^ Karma is not a Scientologist belief.
Narconon is an extremely successful drug treatment program, it's association with the CoS is irrelevant. Groups like NA/AA require belief in a higher power, Narconon keeps the focus where it should be, on cleansing the body of the toxins that are poisoning it.
I'm not sure what my taste in movies has to do with spiritual beliefs, you are honestly getting weird and stalkery at this point. I like Ender's Game and would love to try and fund a movie if the rights weren't tied up, but that doesn't make me a Mormon.

That would work against it. Karma refers to the action that enshrouds cause and effect. It's a perfectly acceptable and conservative term independent of religious belief. If you mean karma in the "memory of actions attached to the soul and carried between lifetimes" sense, well, that's something else.

Reading all these things about Kharma and considering dank's views on disorders etc., I've already thought of recommending Scientology myself.
At least they're good at making money. Scientology loves money.
It's pretty cool it's like a monetized sarcastic spin on normal religions.... putting two fingers up at every other religion and saying your beliefs make so little sense it's more rational to believe whatever a science fiction writer tells us! I'm concerned it may be a sarcastic joke gone to far though, kind of reminds of the new south park episode sarcastaball! It's genius. Well... thinking about how they keep people in the lower ranks "in line" spoils that a bit, but still: If such a business model would ever hit this forum, I'd be all over it investing. ^ Karma is not a Scientologist belief. [...]
For someone not willing to discuss his/her personal faith, you're making a pretty strong point in this thread. But you're right: It's off-topic here.

And there'd been a YouTube video featuring Tom Cruise with a pirate hat.

lots of relevant commentary... Just close this thread, you disgusting little degenerate, and go back to rubbing your face on a badly tuned guitar and calling it music.
Troop- I would be honored to buy you a drink to respect your grasp of the issue here. Dank's issue is not a failure to communicate, it is a failure to educate.

That's done right right there, can't use your thinking properly without some gud ole edumacation to tell you how its done!
Without knowing much about scientology, this is my opinion about it: It's perverted spirituality, like most any other religion.

Just the $5000. I've been busy with guitar lately. I'm not in a hurry though, the hookah lounge will come.

I'm trying to imagine, after reading the infamous 60 btc loan thread and this one, the type of arguments one could expect from dank about loan repayments. Not just any loan, but the largest loan being asked for on this forum at the moment.
Expecting a payment on Friday, and he missed it? You have no soul and obviously don't understand the way the universe works. He even called his previous lender greedy for holding him to an agreement that was LESS than dank offered himself in the first place.
I can't imagine a worse person to deal with trying to get repaid from, especially after seeing how dank spoke to his previous creditor. He ended up making up hypothetical situations about losing an arm and his mother dying to explain why he was late, in THEORY. Compound that by 10000x (I didn't know how much charcoal costs! I ended up having to get permits! trash bags are expensive! my landlord doesn't take bitcoin and I haven't heard from the exchange I've been using for days!) to get the slightest hint at how bad this would be for the lender.
The hookah lounge is a temporary idea though, dank will move on. The loan isn't for the lounge it's an investment in him, as a person. As an anonymous, unknown, musically talentless, 18 year old child that cannot for the life of him understand why people don't see how great he is.
Whew!

That's what you got out of the 60 BTC loan thread? I had lost all my money, MtGox locked my account with $300, and nckrazze wouldn't give me a break off the 1.5% daily interest (he said he would at first, but I took too long, obviously, since I was waiting on MtGox). The dude could have not been greedy and adjusted the interest rate for what was supposed to be a 2-3 day loan. The best part, though, is that I paid him every bit back, even with his 1.5% daily interest. People like to leave that part out, it seems. By the way, I'm not anonymous, I've confirmed my license with two members. Nobody is talentless - you just have to make your talent, which I am in the process of doing. And it's been, what, a month? I believe I've progressed quite well for a month of practice.

Here's a quasi serious thought (sorry... they just sort of bubble up sometimes!) just how oblivious to reality does one need to be to want to operate a hookah lounge, when one already has a business selling glass pipes to "help out a bud" Not that anybody would ever research a business before licensing it, certainly not a landlord considering leasing commercial property to an 18 year old whose funds are an incomprehensible digital crypto-currency. Kind of like putting a neon sign out there that advertises alternative herb use welcome here, and wondering why the cops keep kicking in the door?

The whole damn thing is farce, he's admitted he's living off money from this and dankbank. He even seems to have accidentally discovered what a ponzi is. He's even rationalized it here, investing in his projects is investing in HIM so living off of the money sent to him is proper investing. Paying rent for the roof over dank is just a maintenance cost for the investment.
It's all farce! I've never read a more frustrating thread on a forum in all my days. FARCE!
FARCE!
\/ I think he's talking about all of the BTC 'invested' in dankbank to date, sans what he has spent out on other things. If you invest in dankbank, you invest in a hookah lounge by way of accidental ponzi used to gain investor confidence. By the time the ponzi goes bust the hookah lounge will be operational and bringing in enough profits to make sure nobody ever finds out.
So, farce.

Yeah, is there something wrong with what I am doing? Having other people support you is wrong? People that see your vision, believe in you and support you, is wrong? And people even earn weekly interest for supporting me. I guess that's wrong though. I've been dreadfully honest, my living expenses consist of two gallon jugs of water each week, plastic utensils every other week, laundry once a week, gas and food. The only clothing I've bought in a couple months was a pair of pants for $4.80. I'm living minimally to focus my energy and capital on my ventures that will help me grow and succeed.
