I wasn't clear; the pain we (the living) feel after a person dies. JWs believe that after death we simply cease to exist until after the end of the world when God will call back 144,000 people out of his memory to live again. Given how many billions and billions of people have existed, those are not odds I'd want to take to Vegas.
As far as they're concerned, you're allowed to think for yourself, they just want you to be stupid enough to come around to their way of thinking. And they DO have one of the most fantastically stupid theologies I've ever heard of, short of the Mormons and Scientologists. (Once space aliens get involved, it's Game Over.)
