  Does anyone else have a morbid obsession?

  by bulgogiboy in

  i have to admit to having developed a very strong obsession with my own mortality in recent years, since breaking free from jw doctrine.

  i think about death a lot, and if i really sit and think about it hard, i can freak myself out big time!

  i dont want to think about it, and outwardly its not apparent to other people, but it is something that seems to pervade my thinking, something that haunts me.. perhaps i should be excited, because i realise that on the whole what i came to believe as a jw was fabricated, and maybe there is an amazing afterlife to experience, but at the same time i do tend to agree with jws about death being the end, i just dont agree with the whole resurrection claim they add on to it.. i have known two people who were temporarily 'dead' on the operating table, one of whom was dead for several minutes(one of these people is a friend who shrugs it off like it was nothing!).

  F-

  That doesn't console me for some odd reason. Are you saying I should only obsess about someone(thing) that will requite my obsession?

  CRR-

  I believe you have a misunderstanding of logical fallacies. If I had said YOU were a retard, then you could validly say that I was using an ad hominem attack. Do you see the difference? My understanding is that I can't be guilty of using logical fallacies on someone that I am not arguing with. I called HER a retard.

  If I recall, you suffer from some type of (developmental) disability, so I can understand why you are upset. Sarah Palin isn't very smart. I'd challenge he to an I.Q. contest any day.

  CRR-

  try debating with a "brotha" the bus

  Your obvious disdain for Blacks is probably why Blacks in your company get offended by you and accuse you of trying to act like you are better than them (which you apparently think you are). I can't change your thinking on it. I think if you want to reinforce your negative thinking that you should continue talking to "brothas" on busses. In fact, talk to some homeless drug addicts, too. If you are basing your whole perception of Black people solely on a specific subset of Blacks, then there is nothing I can really say to that.

  Affirmative action and watered down meaningless social science and art degrees.

  First of all, I bet business, education and nursing are ranked pretty high when it comes to popular degree tracks for Black women but I don't have the statistics right in from of me, nor do I think it matters. Black women are now making more than White women and are far outpacing Black men in college enrollment. Why are you choosing to downplay that? Second, most people who apply for college get in without a need for affirmative action. I certainly didn't. Also, as a Black woman about to finish her Master's I find your comments insulting and unfair. I work in a Courthouse with many Black female attorneys and my classes are full of Black women.

  If I tell my Black friends that I enjoy surfing over basketball, they may think that is White behavior, but that's because surfing tends to be an activity enjoyed by White people. If a White guy told his surfer friends that he wanted to be a rapper, they'd probably say he is acting Black. Big deal! That wouldn't lead me to believe that Blacks, in general, find critically thinking to be a White activity.
