Question
Hello father i sent an email to som1 and they said this about the self judgment and said i would feel pain?


In the self judgment are you actually judged by god, what happens, after are you still alive? is everyone judged on the self one.
This is an amazing process - you stand before God and judge yourself -
the things you did and shouldn't have - also the things you didn't do and should have.
You get to experience all the emotions of the people you hurt and see how it felt.

You are right - EVERYONE gets this exam at the end of life.

At the Second Coming - you will experience this also -

Its going to be very painful -

You will also re-member all these e-mails that ask the same questions over
and over and over - :-)

I hope you are taking notes on what I tell you.

I'm not going to repeat it again. :-)

Answer
Alex,

  No one knows what will happen at the Last Judgment. No one knows what it will be like. All such things as you report are sheer speculation. You free to believe them, if you wish, but the Church doesn't sanction this or any other specific interpretation.
