Hi all
This forum covers a wide range of issues. It is good.
However what seems to be unravelling over the many months with members is the generalisation usage of "The BKs". Now, I am sure each member have had different reasons or issues with "The BKs", in as much as personally I have issues with my own lokik family as well I have issues with my own workplace colleagues and issues with my neighbours. The issues are only with those I know.
I don't think when someone uses the term "The BKs do so and so" which may include, for example sake, from 1 to 10 of the BKs you have/had been in association with, but surely it does not encompass or do much justice with the other 800,000 BKs.
I write this because it helps no much to vent frustration in a generalised way. However, I do realise members may feel uncomfortable about revealing facts, but if members were to specify say, if not the persons per se, but the centre or simply just the country, then this may make some improvements to the way BKs run things but also at least your post has more definite direction and target. rather than simply "The BKs" or "They".
I write this since at each or any centre I have been to, there have been some really good folks there whilst there could be just the one or two whom have issues. And it could be possible that some of those folks are on this forum too. And because there have been good folks, this has outweighed my indifferences to those who bother me. I almost use the laws as in the Secret, i.e. why focus on the bad when you have the good around you. I know that out of the 1 unpukka BK I meet, I meet 5 other genuine effort makers. Who knows, "They" may be thinking the same about me that I am the unpukka one.
Does a bad decision by a few Chinese make them all Tibet haters and thus the rest of the world Pro Tibet ?
Does a bad decision by Bush make the rest of the world anti-american because Bush is american ?
Does one football hooligan in the UK mean all Brits are lager louts ?
What I do find is that when one member has issues with their local BK centre or with just some individuals, it seems to escalate into the entire BKWSU. But can this be true ? Or am I just reading the posts incorrectly. Is the term "The BKs" used in threads and posts mean the entire BKWSU ?
