Full Potential, huh? Many very talented people have spent decades of the most productive years of their lives, doing what? Working out ways to get more people to come to the BKs. And once more people come to the BKs what are those people tasked to do? To get more people to the BKs. To what end? At w...

The Indian "aspirational" classes are wanting to be mini-maharajahs, seen as "successful". Materialism proves worth in that caste-based paradigm. They fall for the cult of celebrity, both within the org and outside it. And these days that's linked with modern media, glitz, schloc...

The question "why is this forum encouraging the distribution of Murlis?" is valid enough. The answer, on one level, is that the BK hierarchy want control and use access to Murli as one tool to manipulate people. They might, for example, banish people from centres possibly for things like p...

There is the ideal and there is the compromise. Better to advise compromise than make it too hard for the "mob" who may then get jack of it and leave. What compromise do the 'role models" make? - asks ex-l. Very little. Anywhere they go they plan meals and, like movie stars, advise pe...

It is different, because you parents cannot become ex. Depending on the person and the situation, do you think it is possible to be good for someone to stay in the BK? Of course. What next after BKs often depends a lot on what went before ... I was lucky to have a good family and friends in my pre-...

tautologicallychallengednow wrote: In all my experience and association with BKs, no one recommended this as part of Shrimat and eating food from your parents was always allowed. In general classes, especially where there are "barely" BKs and newbies, such things are said. Once anyone is ...

Bet it was the wife doing a prank motivated by desire to convince him of something... it ain't even Gyan that's for sure. Not even the BK god would be concerned about a bike

Litteleo - ex-l is only asking that any uploaded documents meet certain specifications to fit into the site standards. If they are scanned, they are "photos" so they are not text-searchable by keyword etc. That's the start ... If you only know how to scan, then you can use an online galler...

A relationship need years to form and certainly years to fix if broken and I am not sure it can even be fixed. It depends on the relationship before the BKs. From teenage years I, typically, had difficult relations with my family, mainly with my parents. When I became a BK they were actually glad a...

Well, that was an interesting topic for a while.

Germany was meant to be an equal fiefdom for Suman and she was nominally Jayanti's equal, Germany numbers were on par or better than the UK if the Hindi wallahs weren't included. Surya and Suman were a formidable team in the early days, and Surya (Stephan Nagel) had quite bit of influence on Western...

Moreclearernow, Interesting name. 5 years in, being a pukka BK, but it took more years out to become firstly "clearer now" and, from what you say, the longer you have spent out of the straightjacket, to freely mix and match for yourself as you see fit from your life experience, choosing t...

I'd definitely advise getting a written contract from them, just in case anyone is thinking of investing ... "One Golden Palace with 108 rooms, covering in diamonds and rubies, please. Delivery date 2036.] Seems like you are reinforcing a new myth of 2036. Has any important BK (or BapDada) men...

Did you benefit from the BKs, the ideas or your own efforts? What does it mean? Why don't you start by making your own objective critique of what is good and bad about the idea and give us some sense of the scale of how good and how bad the effects of BKism. Given the topic is "BKs participati...
