Excuse my french but you dumbfucks, you never knew you had it so good. The insult wasn't gratuitous.
I have recently been challenged in an email on the tone and vocabulary of the above quote. Perhaps the reply I sent that person privately is of relevence here:
The insult, as I stated, was not gratuitous, nor was it an expression of anger – in fact quite the opposite. It was coolly considered. The two main insults bestowed upon those who leave the BKs – and not only by BKs but also by their God in his/her/its Murlis - is that we are impure (in particular because of our sexuality) and ignorant (because when you leave your intellect gets locked again). Thus God and his angels have for decades and decades been calling us dumbfucks.
As their behaviour towards us is apparently getting worse, not better, my prediction is that there will appear types of opposition to them that will be more reciprocal in nature. Hence my phrasing and use of their insult. Anyone who knows about the BKs should realize that it would be hypocritical of any of them to take offence at my language.
Nevertheless, in the same piece I tried to point out that there is a big difference between rude opposition and unprincipled opposition. Of course, in the case of this particular organisation there can be no such thing as opposition that is not rude – to even question or challenge them is itself impertinent. Hence the current attempt to close us down.
Well, we aren't going anywhere so they are going to have to choose, learn to live with our rudeness or watch us joined by a much less principled type of opposition. However bad it seems now, things can get a whole lot worse.
I have lost one of my closest BK friends to suicide and I myself came within minutes of killing myself. These have been documented here, but they are in the past. And yet I am in regular contact with more than one ex-BK who describes themselves now as being in danger of suicide.
And the causes that pushed me to the edge have still not been rectified or even acknowledged by the BKs. Twenty years later. And in this forum people come and state with a candour that sends shivers up my spine that they nearly killed themselves yesterday or they don't know how they are going to survive tonight.
As is also documented here I have a friend who was sexually molested as a child both in Delhi and Madhuban by a Madhubanniwassis. In each successive year that she went, her and her Brother had to endure seeing him and wondering when they would next have to fend him off.
Again a long time ago but nothing has been done to stop it continue to happen. That Madhubanniwassis predator could still be active now. Why wouldn't he? As for the victims. they remain ignored by the BKs. They have received no apology and no attempt has been made to make any kind of atonement.
These facts, these failures are the real obscenities not insults like "dumbfuck" or indeed "Shudra" for that matter. But the people who have allowed that Madhubaniwassis to avoid justice may well deserve the title, and probably need to consider the possibility that they could be viewed as such.
