If You Had One Year To Live ????

YYHWH

If you found out you had only one year of life left to live do you think your thoughts and views on the Dubs would change ?

I was personally brainwashed from an early age and have only been out about six years and still have some things in my head that are hard to shake.

When I think about death it is always something that I imagine will happen years from now (hopefully) however if I knew it was right around the corner I might possibly be prone to re-thinking my thoughts on God and relgion in general. I now think as myself as a Deist.

Any thoughts on this matter?

If I found out I only had a year left, i would not go back to JW. I dont really think it matters once we die ,what happens , we either go to heaven or not. I dont beleive in hellfire. I was very perplexed at this issue when I left the borg. It burnt my ass not to know where I go when I die, not so much for myself ,but what would I tell my kids.
I always had the resurrection idea to tell, them, that we would be together on paradise earth forever. Now I just dont know, what to beleive , I am still searching for that answer. I have come to the conclusion I may never know. That is hard for ex jw's because we thought as jw's we had all the answers. I just would like to be able to leave my kids with some kind of hope of being together again. But one thing I would do is start a journal to leave for my kids, that way when I am gone they can read my thoughts and even thou I would be gone , they could still learn about me. In fact , I plan on starting a new one, a new journal, . Because who knows how long we will be here .

If I had a year to live,I'd marry an ugly woman,move to New Mexico,and buy a Dodge truck...Wouldn't make me live any longer,but it'd make that year last forever.

Sorry,just couldn't resist...The answer is no,it wouldn't change my beliefs a bit.I think this life is all we will know,but if not whatever happens after this one will happen not be because of my religous affiliation,but because of the life I lived,and what's in my heart.

Nuff Said,

LOL@Cowboy.

I don't want someone in my life I can live with. I want someone in my life I can't live without.
