Yeah, I only took supplements at 50 but, by 62 I am a walking pharmacist…
I don’t want to live past 73.

You're like that guy in the Biden admin who thought everyone should die at 75 years old.

No idea. Once my quality of life has dwindled to a certain point, I'm in excruciating pain that will never improve, or I'm a permanent burden to others, I'm going to a state where medical assistance in death is legal and checking out.

not to be morbid but this is my plan as well should it come to that. I do question how life insurance policies account for this though?

Two of my kids are grown and on their own and the youngest will be by that time. I lost my wife to cancer in March, so once my term policies are up, there will be no need to renew them. That's another driver of my decision. I took care of her during her hospice and I'm not going out like that. It was horrible for both of us.

This doesn’t apply to most people thankfully, but if someone perceives themselves to be suffering to that extent, then no doctor or lawyer should tell you what you can or can not do. Luckily most of us live in red states and it’s as cheap as a shotgun.

? I thought you can't get there till the Rapture? Which may be thousands of years from now. What; s the rush to hurry up and wait for a near eternity?


Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.””
??Luke? ?23?:?43? ?
As soon as we die, those of us who have repented of our sins and confessed with our mouth that Jesus Christ is lord and believe in our heart God rose him from the dead 3 days later, as soon as you die you will be in heaven. I believe what you are thinking of is after the rapture Jesus will come from heaven to meet all the believes and then we will get our new heavenly body.
“in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.”
??1 Corinthians? ?15?:?52?




Wait, so you're saying Revelations is all bullshite? Well then what else in the Bible is bullshite you don;t have to believe?

1. There’s no “s” in Revelation.
2. Hardly any of it is to be taken literally.

I think this too.

Your body will eventually give out and break down. People will have to completely take care of you. Age isn’t just a number but an actual thing.
