Re: Brahma Kumaris Fight Follower for Luxury Apartment

Does anyone know who the BK Director for Russia is?

Re: Brahma Kumaris Fight Follower for Luxury Apartment

Hi Alladin, Apologies for my vagueness, the question was directed towards the BKs who are involved in the court action. It was meant for them to ask themselves. Your point about them not being able to say sorry is true and very, very sad. Hard-liner authoritarian so close, apparently, to Bap Dada re...

Its been that way for decades. An effective solution may be that each grossly overweight BK should, each time they return to Madhuban, spend a medically advised period of time working alongside the hardworking slim trim Bheel ladies.

A short postscript. The aim of a BK life is to become exactly like Baba. Is Baba interested in money or court cases? How can the one who has absolutely everything be interested in an apartment? Surely his aim is to make his children happy. This court action is not an act of God. Baba provides all th...

The issue as I saw it was a conflict of ideas. On the one hand students were told that if you give it must be to Baba and that if you are not giving to Baba your donation will not be accepted. Then on the other hand the BK court reasonably godless businessmen for funds. When I attempted to point out...

At the time that Jayanti Kirpilani's Father donated the property near Kew, it was openly explained that the property was her dowry which otherwise would have been given if she married. In order to finance St. Gabriels Road, Dadi Janki asked for donations in class, and then asked for more as students...

It really does seem to me that the BK are happy to use misinterpretation of The Knowledge by their followers to their own material advantage and actually encourage such misinterpretation. Quite obviously this is not the work of God, why would God want property if destruction is due any day now? So w...

Re: Ex-members in support groups show reduced neuroticism

15 Jan 2009

Guess it depends on which cult you go for. The cult of support groups is also a cult of sorts. Many who have exited a cult can help others to do the same. Its not a question of being blind about God. Its much more about being unaware of ones own capabilities. Stress is a major factor in exits, deep ...

Re: Coping with the Future through Chiliastic Expectations

15 Jan 2009

There is a difference between relying on prophecy and being intelligent. No matter what prophecy one embraces (and many do not do this) one still has to enter the field of cause and effect and adjust and experiment. Often prophecies that people adopt are incompatible with their own place in evolutio...

An old friend of mine, a silent movie actress (now deceased or in BK speak working from the Subtle Region) used to say "I love being converted, I get converted whenever I can, its such a happy time."

Where do I sign up?

Would you recommend an Xbox, a Wii or something else?

Re: Sister Sudesh

13 Jan 2009

Thanks Leela, Yes, Didi Sudesh expressed no holier than thou attitudes in direct contrast to her peers. Recently I have realised that if God screws you up it cannot possibly be God or anything to do with him. The ocean of love and mercy, how could he screw anyone up? Yet many of the BK do a remarkab...

Re: BKWSU, the business, money and selling Gyan

11 Jan 2009

Give a BK a potential donor and the donor will be courted. I recall a Senior Sister saying to me, "He is a businessman, he might give Baba some money". The notion of only people who are benefitting from the teaching being allowed to donate is for students and this point will be deeply impr...

Re: Sister Sudesh

11 Jan 2009

I knew Sister Sudesh as she was then known in the Tennyson Road days. At that time her English was good but not that good and the English class students would correct her sometimes a little harshly, she took it all in her stride. Sometimes others thought it necessary to remind the class that, in Ind...

Re: Hello everyone. I am new to this forum.

Hello Dilse, You are quite amazing. Your mum treats you so badly and you care so much about her. I cannot see how it would harm your Mum if you were to ask the necessary questions as it is she who wishes to give your share of your mutually owned property to the BK. It may be that the BK would help y...
