If we could travel at light speed, would travel be 'instantaneous' for us??

this might be confusing to think about.

we know that as you approach the speed of light, time slows down, if you were in a spaceship, time goes by quicker on earth.

we also know that distances between planets and such are measured at 'light years'.

2. experiences
while i was in the borg, the only relatives i knew and we mainly kept in contact with were jw's.

on one side of my family, back to my grandparents, they cut ties with all the non jw family when they converted.

i've found some through facebook, but only those i knew about.

If there is a God/Creator, evolution/DNA followed the same pattern as computer technology

2. beliefs
if there is a god, we have no idea of his power and if he created the universe or merely biological lifeforms on earth, etc.

but see a correlation with evolution and computer technology.

computer's began very basic, and as new coding is developed and new technologies created from the previous computers, the generation of computers, smartphones, technology, etc keeps evolving into more advanced life forms.

At this point in time and onward, how technology may send the human race back to the stone age...

for thousands of years, the human race has slowly advanced by learning and mastering professions and grouping into cities allowing specializations.

these trades were passed directly and through books.

but everything until recently began with the ground up.

Evidence of a form of telepathy, science and personal experiences.

2. current
i believe in rational explanations for everything, whether they are understood yet or not.

medication used to be considered 'magic' until understood how it worked.

on the subject of telepathy, for me it's very subtle but has happened many times.

How to sue the WT over shunning policy. It CAN happen!
by Bad_Wolf in
1. watchtower
2. bible
this is a very good document from a law school exploring religious freedom vs an individuals right to religious freedom without blackmail, pressure, etc, and also explores why certain lawsuits did not win and what it would take to win them.

https://scholarship.law.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=3827&context=penn_law_review.

a person born in, and whose parents or family pressured to shun because they simply left the religion, who has evidence of damages, etc, would likely have a good case if they find a good lawyer.

At what point would you lose your consciousness and reality?? (really being explored on TV shows now)
by Bad_Wolf in
1. social
2. entertainment
many recent shows and movies are showing and exploring people having their consciousness absorbed into digital form or transplanted to younger clone bodies to extend life.

parts of our brain can be cut or damaged, but we are still us.

our bodies can be replaced with artificial limbs but we are still us.
