"So why are there one rule for others and another rule for the surrendered Brothers and Sisters? It's double standards and pure hypocritical behavior. Come on, Oliver. After all most of them are LADIES and cannot control y'know. It's not just the ladies or Kumaris that have wondering eyes you ...
As part of my recovery from the traumas of my exposure to the Brahma Kumaris world spiritual university as a child of under 10 years old, my personal boundaries were invaded by them and their indoctrination before I even knew about my boundaries or before I was even able to develop them. I am only j...
I also reject that we should in any way allow them to set the agenda, control and modify our behaviour here. Why on earth should we allow them to tell us how we should act? Do they listen to us? Thirdly, my defence of our privacy is that I still believe in the virtues of altruism and egoless. I hav...
Thanks En, you're a star. They did not check physically for imbalance, just a long interview really, with a psychiatrist. I spent years and years trying to see a psychiatrist through my doctor, but I never ever even got around to being referred to one ... I had to find my own ways of surviving ... ...

I suspect that one can only gain so much by having therapy and will then gain the rest giving therap...
The BKs were discouraging me from attending University but that's the one point I did not move on. They were generally pushing me to 'surrender' and devote all my time to the organisation and service ... Thank God I listened to my inner voice and did what I thought was right. Good on you, Minesh!! ...

Mr Green I, too, am not rich, however, if you really look around, you can do many things for free or low cost to help you on your journey of recovery ... that is the only way I have managed to survive so far. If you ...
