Status Quo at the BKSWU

Post28 Jun 2007

I've been thinking as to why the BKSWU only presents a certain limited amount of knowledge and history of itself. Only 5 years of Murli are for consumption, even though there are many more years worth. The history is presented rewritten and many, probably very important parts are left out. Why?

The only conclusion I can come to is that the leaders want to present it in such a way that keeps themselves as the leaders and in such a way that makes them comfortable with it all. Will the revelations in other Murlis undermine their position? Will the history once completely revealed affect their credibility?

I think so, that is why I believe they want to keep the status quo.

Rats ... I came in here looking for Rick Parfitt ... :lol:

Aherm ... well, yes, in my experience, when ever people I knew tried to do something empowering and radical. Even when proven to work, it was quickly discredited and stamped upon. There is trust only in the past. In the so called proven systems. There is fear of the new and different. Which for an organisation purporting to change the world is pretty silly ...

Thank you Jannisder :lol:

But some things are subtle and not easy to understand for someone who hasn't been a BK. My post is maybe, not quite how you percieve it.

What I am also saying is that they have part of the truth, unlike Christians, who in my humble opinion are way out of line.

What I believe is that we are only seeing a slice of the pie. The rest, for whatever reason, they have deemed unfit for our consumption and are keeping it hidden away.

I can not remember reading in Murlis or anywhere the Shrimat, "keep some of the Murlis hidden away". Rather I have read points like, "Some will come asking for the gems of knowledge that have been stolen, where are our gems?".

Actually this has been my position for a longtime.

My aim is to understand the BKSWU good and bad, give credit where credit is due, but also see the faults and the implications they have. Where as your aim is simple, you just want to discredit them.

I reckon there's a lot of truth here.

I am never sure though if Rossi ice cream or The Quo are the best thing to come from the Rossi family :lol:.

I am glad someone else got the joke ... :wink:

Well said John ... how to separate the truth and the beauty of The Knowledge and spiritual experience, from the Bhakti and control systems of the organisation is the challenge.
