I am actually talking about something different ex-I. We are told to give $800-$1,000. What I am talking about is many of us are entrusted to hand over large sums of money for collection aside from what is personally given. I was told this is done world wide, but have not asked anyone about this. I'...
Just came back from a trip with a BK friend to Florida and Washington. I found the 2 center-in-charges there to be very open to discussion; Waddy and Jenna. I met them both many times but this seemed different - there were many discussions about how the "new" Yagya would emerge following t...
Thank you. It was empowering. My friend came after me and was quite upset. He wants us to get together to "talk", that Maya has me and I will lose my credibility with the Seniors. He wants me to go to Madhuban with him and have a deeper connection. I told him I appreciated his kindness and...
Cash is regularly carried by BKs to India. In US currency, between $1,000 - $5,000 by each person on each trip. This was to be handed off to a representative upon arrival. Always told the currency was worth more and it was allowed. I was also told a certain portion from each center was collected fro...
Well, I guess here's the start of something ... went to a Diwali program and spoke to a Brother I have known for years. Actually, I wasn't into the program at all, guess I was being "pulled" again. We talked about karma being hurtful and damaging ... I used the example that ex-I did about ...
Also just found out they are in alliance with the BKs. Many are already conducting workshops all over. I spoke with a BK I know on the Green Team who told me she feels we must sustain the earth while we are on it (not a BK teaching) but ... "but we can bring in more people who can learn about u...
How awful ... how very disturbing. I had a friend that had left to find out about the PBKs and joined them. No one reached out to him from the BKs and, as of now, I am still in touch with him and he is thinking about leaving them too. But I had overheard my center in charge say to another that he wa...
From your personal experience, Pink Panther, was that painful for you to be treated with that lack of regard, a "non-'person"? It would be for me from some I am close to, but not from Dadi Janki. Met and been with her many times, have seen her in action ... I have lost total respect for he...
That's not only a very fair question but an extremely valid point ... There is a strong attraction to so-called family and connection - a deep feeling of belonging. I see clearly now how that was played and preyed upon at moments of weakness. I always enjoyed that as well as doing service with other...
I really wish I could answer that, ex-I. I don't know for sure ... and, yes, for me also children were involved, although not young. But the damage was done ... a lot of damage to our relationships. But I do know there are many, many new ones with young children and they are all being targeted as &q...
This is still around; making a resurgence on Youtube with a BK (Elizabeth Pandya [sp?]) alongside a representative from this organization Pachamama Alliance. The work is again being promoted in retreat centers with the Green Team. From the above site, it looks like they did not get a legal status re...
I am sorry to tell you Andrew, that I am one who did speak to ex-bks; and heard their true story ... many, many of them. None of that worked with me. One thing Pink Panther says about, "may have an intuition that there is a fallacy or artifice about it all ... unable or unwilling to give it up....
Yes, much is told in secret ... to defile the family. Do not lose touch with friends ... make plans with her and your family; do not stop telling her how much your baby needs her as they will try to make her "detach" her feelings and emotions from him/her. Tell her "God" gave her...
As a previous Beatles fan, I did not know any of that! So you think he "woke up" in a way that we have to, although I cannot believe how long awareness takes hold but denial, or change, or whatever doesn't seem to precipitate a quick exit. Does one need to "replace" something ind...
