I am not sure if I should post this here but I was on the internet looking for info on a terrorist and what I found was a Image of man holding a head. It was real and I have never seen any thing more frightning in my hole life. the face Had a expersion of fear and pain on it as if it was crying. It was being held by a mask gun man, he was holding it in front of the camra as it was some kind of trophey. I never see anything so horribal in my life and I know my life was not in danger but I feel tromatized and hollow, as if my sanity died (as if I was there). I am sorry if this was the wrong place to put this but I need to tell some one.

Man's inhumanity to man will make you sick if you see it face-to-face (as you did).

While such things are indeed horrible, they show us the true nature of sin, and the need for us to turn away from it...

It also underscores the need to depend on God for protection - and to take whatever steps we can to help!

I saw a video of a beheading and felt very much the same. It was horrible and I haven't yet figured out why I was meant to see that.

I saw some of the beheadings as well... I believe I saw 3 or 4 of them. I think God had me watch them to really see the types of people we are dealing with. When I saw the beheading of Nick Berg, I had enough..

Seeing those videos will probably stay with you forever, but it will make you a stronger person in the long run.

I've seen the beheading videos of Nick Berg and the Kim Sun Il.

Kim Sun Il's is one I'll never forget, not because he was Korean like me, but he was innocent and on a mission for God. Kim Sun Il was born into a poor family in South Korea (it's worse than being homeless in America), but he turned to God for help and became a devoted Christian. Part of a Christian organization, Kim Sun Il went to Iraq and got kidnapped. This man's crying and begging makes one understand how terrified he must have felt. His beheading video made me OVERLY mad at Abu Al-Zarqawi, the man who was behind such deed. You don't want to know how many times I said the f-word at Zarqawi in my mind that time. Losing sanity at that time, I came to realize that Kim Sun Il died a martyr, and he has a place in heaven. He died for the just cause, and such was enough justice done towards the evildoers who committed horrifying murder.

I am about to remove my avatar about St. John the Baptists beheading as that part of the ecclesiastical year is now over. But perhaps seeing beheading video's can help one relate to the many Saints of the early church who were beheaded as Christian martyrs.

I ssen some sick stuff like that. heard of death faces or movies like that where they have clips of people killing, die and commiting suicide? I have seen a movie like that whe i was about 16. It was disturbing and some peoplelaugh at stuff like that, but things like that happened, its part of life. Just try and not to think or worry about stuff like that.

I am so sorry that you saw that. I can imagine how awful it must have been. I hope that you can try and put it out of your mind.

I'm very sorry to hear that you've seen such a thing, and I can see how it could traumatize someone. I remember seeing Saddam Heusen's execution on video, and being profoundly affected by what I saw. Indeed, it's almost a life changing experience to see someone die before your very eyes, but remember ,like others in this thread have mentioned, you can use this to make yourself more aware of the horrible sufferings in this world, and perhaps find a way to minimize such suffering through your own actions.
