Brahma Kumaris Info - the Truth about BK Meditation
Independent thought about the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University

Hi all, this is a very interesting discussion and I think a very important one. I started a thread in Abuse and Recovery on experiences of possession about a week ago - more focused on personal experiences of psychic possession as a BK student rather than the mediumship of the BK leaders. However, i...

To Ex-I, Re: a class action against the BKSWU We did not make an 'informed" decision. We were deliberately NOT informed, or misinformed. There is culpability (wrong/guilt) on behalf of the leadership and it is your center-in-charge and the trustees of the local BKWSU so-called "charity&quo...

When Roland Emmerich, the famous Hollywood disaster movie director of "Independence Day" and "The Day After Tomorrow" was interviewed a few months ago about his latest end-of-the-world movie "2012", he was asked, "Why do you like killing the world?" His respo...

To Ex-I Of course, I cannot ever remember any such thing being "written in the Murlis", so it was completely personal brainwash from the person who told you (and the person that told them) but folks should realise how common such secondary fear based teachings and manipulations there is go...

Thanks Tom for your very considered reply. it is my opinion and my practice, praying daily to Divine, to all Saints, to all Prophets, to our guarding angels and souls, to honor them and to ask them for their help and guidance and to thank them and to send them back to their places. We all have favor...

Thanks ex-I for the very sensible advice. I will tread very cautiously regarding communicating with my Sister about my realisations about the BKSWU cult, and my healing process. As much as I would love to just have it all out in the open and achieve some kind of healing closure for both of us, I rec...

Hi, as a new member here (and as a long-time ex-BK still experiencing many lingering mental/spiritual problems), I am wondering if anyone is willing to talk openly about experiences of negative psychic influence, post-hypnotic suggestions or even "possession" during or after the BKs? And, ...

Thanks Ex-I. Tell me, if you were in the BKs that long ago, you must have been around when the Murlis said, "50 years for Destruction, 50 years for Creation"? That is, pitching Destruction around 1986. Absolutely, it was a very frightening time for me. I walked away from the BKSWU in 1985 ...

Thanks Rayoflight, you are really on the ball. :D How much power did we unconsciously give to the cult and have we taken back our power even after having exited? This is really the crux of the matter. It's pretty hard to argue with "God is teaching us personally the absolute Truth only in the B...

Hi, One thing I have been wondering about is how one actually officially becomes an "ex-BK"? I know that some people get dramatically banned from centers for heretical and unacceptable behavior, and some people just decide to walk away of their own accord when the real nature of the cult s...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has had experience of recreating similar kinds of abusive cult-like experiences in other forms since leaving the BKs? From the reading I've been doing on post-cult recovery it sounds like this "cult-hopping" can be a fairly common occurrence for people wh...

Hi, thank you for your supportive comments. The videos by Madelaine Tobias have been so helpful to me starting the recovery process. Here is the link to Part 2 of the series Cult Recovery. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4790136471465722593 To answer the question: Did you become a BK by your...

Hi all, I became a BK as a teenager and left at about age 21. I guess when I left I thought I would just try to get on with a normal life and put the BK experience behind me - go to college, get a job, meet new people etc, and that time would heal ... However, it did not happen and I am kind of emba...
