The Self Delusion
by John_Mann inwe already are very familiar with the god delusion, but what to think about the property of being self aware is just another illusion?.
buddhism asserts that and many people does not know that the very materialism (physicalism) asserts that too.. how can an illusion be self aware to be an illusion in itself?
what would change in your life if you accept this?.

Jesus washing feet in underwear or naked?
by John_Mann injohn 13:4,5. got up from the evening meal and laid aside his outer garments.
and taking a towel, he wrapped it around his waist.. after that he put water into a basin and started to wash the feet of the disciples and to dry them off with the towel that was wrapped around him.. .
the wt "translates" himatia as outer garments but some other translations says just clothes.. if he were wearing just an underwear, why wrap a towel around the waist?

The Bizarre Free Will
by John_Mann intwo years before i left jw world i came to a strange conclusion about the jw cosmology and the free will doctrine.. basically i came to conclusion that satan is right about the universal sovereign issue.
and i came with that just only using jws premises, no outside apostasy.
i just told to my sister what she thought about it, and she said to me: dont tell anyone about this!.

Quantum world POSSIBLY affects the macro world
by John_Mann inmigration via quantum mechanicsa perplexing property of quantum mechanics could be allowing birds to see and navigate the planets magnetic fieldsone-fifth of earth's 10,000 bird species migrate over great distances, crossing seemingly insurmountable obstacles as they follow the seasons.. demoiselle cranes fly to altitudes in excess of 20,000 feet as they pass over the himalayan mountains.
the arctic tern travels from pole to pole in pursuit of an endless summer, a distance of some 40,000 miles.. scientists have long speculated that certain animals are making use of magnetic fields to find their way, but biologists are mystified as to how they might do it.. now some answers might be coming from one of the most perplexing interactions in physics.. quantum entanglement dictates that if two electrons are created at the same time, the pair will be entangled so that whatever happens to one particle affects the other.
otherwise, it would violate fundamental laws of physics.. the two particles remain entangled even when separated by vast distances.. http://www.physicscentral.com/explore/action/pia-entanglement1.cfm.

The JW's and the e-smoking
by John_Mann ini just achieved an electronic pipe wich is virtually identical to a conventional one.
but it not produce smoke, no burning, no hazard substances, just steam.
it's quite similar to a nebulization, nothing more.
