Old saying:

"I'd like to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle, not screaming in terror, like his passengers."

Seriously,

I'd like to be martyred anonymously.

[quote name='1337 k4th0l1x0r' date='Oct 7 2004, 10:43 AM'] Drowned, but in a vat of Guinness.
[/quote]
Reminds me of a joke.

Mary's husband Tom worked down at Guinness Brewery in Dublin (Humour me here). One day, Mary hears a knock at the door, and opens to find Constable Patrick standing there.

"Constable Patrick. To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Mary, 'tis a dark day for your home, I fear."
"Whatever is wrong? 'Tis my Tom alright?"
"I'm afraid there's been a terrible accident at the brewery."
"Saints Preserve Us! Is Tom hurt?"
"I'm sorry to say your Tom has died, drowned in a vat of Guiness."
"Oh, no! Please, Patrick, at least tell me that he didn't suffer long."
"I wish I could, Mary, but the truth of it is, he got out three times to go pee."


Badump-bump.

I'd rather have someone shoot me in the head or something. Although, there'll be more cleanup... maybe they could bonk me on the head and toss me into the ocean or something. Or throw me off a mountain! Man, that'd be the best! You'd get that big'ol adrenaline rush before going to Heaven.

I would prefer all the above...

St. Teresa of Lisuex (sp?) suffered for many many years with doubt...it was not voluntary doubt, so it did not lead to despair. But I think this kind of suffering would be worst, because you would constantly sub-conciously be questioning if there was God. It would be an internal suffering, one of the mind. One that endure's at all time's...it know's no rest. Not only suffering of the Body, but of the soul.

Totus Tuus,

Andy

I'm also up for whatever way God chooses. I would most certainly go through what Christ went through if it was needed with me. I tell God all the time that if He wants to give me stigmata, I'd take it for Him. If He wants to let the devil beat me up like he did St. John Vianny, I'd do it. I would go anywhere and do anything for Christ.

i think we all would like to die peacefully, but i would allow any of these ways to be the way i died, if it was in this case, i wouldnt mind as long as i was at peace with myself and others
