do you fear death?if so,do you fear it because of the pain that is likely to go along with it?or because of what will become of your soul(your self)after death?.
curiosly,i find that i no longer fear death.not that i want to die-i don't.but i wonder if this how i should feel.. i don't like pain,but i have a fairly high threshold of pain,i think.i'm sure there is much greater pain than what i have experienced,but though i avoid it when at all possible(including spankings...sorry chat babes),i'm not afraid that i can't deal with it if i have to.. likewise death,i just have no great fear of it anymore.i don't think that it's due to my beliefs about what will happen after i die...i don't have any.sure,i was raised a j.w.,instilled from birth with the idea that if i didn't survive armageddon,that i'd be resurrected thereafter.but i don't buy that anymore...neccesarily.nor do i believe in the heaven or hell concept...neccesarily.i do believe that if i'm the best kind of person i can be,then it will have to be good enough for whatever,if anything,lies beyond the life i'm living now.. in talking to others,though,i find very few(if any)people who don't have a pretty high degree of fear about death.it has me wondering,and i'd appreciate your comments.. cowboy.
I am rather like you. I do not fear death in the least. Yes, the pain of death, but I know that with modern medications even that can be more or less erased.
I also do not have any belief in heaven or hell. I believe this is it; life is not a rehearsal for the real thing.
If you are feeling depressed Cowboy, and some of these thoughts are worrying you, please go to your GP. Don't want a depressed Cowboy on board.
Forget UncBruce and his post. You are one "cool dude". After reading all about Unc, *ughhhhh* even the most desperate case on the forum would not be interested.
I am so happy I laid my claim to you mio amore` before Unc made his distasteful post.
Great post!! You really proved a point there. You're also crackin' me up big time
1975 was a year I shook through YK. I will never, ever forget it. The same as may others here. It affected our lives. Admitt it...for once, just once admitt the WTBTS made a big mistake.

"u are a idiot as u no from the bible jehovah does not care how big the organization from isreal to the early christians they were always the gross minority do i sense bitter jealousy?
