I am curious about that Myan 2012 thing, too. But I'm not afraid of anything, just curious. Maybe because I dont' have little ones I don't fear "an end." But we have the grandchildren. I guess I"ve just always had what I'd call an instinctive feeling that things will work out in the end. Even if things get scary or whatever, they'll still work out. And now there were all those doctors and scientists on Larry King Live the other night saying it appears that one's consciousness, what they are calling a soul, is something that lives beyond the death of the body. You can read the transcripts of the show. They didn't go into much detail, though. But I'd like to research that subject more, too. Wouldn't it be something if the scientific community says there is proof that there is something of us that lives on after death. That would put the nail in the coffin for the jw teachings.
