As a kid I felt that Jehovah would bring his big hand down from the sky and slap the hell out of the ground, and if I was under it then it would be real bad.
The fact is I found it hard to camp outside and enjoy looking at the night sky with all of its stars, fearing the big old hand was going to slap the area around me at that very moment and ruin trees shrubs the fish we had caught our tent my dads truck, and us oh man everthing else too.

Oh geez, that infuriates me that they terrify people like that.
I was terrified of Armageddon as a kid and I wasn't even raised a J-dub!!!! Can't imagine how it would have felt if I was!!

Oh my gosh, i havent thought about this for so long, and when i read your post it brought back some memories.
I had a very active imagination as a kid, i always thought when Armegeddon was gonna come that gods hand would reach down and unzip the earth that we knew, and a whole new clean world would appear under it and everyone that was suppose to survive would jump on, and everyone else would be left on the old world and just dropped away into the universe. I was probably around 6 when i came up with that. Its unbeleivable that a 6 year old would have thoughts like those instead of just a normal 6 year old.
Ok, i was a wacky kid!!! LOL

Now that's dam scary, sounds like a pair of Levis I had in school that had a zipper that was wicked.

I always imagined, first of all, the earth splitting open or something like that, or an asteroid, or bombs dropped right on us, and then everyone standing before God begging not to go to Hell, and seeing all sorts of people lose their lives.....
At about 12 yrs old I got ahold of a book in our house that a man had lent my mom. It was called "a Devine Revelation of Hell" or something like that. I really wish they would have kept it far away from me. I went through a stage after that which lasted about a year long where I had panic attacks about going to Hell after Armageddon.
Concerning this same subject in a way, I remember the time I had sex while being married in the basement of this old building I was working in, after it all happend I ran cause I really did think the cement floor would break open and down I would go.
Oh by the way my ex-wife at the time was having woopie with a MS at the time, so I felt it would be just fine if I give in.

Well, as a kid I never envisioned god's hand coming down...I imagined him controlling everything from far away. What I thought about happening was hoge earthquakes, volcanoes exploding, floods, fires, people wandering around stabbing and shooting other people and some kind of locust/bug infestation for good measure.
Aww twolips--the "great tribulation" left a lot of us with nightmares. I thought for a long time my family would be gassed after we were put in a concentration camp. I don't get the nightmares anymore but wonder why it is I have a strange affection for stupid movies like Red Dawn...
Aww Under74 , It sounds like we grew up about the same time.
On a funny note, I was very worried about smuggeling in tweezes into the concentration camps. I had just started plucking my eyebrows and was horrified that someone might see my unibrow. How silly is that?? lol
tweezers eh? LOL
Well I did worry about where if if they'd have bathrooms in these concentration camps.
