What is your worst fear?

Good question. But if some of them would learn to punctuate their questions with a question mark the masses might be more impressed to hand over everything to those few.

From what I understand (could obviously be wrong,) angels used to have free will but lost it after Lucifer’s rebellion.

Maybe somebody knows if that is accurate?

FMF is probably right. I do not even have kids, but I imagine the second that I have one, that would be my worst fear.

Indeed, I have had anxiety about whether or not I would have a healthy child. I have weird fears that maybe my fiancee and myself could have some congenital disease or condition that would make the situation less than ideal.

Like... I am afraid of heights more than others... and on some personal level the greatest fear that I would ahve would be dangling from a ledge and falling, or being forced to climb a cliff without any rope...

But the likelihood that I would face that is really small.

So, in reality, my largest practical fear would be something like having an unhealthy child and having to deal with that.

My worst fear is going to prison for something that I didn't do, and then having to share a cell with 60 gay guys.

You may say that in jest, but he's one of the reasons I can rarely be bothered to post on the General Forum. 🙂
