Sirius,
It is amazing how many former dubs have nightmares and thoughts about the great tribulation. You know when this stopped for me? When I decided that I really didn't have a clue what was going to happen to me after death, or at Armageddon (if there is such a thing that is going to happen). I wanted there to be something after death, but after being in dubland for 36 years and hearing different, and conflicting, everlasting life scenarios from every religion my whole life, I decided nobody else had a clue either. If they did, how could so many different religions read the same book and come up with so many different ideas?
So, in the end, I came to the conclusion that if Jesus and God, Jehovah, whoever, truly reads hearts like the scriptures say, then they can read mine and know that my heart is crushed and I don't know where to go for the truth anymore. I don't trust any religion. Does that deserve a flesh melting death? I don't think so.
