When we were JWs we were told that death is an enemy but if we were faithful to Jehovah, we would be alive always in his eyes. Death wasn't something to be feared. We were only "sleeping".
Do you fear death at this point in your life??

No
I'm fearful of the pangs of death.

I actually have to agree with Snowbird on this one. Once you're dead, we'll find out if there's an afterlife, sleep, or resurrection. It's the getting there that I hope is quick and painless. I've seen both my parents suffer into death. :(

Old age sucks. But I'm not quite there, yet.
I watched and nursed my mother through dementia.
Wasn't pretty.

"Seek not death, but instead seek that which makes death a fulfillment."
Faced it a few times.
Not fearful of it, just not looking for it to happen anytime soon.
Still too much to do.
JWs are consumed NOT with this life but the afterlife. Too bad to live 80 plus years and never feeling fulfilled now!
no, just hope its quick and not too painful
