What is your worst fear?

  My worst fear,

  I would have to agree that if I lost my children, I would die. Another nightmare of mine is for my JW family to wait until my children are old enough to defy me and indoctrinate them into their faith. If I saw my children die as a result of their blood doctrine I would probably have to be institutionalized. I know I couldnt handle it

  God, even writing that down makes me ill.

  I am teaching my children about manipulation, religion and mind control while they are young. Im explaining to them how my family and many others believe they have the truth, but they are confused by a society of men and it can hurt or kill them, like it did to their great grandfather.

  Its seriously scary stuff, thats for sure.

  "It's just the right thing to do."

  You are right Scully, grieving for the dead is one of the things that marks us as human and we have the right to expect that our loved ones will react in the appropriate manner . Perhaps the key word is "Loved" because if they dont care enough to remember, than they do not love.

  Personally , I accept that perhaps just one person would really care if I died . Since I stopped serving the Borg, then they have no concern. Other people around here are just associates and my death would be quickly forgotton. But if just one person cares , then that is that is something to cherish .

  And as for you , we would miss you greatly, don't plan on going anywhere for a long time!

  Sorry you have been having a bad time lately, Scully. Life really sucks sometimes, doesn't it?

  My worst fear is echoed by others here. I think if my kids were to die before I, they would have to put me away somewhere. I know I just wouldn't be able to cope.

  (((((((Scully))))))),

  Sorry for your loss and realization about the callousness of people sometimes.

  I have 2 worst fears:

  1) Losing a family member such as grown kid or a grandkid.

  2) Getting a painful terminal disease or Alzheimers

  I have decided, after reading Final Exit that self-euthansia is a comforting option the same as one would do for a suffering animal.

  On a cheerier note, I hope everyone has a swell Sunday! I am meeting, as 7of 9 called him, "The Coffee Dude" and we're going for a

  my worse fear is dying before being able to look my first son or daughter in the eyes.

  I look forward to the day when we will have children SO much, and I'm confident our child/children will be beautiful, wonderful kids. It would crush my g/f so much if I were to pass before any of that could become reality.

  We're both very anxious, but we need to wait until we establish ourselves firmly, secularly and educationally. (sp?)

  That someday I won't wake up dead. Think about that a minute.

  My worst fear is that I'll die alone. I can't have children now since I had the cancer, and I have no nieces or nephews to come see me when I'm old. My only thought is that I would like to marry someone who already has children, where I could be a good step-mom to them.
