@Crazywaterspring my father got prostate cancer (his father died from prostate cancer and his mother died from breast cancer) and the doctor wanted to do surgery right away. He told him he had some business to take care of first, went to Arizona to a medicine woman and got treated with herbs and came back and had his pre-op tests done and there was no sign of cancer. I think he stayed out in Arizona a couple weeks.

@cherokeepatti Medical reasons are a big part why I'm retiring in SE Asia. I would be eligible for their national healthcare and their doctors, nurses and hospitals are quite competent. Governor Abbott tort refomed things so a patient or their family can't sue for malpractice.

@Crazywaterspring
^Bingo!^

Good choice, I've chosen Panama myself.

@smiler2012 Yea, I thought you were that kind of guy 😆

@Nimbus what a dandy nimby dressed in my best lverpool shirt 😆

@smiler2012 Try that outside Old Trafford and see what happens :)

@Thevy29
This is exactly what happens.

@Thevy29 That's why you never wear any jewelry to the hospital. Some jackal will help themselves even if the patient is asleep.

@SW-User I feel the same. I never have been able to put it so simply tho. My version is 11/2 hours of " Just like ...". LOL

@saragoodtimes he's probably the guy washing his toilet brush in the dishwasher with his toothbrush!

@saragoodtimes does not get any better if he was gone.

@Darkskiescoming no, she'd be worse than he is. can you imagine her standing there with that stupid laugh if we were under attack

@saragoodtimes I can't, she would laugh us into oblivion.

@FreestyleArt I agree, except for the part that we don’t remember our time on earth. I believe we do.

@SW-User Yes indeed.. Remembering our former lives will be essential because we shall be judged upon what happened in our lives..

@walabby Don't worry 😏

@SW-User

@SW-User I wonder what happened to the poor people that lived in... say, Central/South Africa or the Pacific Islands in the years BC ???

@walabby I'm not sure, I've wondered myself. But the Bible does give us hints, and we do know that the Lord is fair and just. Keep in mind that we all deserve justice, ... but the Lord didn't offer mercy to all.
Still, though I'm no theologian, I believe that all face a moment... even if it's between world's, when they get a chance to have their sins paid for.

@Dlrannie We ALL are, if we so choose.

@Tastyfrzz What things?

@walabby it's written down in my first post on here.

@Tastyfrzz 👍

@SW-User Even Mozart and Beethoven???

@walabby unfortunately yes😢

@sally1981 Dust in the wind

@helenS Interesting subject?

@jackson55 Oh yes!

@jackson55 I believe that our personal identity will disappear when we die, and our souls will go back to a huge soul pool, like raindrops which pour into our lake. The substance of the raindrop is still there, but its identity is not.
(I live by a lake, as you know, and the lake has a lot of influence on me, spiritually...)

@Dainbramadge your answer could be fact though no one really knows so can't say that it is incorrect

@Dainbramadge The people who believe that are going to be VERY surprised when their bodies die, which is the ONLY thing that dies.

@PhoenixPhail Not trying to be argumentative, especially on this topic beings as it can be very sensitive to a lot of people.
I have hallucinated from lack of oxygen to the brain and it was very, very vivid. The only reason I knew it was a hallucination was because of the events that followed and recovering from the event my brain returned to normal function.
This was one of the events from my life that cause me to believe what I do about the here after.
Think about it. Your brain is you. It is every feeling you have and every thought you think. So with that minimized version of what I am trying to convey in mind, what would it take to cause someone to believe in dragons? Just an example.
With our understanding of the real world we know that there are no nor ever have been any dragons on this planet. No proof. But there are books about them. There are even people that believe they actually were real and they have even found a fossil that resembles a dragon. But what if say a person, non-believer, was to be involved in an automobile accident and they suffered a closed head injury. A closed head injury is damage to the brain caused from the brain rushing forward, inside the skull, and pushing the protective layer of fluid away and the brain makes contact with the skull.
Now remember the brain is everything you think.
Now the brain is damaged and isn't working right. So who is to say that they are going to be able to discern from what is reality and what is just a reaction to the damage.
Just like LSD can alter perception so can brain damage.
So in this state the person has a vivid memory of the accident site and them laying on the ground dying and they see a dragon fly over the seen. Circling as tho it were interested in the event, then flying off.
Now hallucinations are a common occurrence in people with brain damage. So how do they know that it didn't really happen??? There brain says it did. No one else there was looking up to see or not to see it. So this person could choose to believe that they actually saw a dragon or that it was a vivid result of their brain damage.

After reading this i should just delete it. I won't because i worked hard on it, but, I should because I am in no way attempting to breach anyone's faith.
This is just my reasoning to what I wrote earlier.
