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 inwhether 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?.

In your OP you said "Whatever one puts out into the Universe will come back to them"
No need to put words into my mouth. I never said that. The article says that, not me. But again, the point being, from a logical standpoint is that you can expect to get back what you put in. Don't look further than that.
I just think it's worth pointing out that karma is based on Buddhist bullshit.
Ok fine. It's Buddihist bullshit. I agree. Can we get over that and examine the benefits of what I posted?

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.
I don't understand the aggression here. I know what Karma is about. I know the background very well. If you read the title of my thread, it says,
No matter our beliefs, we can all benefit from some simple wisdom about "karma."
Notice the quotes around "karma?" Notice how I said we can benefit from "some simple wisdom?" I'm not promoting Karma as a religion or belief system; I'm simply stating there is something beneficial from the 12 laws of karma for us to learn from. No need to look further into than that.

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.
Once again, you are entirely missing the point of my post. I'm an atheist. End of discussion. I don't believe in any super natural powers anywhere. I'm a man of science, logic and reasoning. There is rarely justice in this world and when it does occur, it is a result of coincidence. With that said, the point of my post was about the positive influence of thinking in these terms. Positive people are usually surrounded by positive people; thus the positive feedback loop. Every hear of reciprocity or "paying it forward?" That's the point. That's all. Stop being so negative.

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.
First of all there are 12 laws, not 3. Secondly I think you are missing the point entirely of rule 1. Rule 1 is like the "Golden Rule" and has nothing to do with retribution but rather just doing good for the positive feedback loop. As an atheist, I don't expect any reward but doing good is beneficial for everyone.
Here are the other rules
4. The Law of Growth5. The Law of Responsibility6. The Law of Connection
7. The Law of Focus
8. The Law of Giving and Hospitality
9. The Law of Here and Now
10. The Law of Change
11. The Law of Patience and Reward
12. The Law of Significance and Inspiration -

FWIW -- Anonymous suggests North Korea will start WWIII before the end of this year
by kpop ini 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.

Breaking:
North Korea's ambassador to the UK has told Sky News his country will go ahead with its sixth nuclear test at the time and place of its leader's choosing.
"The US cannot attack us first," the ambassador said, adding: "If the US moves an inch, then we are ready to turn to ashes any available strategic assets of the US."
Sounds exactly like what Anonymous said. Oh well. Don't kill the messenger.

(I'm only going to post the first 3 laws) Peace to you all. Namaste.
1. The Great Law“As you sow, so shall you reap.” Whatever one puts out into the Universe will come back to them.
2. The Law of Creation
Life requires our participation to happen. It does not happen by itself, so we can best ensure the life we want by surrounding ourselves with what we want in our lives and being ourselves.3. The Law of Humility
If all we see is shortcomings, we can't very well fix that. We have to accept people for who they are, and then we can be a positive example to them.https://www.organicandhealthy.org/2017/05/12-little-known-laws-of-karma-that-will.html

So I've been a lurked on this site for about 15 years, thank goodness for dial up internet...
Is dial up internet the reason it took you 15 years to log in? :)
Ok but seriously, I'm going to PM you what you should do as JW cult members lurk here and report back to Bethell. Give me a few! We'll get you through this! :)

Hello Vaderhoven! Thank you for this link. I was looking for a comprehensive website that has everything in one place because I find myself often referring back to old literature to show the sheep how much the JW cult has twisted their own words and attempted to rewrite their own history. Thank you again!
PS- I have a few mirrors of the "Shepard the Flock 2012 edition" if you are interested. I don't see it there in the list. Maybe because the JW cult would try to have it removed... idk
