Yes if it is any comfort I very often feel awful, I regularly feel suicidal. I am very sensitive and get very very upset about the way the world is and the way my life has been. I think probably most Western BK members at least are probably the sensitive sort. The world seems bleak and BK offer a re...
Yes, the Murlis were shredded. I imagine due to being out of date with revisions. I think that is true of the books too. I have not stayed that closely conected to what is going on in BK world in recent years but I get impression from a quick look around here and what was said that they present them...
I have many issues and have had a lot of therapy. It is true that it can seem an endless pile of stuff to work through. I think BK and other cults attract the vulnerable. It is very sad. It was a heartbreaking disappointment seeing all the false promise of BK life unravel. Sometimes I feel like the ...
I was in love with God prior to joining BK, I have loved God since I was a little child. I was not raised that way by my family, so I trust that my opinion and feeling toward God are personal. I always considered God to be a gentle, loving and silent observer and companion. I never had any feelings ...
I noticed on Wikipedia the following message is displayed above Brahma Kumaris entry. I presume this is because BK are objecting to way they are described. Freedom of speech is not something BK should be attacking. In my eyes the more they try to cover things up the worse they look. "The neutra...
Thank you I don't think I would ever have become involved with BK had I been well and sound of mind. I still find it difficult to have a decisive opinion on if the BK organisation is overall more beneficial or harmful. I think it varies a lot according to people's personal circumstances and how deep...
It was helpful to me to share my experiences and thoughts on this site. Being BK was such an important part of my life and moving on from it and the grieving process involved in that was not easy. There have been many stages of processing and it is ongoing. I had a very troubled life before becoming...
I agree. What a load of twisted drivel he spouted in response to reasonable question. A more honest answer would probably have been that it was a desperate attempt to keep hold of those who have been living a lie the longest. The centre heads who have been bringing them in students and money the lon...
Yes, they acted as human beings. I do not attribute their goodness to their being practicing BKs at the time. My pleasant memories of BK life are attributed to human conections and shared experiences. Even some of the manipulative and often cold senior members displayed genuine human caring at times...
The most twisted ones are the ones with highest rank this is true. They need the most help of all as they are most sick. For the safety of others very sick people who refuse to acknowlege they are sick end up in prisons and mental hospitals. The leadership of BK are very sick. Such sickness when com...
Yes, many teachers in the organisation gave all of their property and wealth to the Yagya. Giving them gifts does not make up for the deception that led to them giving all to the Yagya. That only the rich ones were allowed to go is further evidence of a corruption spiritually poverty within organisa...
That sort of crap is one of the big things that turned me right off BK life. The amount of money wasted on superficial pomp and splendour in direct conflict with the teachings and basic spiritual principles. I think those at the top have just got fed up of waiting for the Golden Age and decided to m...
I agree keep your money safe. They have way more than they need already. Getting enough sleep and rest is very important as has been said. You cannot think clearly when exhausted. Be aware that hypnosis is a process of planting suggestions in to minds and it works best when defences are down. When y...
I understand what has been said but I believe it is wrong and unfair to demonise the whole BK group. They are all human beings and most of us here were practicing members among them at one time. Cults are destructive and the BK organisation is a cult so is destructive. I do not contest that. However...
