Re: Official BKWSU internal reform efforts

08 Apr 2010

Well, I guess the problem is and always has been that the BKs just don't grasp the process of becoming an ex-BK, or have any idea what it is like to be an ex-BK. Unfortunately, I cannot see this ever changing. So, no, there is never going to be any of the kind of changes we would like to see - like ...

How to start a cult - anyone seen this video?

25 May 2009

I don't know who is behind this website but it has an excellent video posted on youtube. It resonates loudly with the experience of being enculted by the BKs.

World peace organization appears to be doomsday cult.

Yes, my overall experience of being a BK was one of being castrated - very slowly!

With reference to Terry's point: I'd suggest that many came for more positive reasons (I was an "explorer" and idealist). But then you were never a "normal" BK. Remember when Dadi Janki ordered us all to shave our beards off? I remember you asking questions that annoyed her so mu...

yes I know of one Brother in Brazil who was shoved into therapy by his family. His psychiatrist thought he was paranoid (end of the world, won't eat outside food etc) and delusional (Golden Aged emperor) and diagnosed him schizophrenic. He was put onto anti psychotics. No more BK! I understand your ...

okay ex-l, you can be a little prickly, so Terry, please don't take offence. Terry is very thoughtful and has made valid suggestions. I agree that in the UK and Oz psychotherapy is considered to be the domain of losers and so people mistakenly avoid it. In fact, I wonder if they even know where to g...

Re: Another BK suicide - open letter to Jayanti

10 Mar 2009

The letter I posted to start this thread was also emailed to Jayanti. She knows who I am. But I am not expecting a reply. DUTY OF CARE. Is that so hard to understand or accept?! Only if you are as stubborn and self righteous as Jayanti. There is absolutely no excuse for not having a duty of care pol...

Another BK suicide - open letter to Jayanti

08 Mar 2009

Sister Jayanti, As you know BK Esther committed suicide by hanging herself on January 18th. Have you got any idea how much a person must be suffering to take a piece of rope, place that noose around their neck, and then deliberately kill themselves? No doubt you have endeavoured to absolved yourself...

Re: 2008 Charter of International Functioning

21 Dec 2008

Where the BKs may have shot themselves in the foot here is that their stated aims in this document are quite different from the stated aims they have made to the charities commission in the UK. So does that mean that they will be withdrawing their claim for charity status? The 2008 charter may have ...

Re: Black people are the most impure - Dadi Janki

14 Dec 2008

Thanks Joel for once again providing us with a personal, rational and insightful perspective - notably without offending anyone! See, diiogenes, it is possible to be thoughtful, individual and respectful, and to share that humbly with others in an open forum. When I first accused diiogenes of being ...

Re: Black people are the most impure - Dadi Janki

My question is why is diiogenes pretending to be an ex-BK? ... the law of gravity is the same thing as karma blah blah ... do you think we have not heard that before? Do you honestly think there is anything you are telling us that we have not heard before? You are simplistic, reductionist and fundam...

Re: Official BKWSU internal reform efforts

05 Dec 2008

are we to suspect that reform with the Western BK movement was the pointless façade we all expected it to be? There was a desperate hope that maybe we would get through. But those at the top are too disconnected from what is really happening, so they don't care. And they are so intoxicated with the...

Re: News reporters wanted!!!

30 Nov 2008

Aaah but the BKs have a special method - keep them thinking it is free even when they are giving all they have. Never before have so few given so much and received so little! (well, if you exclude promises). In Australia the BKs were funded by the Australian govt. As many BKs were unemployed and the...

Re: News reporters wanted!!!

Begs the question "when is a journalist a scientologist?"

I am thinking of starting a cult. The Puff Piece reads "exploitation at discount prices" - or rather - "The Way to Happiness for just the cost of a house".
