heavenized

[Jonathan Lighter]

A second sense:

"Be specific (pizza,. hang-gliding, snow skiing, computers, etc.) Then try to
imagine what the enhanced, #147;heavenized#148; version of those joys will be like." --www.adventist.org.za/Departments/ youth_files/2002%20Starter%20Kit.ppt

And as for the meaning first reported :

"This also explains why dying is not called dying by them but being heavenized." --
www.heavenlydoctrines.com/reading/index.php?psID=8842

Undoubtedly better than "infernalized" (a few dozen hits).

SOTA ?

A new one on me; OED has a single 1656 cite, but the sense is somewhat =
different.

"J. C. Warden, 74, of Toney was heavenized Friday."
