If everything is bo****ks, then what is this forum about ?
I've said it before and will again, I sometimes wonder about the motives of people on this site
you use the word practical then expound another theory
You couldn't be more specific, could you?
I think the problem that folks can have being ex-BKs is that they were taught a lot of "theory of karma" by BKs. Now they are ex-BK-ed, and screwed up, they cannot use such a "theory" as it would be acceptance that the BKs were somehow right. The "it is your own "karma" in yer face" is hard to swallow. But then they wonder what went wrong, want some sort of vengeance, why did it happen to me, why are there happy faces, etc? Grrrrhhhhh.
However, the best way to expound the theory of karma, or any points of Gyan, is to show how it cannot be used in situations, how it does NOT apply, how silly it can be, how insensitive it can be, such as
He must have been a prostitute or a killer in her past life.
The mother had good karma because she died instantly. The driver had bad karma that's why he/she is destined to live in grief AND deal with insurance companies.!
And I gave an answer of
que sera sera
To learn the way to avoid these things happening to one and not question as to why and how!
Now, if any BK is reading this post, they would think that maybe all these four quotes are correct, and would think of karma as something else, as many here have done so. The way to dismantle the BKWSU is to disprove as much of the nonsense so that others will read about it here.
If another "theory" came out, as replies have shown, it just goes to show that there is more ideas and how karma can be thrown out. But you cannot write it off by saying it is "b*****ks", because that is also b*****ks". Does anyone think telling a BK that karma is b*****ks will make a BK turn their head, it will just reinforce their belief that it is right.
The only poster in this forum who has always maintained such a stand to getting a reasoning is ex-l. Previously I posted before that this forum had no aim because at times, it has become simply a bunch of spoilt ex-BKs who had their beans spilled and is asking for some mummy to wipe their mouths and maybe their ar*s* too. It seems like the same hole. Even if you dismantle the BKWSU one day, hurrah and congratulations multimilliontimes, you will have a bit of respite, go away to your part of the world, but you have still been f*****ed up regardless by them.
Saying that Gyan or karma is b*****ks is no statement at all. It is just affirmation of something you knew. And whilst it may relief one or two here for a little time, it still does not take the sting out that you were and are still f***ed.
Have a look at the second post in this thread, 15 pages back and almost 3 years ago :

To me karma is just simple, energy created attracts energy ... or something :lol:
So we are making progress.
I, personally, have no motive or care less about the motives of others in this forum. It is up to each person what they write and share. Because life is much bigger than one forum. It has shrunk even further as the forums have partitioned. If this forum is to only be an ex-BK only forum, where there is no talk about any Gyan concepts, and becomes a place where people just want to blame, then it is really easy because everyone will agree.
You are all getting too comfortable amongst yourselves now that there are no BKs or PBKs, and patting each other in the back that "you're one of us" and whilst that is supportive, you will always need that patting. Will it have any reach? I doubt it. Any BKs will now look at this and see it as another forum. No BKs are even here hanging around as before, you've banned them. Maybe some savvy net BK westerners will look into this, but that is only a small percent, and they ditch this place as fast as they clicked. There are a million other forums out there which are more suited.
Ex-BKs, why bother come on this forum, better to spend the time having a beer in a pub, there you don't have anything associated with BKs at all. And that's where I am off too now. I think I will stay there.
