Interesting post. I had a OBE or NDE when I was in highschool. I was giving blood and I passed out and went into convulsions. The nurse broke her fingers because I was shaking so bad. I was woke up with one of them slapping me in the face. Now when I had the incident I appeared in a very spiritual place. The place is hard to describe because I didn't see no substance or beings. I knew I was standing in a area that was the throne room of God. Angels lined the area and before me was God on a throne. Now I didn't see a throne or angels but I could sense entities all around me especially the father. I remember the feeling it was LOVE and pure LOVE. I had a warm fuzzy if You want to call it that. Now at first I felt love then I felt great sorrow because God was upset because my life wasn't up to par. Now when the nurse woke my up I felt like I was being sucked through a drain back into my body. The first thought I had when I woke up was why did You bring me back. I would have to say that it was a lot better up there then down here because this place is a crap hole. Now that didn't affect my life to much at that point but later I did get to know the father.

i say if that is your final thought/emotion as you pass on..
it would be one filled with what your saying in reverse 10 fold..
what ever the thought or emotion is..it's always worser than what the feeling was in life.
its amplified some how.
so your max frustration you can imagine X10 or more..
anxiety to boot probably

Actually, there is a weird phenomenon that occurs when something really, really bad is happening to you. Like an accident. Or maybe it doesnt for everyone, but I know many people besides me that have reported this.
When you are in a life threatening situation, when the S is really HTF, time slows way, way down. A second feel likes 10 minutes. And in my experience, I was deadly calm during the event, and didnt have a fear response til everything was over and done.

I always had a feeling that the only fair way to "distribute" people after death would be to send that particular person to a realm where there are other souls just like them. Good people go to a place where other good people are, sadistic people go to their paradise full of other sadistic people etc.
That makes me think, interesting btw.
So even if these sadistic people do go to a paradise, so to say, since they're with other sadistic people, will it really be a paradise after all? Don't sadistic people dwell on pain, which would mean there would be riots and people getting trampled and hurt? But since they can't die, they would just get hurt to the point of death over and over again?

I had a "near death" experience - when I was hit by a car - while walking, but it was nothing like any of yours. I was not dead, but I was sitting at a conference table and was being told I needed to change the direction of my life.
Hmmmmmmm...... now that is interesting. I had a similar NDE where I also found myself sitting at the front of a large boardroom "conference table". People started filing in talking to each other while paying no attention to me. They each had files and took their places at the table still paying no attention to me. Finally I simply stated.... "Excuse me...... I don't know what I'm doing here..... I'm not dead yet...." They all immediately stopped talking to one another... turned and looked towards me.... then without a word picked up their files and left the room...." Immediately I was back in my body. The boardroom was covered with what looked like walnut or mahogany ornately carved paneling. The room was high up at the top of a downtown skyscraper in a major city.
