I don't want to die.

    About 5 years ago I had the same problem that you are

    now feeling. For 90% of my life I thought that I would never

    get old and die. Once you realize that this life is all that you have

    you will begin to appreciate every day as a gift. Life is not always

    tied up in a pretty bow, but it is still a gift. I am growing

    old and I am thankful because it beats the alternative of

    dying young. Being raised as a JW has been a real blow

    to who I am and what I could have been. Yes life is not

    fair but it is still good. Please make peace with your

    past so it will not screw up your present.

    "Everything dies. Even planets and stars."

    Of course a common JW response would be that the original sin "spread" to the planets and stars, as it did for the animals and plants. I'm sure.
