  I do not agree with the sentence and I don't find it in keeping with my belief system - JWDaughter

  It is entirely in keeping with the commands of the pedopile prophet.

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

  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?.

  the point being, from a logical standpoint is that you can expect to get back what you put in

  That has nothing at all to do with the "laws" of karma.

  Can we get over that and examine the benefits of what I posted?

  Yes, I already said twice that numbers 2 & 3 are great advice.

  I'm not being aggressive.

  I just think it's worth pointing out that karma is based on Buddhist bullshit. Of course there are valuable insights that to be gained as I said in my first post.

  In your OP you said "Whatever one puts out into the Universe will come back to them"

  That is woo-woo.

  I said that rule number 2 & 3 are very good advice. I am not being negative.

  Karma is not about reciprocity or positive feedback. It is a supernatural belief in a fundamental justice in the universe. It is a new-age religion rooted in Buddhism. Don't blame me for pointing out that fact.

  Karma assumes an unknown force that balances the scales of justice.

  That is woo-woo. It is a childlike longing for a fair world that does not exist.

  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.
