What Are You Afraid Of?

[Rudometkin]

Nope, no dolls for me. No, thank you. If I see a doll then I'll turn it around where it's not facing me. I don't like being around them.

By turning it around, you are just giving it an opportunity to turn back...

I did not need to hear that.

Ikr? Are they trying to give us nightmares or something?

Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl.

Agreed lol

But they were pleasant-looking, not scary.

THESE are the first female & male heads in my collection. ;)

Well believe it or not I slightly got over my fear of snakes today. I found a baby one dead on the sidewalk when I was taking a walk and I sort of felt bad for it since I thought it was cute a teensy bit and I really didn't want it being trampled upon. So I gently poked it with a stick a few times and made sure it was dead before moving it onto the grass. There's absolutely no doubt in my mind though if it started moving it was going to turn into one of those reality TV shows where I would have dropped it and hightailed out of there and a few beeps might have come out of my mouth. XD (And that was just a tiny one.)

Okay I must admit that that's actually cute.

Don't take its advice about fruit, though...!

True lol very true.

I feel very uneasy around clowns, dolls, and ventriloquist dummies. I'm afraid of heights, snakes, and especially spiders.

Me...

I found this picture online and I told my family that this could have been me and they all agreed.

Love it! I'm a kiwi living in Australia. In NZ there are no snakes. Very few threatening spiders. And no predatory animals. While here in Oz nothing freaks me out, I am wary that there are things lurking in the bush... Behind the door... Under the couch... In the cupboard... Under the sink... In the toilet bowl... And in my bed that would delight in having me added to their daily diet.

My biggest fear since childhood was eternal life. The thought of no end was overwhelming.

Upon hearing the Gospel, my biggest fear was eternal suffering. Now I rest in the Lord Jesus.

The thought of having eternal life is still overwhelming for me, but I figure that is just due to a mixture of my rebellion and ignorance.

@Rudometkin The Lord Jesus as Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, the first and the last (Revelation 1) is a comforting and inspiring thought also... :)

Do you mean eternal bodily life?

 

[Rudometkin]

Eternal consciousness.

Along similar lines, I find God's eternal pre-existense to be mind-blowing.
Around 6K years ago, He made our universe.
What did He do before that?
And before that?
And before that?
And before that?
And before that...?

 

[April_Rose]

Eternal consciousness.

Even if it's with Jesus?

I could not think of a more easing truth than that one for that subject, Farouk.

Even if it's with Jesus?

Great question. No, Jesus is my comfort. I can only become negatively overwhelmed in a subject if I cease from focusing on Him. I think that this applies to all of us here.
