Death and Dying

[Jackson]

Here's another thought. God is SO loving and merciful that he may give so another turn for Salvation. I'm talking of reincarnation and another chance for living with Christ.

Do we know for sure?

 

[skye]

yes

 

[JakeStarkey]

Nope.

 

[skye]

yes

 

[JakeStarkey]

Joan of Arc thought so, too. Go in peace.

That's why these advanced directives are so helpful. When someone is unconscious or has otherwise "lost their minds" we are not capable of knowing for sure.

skye, you are not God's mouthpiece.

Please.

All believers are God's mouthpiece.

Who are you talking to?

I wanted to discuss conscious dying, and making the choice to stop eating and drinking.

(If this is too personal, just slide on by...) Do you know someone that is contemplating this?

I just got back from a lecture on Death and Dying. So I guess I could say I'm contemplating advanced directives and how to make life easy for my family when it's time.

this is a good tool to use

Suicide is not allowed.

Better live your life ...pay...suffer... suffer cry .....and then go to ...

Heaven

wherever

but killing yourself is not allowed

According to YOUR beliefs.

do as you please


Eternity is an awful long time

I would never take my own life...I never asked to live in this life....why should I take that life ?????


no


there is a bigger Power behind all this

whatever

Eternity?

Everything in the universe is impermanent.

[skye]

Choosing not to eat or drink isn't suicide

Patients often know what they can or can't handle, and they will drink if they can handle it. Patients who are ready to die and whose systems are shutting down, will naturally curb the food and fluids that they take in.

Suicide is not a sin, Skye.

Only imperfect men and women think so.

If they are on the last

hours

ok

but if they have a whole life to live in front of them

well.....no....I think

You have missed quite a few posts. We are talking about people in a coma, persistent permanent vegetative state, advanced Dementia, and other end stage diagnoses.

suicide will bring you more pain and sorrow and nightmares

than when you were alive


take my word!

 

[skye]

wait for your life to end...the natural way


that's all
