self preservation is the biggest instinct of man and proves all these believers are full of crap. Except for the martyrs in the muslim religion nobody believes in heaven like they say they do!

if you kill your self you have just committed murder and are now dead therefore you can not repent.
and we are also given a love for others and want to see everyone saved too and can not do this dead either.

You don't look for ways to die, but you do not fear it either. Part of the problem with Christians fearing death is because they have no reference point, while alive, in understanding what happens later. Simply put, there is nothing on Earth to give them a good example of what to expect.
For JWs it is different. Since they look forward to the promise of a paradise earth, they can visualize what life will be like every day.
They see it in the majestic beauty of the Serra Mountains. They see it in the cool breezes of the Hawaiian plains. They feel it in the warmth of spring night on the Mojave Desert. They see it in the wonders of the Northern Lights.
They hear it in the laughter of an innocent child, or an adult acting like a child. They hear it in listing to a perfect symphony, or a Cajun band. They hear in the sound of a Blue Bird serenading its mate, or the soft even breathing of your spouse sleeping beside you.
They can also get a taste of what it will be like, to have the full use of your mental capabilities, when you see the works of Hawking, Einstein, and de Vinci.
There are millions of examples, every day, of what life will be like on a Paradise Earth, for those who believe that humans were designed to live on Earth, not in Heaven. Heaven was meant for the Angels. There will be those who go to Heaven, as the Bride of Christ, and to act as Overseers over those living on Earth, but only for 1000 years, or just one day, in the perception of time for spirit beings. The Bible doesn't say what happens to them, or the ones who are raised in the second resurrection, after the 1000 years is up. Perhaps they are sent out to inhabit other planets in the Universe.
So it is simple to not fear death, as they see every day what life could be like when they come back.

good question! this is a long answer 2 u , but plz hear me out. i believe that god sent us here cuz we wanted 2 b like him. god sent us here so we could learn how 2 b better ppl. god didnt send us here 4 us 2 destroy the greatest gift he can give us. in other words, he doesnt want us 2 commit suicide. think of it this way. if u had a close friend and gave them something special, and they broke it purposly 2 c if something good would happen 2 them, how would u feel? would u give them another 1, or not? now think of it this way. if god loves us all so much and gives u a gift so great that nothing compares 2 it, do u expect god will let u live in heaven with him if u destroy his gift 2 u? i hope this explains 2 u y we dont kill ourselves 2 go 2 heaven. god wont let us in if we destroy every thing he gives us. if u hurt his gift 2 u, he will think u dont want 2 live with him. after all god does 4 us, we always feel like he only wants 2 hurt us, and he doesnt. god loves us all, and gave us every thing. we shouldnt turn our backs on him by destroying this wonderful life.

Bub, yer off the wall with this one. Yes we want to be in Heaven in Gods presents, but we also must do Gods work while here. Paul said that he was between two decisions, one was to go Home to The LORD, or the other to remain and continue to Minister to the Churches. Also, Islam's jehadists are not martyrs, they are murderers !

on the time of death, the soul and spirit bypass away the physique. The physique is placed into the grave. on the topic of believers, the physique is defined as snoozing, Acts 7:fifty 9, 60; 8:2, on a similar time as the unsaved guy or woman's physique is spoken of as ineffective. The soul and spirit in no way sleep. If the guy who died became stored, the soul and the spirit bypass to a place of exhilaration and happiness – heaven. II Corinthians 5:8; Phil. a million:21- 23. If the guy became unsaved, the spirit and soul bypass to a place of sorrow and punishment - hell. In Luke sixteen:19-31, our Lord for sure teaches that people who've died are unsleeping.

All the followers of Blind Faiths, talk about believing in somethings but act otherwise. Yes for sure, if the heaven is so great, they should depart towards it as soon as possible.

We don't come to earth just so we can kill ourselves. Our purpose is to "learn" in this life so we can take back to afterlife. :-) Life on earth is another "spiritual experience" and we must enjoy what we do here instead of simply whining and wishing others dead. Learn to enjoy your life, J.S.
People often think that one of our greatest challenges in life is to "follow the crowd", live among hate, hate others, make fools of oneself, make loads of money, and enjoying all the evils the world has to offer.
All that may be true for some, but for those who really believe, know in their own hearts that the biggest challenge we face today, is "Living the Love Of God". To display Love among hatred is one of the biggest hurdles anyone can overcome. Our purpose is to learn to live it. Take care, :-) Have an awesome day, hugs xoxo :x

Ways to die and go faster? We know that we are here for reasons, the whole thing is about God and not us. He has us here to do certain things, and as much as we look forward to heaven, the timing is His to decide and not ours. We learn this too by knowing Him.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jesus is the only way to heaven, and in His perfect time and how He decides we are to die. He is in control. Suicide will take you straight to hell.
