Last
fall, Dennis was diagnosed with kidney failure. He opted out of treatment and passed away peacefully at
the Hospice Care Center in Longview, Washington.
Dennis was preceded in death by his wife of 38 years, Ylva Olsson Jacobsen, in 2009. They are survived
by their two children, Jennica (and Charles) Gillaspy of Everett, Washington and Jeffry Jacobsen of Kelso,
Washington; and two grandchildren, Meghan and Thomas Gillaspy.
Dennis is survived by his wife of nine years, Kathleen (Kay) Stauffer, her three children and one
grandson: Jason Coker (and Raquel Harper) of Denver, Colorado; Janna Coker of Portland, Oregon; and
Jillian (and Adam) Schneider and their son Kieran of Catskill, New York.
Dennis is also survived by a sister Kathy (and Rick) Balam of Twisp, Washington, a brother Jerold (and
Nancy) Jacobsen of Fairport, New York, numerous nieces and nephews, and an uncle and aunt, Lee and
Lela Jacobsen. Dennis was preceded in death by his parents Derold and Josie Jacobsen, and a sister Joan
Lee. He was also preceded in death by his beloved tiny Chihuahuas that he trained, including Tyke, his
constant companion for many years.
In April 1962 Dennis joined the United States Army and was trained both as a combat medic and in
military intelligence. He served in the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary for more than eight years in
the 1990s, reaching a rank of Vice Flotilla Commander. Dennis was a life member in good standing of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
In 1965 Dennis became an itinerant Christian minister, first in Washington State and then in Sweden. In
1970 he returned home from Sweden. When Dennis and Ylva were married, they settled in the Kelso,
Washington area on the Cowlitz River. After their home was flooded a couple of times, they moved to
higher ground above Castle Rock, Washington into a home with a gorgeous view of the Cascade Range.
Dennis loved to discuss theology. Almost 30 years ago he became involved in email groups and Internet
message boards on which he would discuss theology with people from all around the world.
After the devastating death of Ylva in 2009, Dennis felt very blessed to have Kay come into his life. He
constantly thanked God for the love and care he received from her.
Dennis developed many close, long-lasting friendships with people in numerous countries. He will be
missed by many.
