Independent thought about the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University

thanks for the lovely replies, i found in deed interesting

It's true what you say PP, I left my family behind for a long time, my poor mum!

She used to come to meetings, Janki loved her, just to see me I suppose.

There is a great feeling of shame and hurt felt by a devout member upon leaving.

It still hurts a little now to feel distant from other members who at one time you were really close to.

I knew Rowena a bit, she was living in Shakti Bhavan when I was in London. She told me she was treated very badly by her center in charge from the first centre she attended in Norfolk. She seemed very unhappy even then.

You seem very sweet and kind Misty but I think you barking up the wrong tree with this one.

Nice to see your interested in posting here though

So those challenging anything, they must be in the wrong as t...

It is true, I did all of those things. I gave my everything and really believed in it all. That's not really the issue, it's more that vulnerable people are taken advantage of by others within the organisation. Then, when it gets out of hand, the people running the show are completely silent and thi...

There are some sweeties alright.

A Liar I used to detest those meetings with BapDada. What a massive delusion and ego battle. A fight always to be the nearest or to get up and take drishti. Sitting cross legged on a concrete floor with a piece of cloth on it for 11 hours. I did enjoy sitting in the gardens at the back of Om Shanti ...

The arson was at a parade of shops in a 1960s housing estate. There's about 20 shops there which have changed hands for many years. There is no way a hotel would ever have been considered there!

This is all unfortunately fantasy.

There is asexuality there, and no poo.
