  No matter our beliefs, we can all benefit from some simple wisdom about "karma." 12 Laws of Karma That Will Change Your Life

  by kpop in

  whether atheist, such as myself, agnostic or a strong believer in a god, i'd like to share something with you all about karma.

  it relates back to my post about marcus aurelius and a quote often accredited to him on the best way to live.

  i think this will benefit those who are just waking up from the jw cult and wondering, what's next?.

  Numbers 2 & 3 are very good advice.

  Number 1 is nonsense. There is no unseen judge balancing the scales. Do good because that is the sort of world you prefer to live in. Don't expect rewards or retribution.

  There is nothing for parapsychology to investigate apart from fraud and delusion.

  FWIW -- Anonymous suggests North Korea will start WWIII before the end of this year

  i know most of you don't know what anonymous is or what the real 4chan is, but both are saying that their global meta data is pointing that now with south korean elections going to a pro war candidate (moon, who is a psycho) and china saying there may be no other solution, north korea will strike first before the end of this year.

  japan has called up reserves.

  take it with a grain of salt.

  U are parroting regressive liberal talking points about North Korea...

  You could not be more wrong. By the way I didn't quote MSN I linked to the BBC.

  NK is the greatest danger to world peace at this moment in time. They must not be allowed to get a viable nuclear weapon under any circumstances. Military action might be necessary - if it is it will cost a huge number of lives. It is to be hoped that China will be able to exert enough influence to avoid the need for war.

  I asked Kpop to explain his characterisation of Moon Jae-in. He was unable to do so and retracted his comments. The SK leader's opinions on homosexuality is of no consequence to the conversation about the danger posed by NK.

  So nothing at all to suggest he is "an idiot who is a war mongering psycho" then.

  In fact his policy is to engage with Pyongyang more actively than his predecessor.

  I agree nuclear war with NK is a real possibility but it's more important than ever to keep the facts straight.

  Can the dead hear?

  by AmyWatson916 in

  the "what does the bible really teach?

  " book says we cannot speak to the dead (page 64) and that the dead do not hear (page 58) but on page 68 the book has jesus talking to a dead man and the dead man apparently hearing and responding.

  the same thing happens on page 69 when peter talks to a dead woman and the dead woman apparently hears and responds.

  They cannot be universally accepted, but neither should they be universally dismissed.

  They can be scrutinised and dismissed one by one. So far there is not one single credible scrap of evidence for the supernatural. It's all superstition and hysteria.

  He is more likely to favour contact with North Korea rather than the severing of relations undertaken by the previous president of South Korea.

  His predecessor Park Geun-hye, for example, closed an industrial complex just inside North Korea where South Korean firms employed workers from the North. A president Moon might re-open it.

  
  Professor John Delury of the Graduate School of International Studies at Yonsei University in Seoul told the BBC: "We know pretty clearly what the presumed front-runner, Moon Jae-in, would do.

  "He's supported by people who think the South has to go up there to Pyongyang and actively work on improving inter-Korean relations. If it's Moon who wins this election, South Korea really becomes a new player and could be much more forcefully a part of whatever problem or solution we see on North Korea."...

  South Korea had their election today and voted in an idiot who is a war mongering psycho

  Why do you say that?

  Interesting profile of Moon Jae-in here...

  Nothing to suggest he is a war-monger.

  Rainbow - Parapsychology is a failed venture.

  Susan Blackmore dedicated half her career trying to prove everything you claimed in your post. She concluded it was all fraud, deceit, Delusion and superstition.

  Scientists don't dismiss it because they are afraid of anything, they do so because there is zero evidence.

  Really interesting thanks for posting.

  It's strange to think that there was a time when our ancestors shared the planet with other similar species.
