As a jw I always found it difficult not to accept the fact that our lives weren't mapped out for us. I believe people we meet in life and things that happen to us are for a reason. I feel our life and death has been planned already. What are your thoughts?

No... I don't believe in either. I do believe in coincidences though!
If everyone's deaths were planned (presumably by God?) then is God responsible for atrocities like 9/11? Predestination in my opinion places all the blame on God. That would be one sick God.
Do you believe in fate or predestination?
No ... maybe we are affected by some kind of vibrations ... but I don't know ... I don't believe in fate nor predestination (most logical consequences and pur hazard with maybe a bit of vibrations ... here I stand for now)
Good point dr. Thanks! Makes a lot of sense. What about finding a soul-mate?

I think there are probably millions of possible soul-mates out there. I don't believe there is only one on the entire planet... no one would ever find someone they consider a soul-mate!
I believe I'm going to die when I die,no matter at what time I'm in with this life.I will die at the rightly so time.
When I was born,I'll die at 86,I'm 33 and I'll still die at 86.

Than I must be one lucky lady because I have mine.

Fate, predestination and soulmates are all hooey! Your life is what you make it and if you believe otherwise I feel sorry for you. If I thought my life was all predetermined why would I bother doing anything? I'd be just as well off sitting on my butt and doing nothing all day cause, this is what's supposed to happen. Soulmates, no way? I connect with many people on many levels. Perhaps if they and I were at differant points in our lives or other circumstances things would happen but, I am happy to have them as friends! At some point I hope to find someone simpatico with me but I don't worry about it.

I belive in neither fate nor predestination -- life is what we make it - time and unforeseen occurence befall us all
