In Psychiatry, the expression "shut off" is quite common, and usually used to describe a particular person/ patient, whose mind is beyond reach and logical communication . This type of single track minded people can usually be found in cults and religions, and have been well soaked in thei...
Among other negative aspects, cults such as the Brahma Kumaris and narcotic drugs have in common, is that both lead to significant personality change, and are extremely difficult to exit or abandon ..!!
I tend to agree with ex-l's less hopeful comment about the outcome of this case, considering BKs' complete control and unconditional influence over their victims. I recall a personal experience, where pink panther recommendations for nice talk and logical discussions were attempted with a BK enculte...
The story is saddening, especially that it involves not only one person, but also the family as a whole. This is not the first and will not be the last case of a sucked in victim, and the consequences of his/her involvement with a destructive cult like the Brahma Kumaris. May be the lesson to be lea...
In certain countries, laws are very strict and would not tolerate cults and similar organizations. Brahma Kumaris have a bad reputation for being a dangerous cult.

This is a typical case of BK syndrome victim, and similar to many cases where the husband/wife has been enculted and which puts the whole family in a real jeopardy, if we want to avoid using the word ... disaster ..!!
patzcuaro I fully agree with what ex-l wrote. Furthermore, on one hand you say that you are not a BK, and you do not have any contact with them, nor intend to do so in the future.

I think the role of this site resembles the role of an "EXORCIST", as it strives to expel the evil BK spirit from the inhibited souls, and heal them from its influence. It is also an "eye opener" for those who have not been sucked in, so they become aware where they are heading ....
"Duets", are very common in the musical world. On stage, duetists perform together as a pair ...
This forum, in a way, resembles a stage except that in here we have a "Duet" performing out of rhythm, out of tunes, and most importantly ... without logic ..!!
It is truely hoped that the two flashing eyes appearing on this post, will enlighten the way of the sucked-in and trapped BK victims, so they can find their way out ..!!
May be that is the only positive contribution, BK teachings gave your country, and that is by enforcing celibacy among its followers, thus decreasing birth rate ... But on the other hand, destroying families and increasing divorce rate among BK followers ..!!
If the old women at Mount Abu were so keen about their fame and reputation, they had better watch what they do, and what they "hold" as a symbolic, but " ëxplosive" toy ... or alternatively, make sure no cameras are around ..!!
