What if you admitted you don't mind being destroyed @ Armaggedon? (page 2)

I'm pretty level-headed (aka not crazy or suicidal) and I've thrown out the comment that I wouldn't want to live forever. The looks on my families faces were pretty priceless - as if the idea had never occured to them, or that it is so absurd. "Of course, you want to live forever, everyone does." They assume it's such a give-in.

I've told this to my family, to their bemusement. If death is only eternal sleep, the thought never really bothered me.

I don't mind Brinjin's "dirt nap" so much.

(first heard of the phrase from her)

I did say that to my mom. I told her I don't believe that any Armageddon will ever come, but on the off chance that it does and I'm killed, I am ok with that. I am at peace with it. I refuse to have that fear hanging over my head anymore. I don't remember her freaking out too much about; she may have still been stunned that I told her I no longer believed in god.

another interesting thing to do is tell an emergency room dr after you've refused treatment that you are not afraid to die. it will blow their head off because telling you that you could die is their best attempt at getting you to stay and put up with their less than stellar care. too many people and institutions profit from fear of death.

I can remember when it first dawned on me that I would rather live a short life of my own choosing that live forever surrounded by the unloving, judgmental, unchristian jws. Better only 40 more years than eternity with them.

I did share that awareness with the elders after they were convinced and admitted I had been treated cruelly by their number.

I envisioned life after Armaggeddon to be like the following"

I had an active JW tell me she does not want to live forever, it would be terrible. I was shocked when she started shunning me once I was disfellowshipped.

Broken Promises

In fact, one of the first things I came to grips with was my fear of being destroyed. It made my exit almost effortless.

So true.

When I was in the middle of my fade, I had a debate with an elder's wife.

"But, aren't you scared of dying at Armageddon???".

Me: "No, I trust God to be able to read my heart. I'm not scared."

I don't believe in God anymore anyway, but as others have said, if he's gonna kill me over trying to live my life the best I can with what I've got, then what kind of God is he then?

I had a friend who while DF asked me where i stood (i was DF too) regarding the JWs

i told her that i believed the religion was true and that god would kill me at armageddon and i was just fine with that!

she is now back in, so no more contact anymore.

suffice to say that i no longer believe any of it...

but in the off chance i am wrong and he wipes me out, so be it.
