I believe in Karma because I like the concept.
Could not have said it better myself!
I think I prepay Kharma. Anything I may ever even think of has been prepaid into the next century....

Do you believe in Karma? Why or why not?
by AlmostAtheist ini haven't read up on it, and my only exposure to it is a few people that say they believe in it.
correct my amateurish view of it, please.. karma is the overriding force in the universe that keeps the good/evil scales in balance.
if you do something rotten, you'll get something rotten back on you.

Hello, I'm Aaron, and this is my story...
by MetricRX indear reader,
my name is aaron, and i have a brief story to tell regarding my youth as a jehovah's witnesses.
my story is all too familiar for many who had the misfortune to find themselves unwilling participants in the religious activities of this group, but i would like to share my experience.

It sort of reminds me now of a movie called "Office Space", where the waitress played by Jennifer Aniston who works at a TGIF type theme restaurant, wears fifteen pieces of "Flair" (i.e. wacky buttons on her suspenders showing spunk) but is just getting by with the bare minimum and is constantly annoyed by her boss encouraging her to show more and more of this "Flair". I suppose I was the JW equivalent of Aniston's lack of motivation by only showing the minimum amount of JW Flair. Too funny, but I digress.
Now that cheered my sorry, nappy rear end up! I needed a laugh.
Welcome AaronI think you are going to fit in just fine!

I'm a mother of three and am not sure who gave me the licence to do this and what made me think I could do this. (my opinion of today)
I work five days a week in a cubicle that I hate....doing a job that I am not confident in yet. I used to be, but they changed the plan, give me some time and I will catch up. Grey cubicle walls. I coat them with pictures, then it is too cluttered so I take it all down, organize and slowly put up whatever prints of clients I have taken recently and start it all again.
I work on the weekends taking photos of people. Not the kind of photos I want to take, but good money, and good practice in patience. I will get there.
I think the most horrible thoughts but thankfully I am USUALLY slow to let them out of my mouth.
I do most everything well but with not a lot of knowledge or training. Usually if I see something done, I can do it. Except for guitars. I have bought about 4 or 5 and still cannot play.
I played drums in a garage Spanish band in teen years.
I have been working what would be concidered full time since I was 8 yrs of age. I moved out at 14 and have been df'ed 3 times. I am sorry for a lot that I have done...but NOT because Jehovah doesn' like it.
I have a son with mild tourettes and it breaks my heart to see him struggle with ADD. His depression has hit hard lately. When he goes under...I tend to follow.
My mom is slowly falling apart. She has dymentia (spelling) and is manic and bipolar. She also is a JW and it wears me out.
I cant grow plants but I keep buying them and then they die. So I have a million flower pots with sticks in them.
I like bracelets that jangle.
I sing a lot in the shower and some say I am good. I cant really stand my own voice, but love to sing. Hmmmm
I once won a placing, OK it was third, in a Karaeoke contest and I love to dance. Without style rhyme or reason...I can dance a storm up when cleaning the house. I dance with my kids all the time.
I work too hard, play too little, push too hard, voice too little and hurt deeply when lied to. I love too much and don't know how to stop any of my overboard caring.
The best advice I got ever was from a dying friend who told me never to regret the loving and caring too much thing. He told me people get really smart right before they die. He decided I was smart before he died. I miss him.
I am a freaking slave driver and expect too much from people. Though I don't tend to tell them that.
I have a horrible time being weak. And Asking for help makes me feel weak. It makes me even more angry when I finally do, and am rejected...so why ask?
I hate it when I care for people more than they do for me and I often wait for people to catch up with the love thing. It is like I am always waiting for the world to get the point. lol
I gravitate towards really strong minded, loud mouthed and overbearing women as close friends. I don't know why?

31 TO 40 (35 was my score)POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

I know they serve it in heaven
I know they must. I never miss a chance at her brisket.
I am going to encourage her to post. She may not though because her connection runs slow.
She really took me under her wing and is very protective of me. Quite often a hug keeping me on track when I waiver on my firm hold on life.
They are wonderful.
