    I was afraid of the dogs while on field service. The very first house I went to had three large angry dogs. I started to refuse to do houses with beware of dog signs or evidence of a dog and was told that I lacked faith in jehovah! I was petrified and every time I had to go out on service became a traumatic event, I would shake and perspire I just hated it. The only encouragement I would receive was to "pray more and to have more faith and to remember the angels were with us". Yeah right, didnt stop the dogs biting!!!

    I'm not afraid of too much. Although, I do have fear of heights, not if it's enclosed as in an elevator, but more exposed, as on a high ladder.

    I occasionally frighten myself, but other than that, not much!

    Downunderandout, isn't it amazing that you were told you lacked faith in Jehovah because you were afraid of dogs? Unreal, yet, of course, not surprising at all.

    I still fear things - fear of rejection, fear of flying, fear, believe it or not, of getting into financial trouble, fear of war and terrorism. And though I am working hard on alleviating this one, I still fear death.

    For years I used to have nightmares of being stalked and murdered by Jack the Ripper, but that probably had more to do with my childhood. Now all I'm really afraid of is something happening to my children. I couldn't bear that.

    I suppose I should be afraid of being killed by God at Armageddon; at least my father and sisters say I should. But I'm not. I would not want to live in a world where people like them are held up as paragons of virtue and the epitome of righteousness.
