Putting aside ex-BKs who might still be in relationships with BKs and wish to protect their feelings ... a perfectly understandable if limited state of mind ... is it in the interest of some ex-BKs to sustain the hypocrisy of the BKWSU and its reputation?
What I am thinking of are "professional" or "IP" (Important People) type BKs who saw the crap, know it well, gave up and left (or half left) and yet continue to sustain it.
For me, it is impossible to support something that is - in my opinion and on the basis of the evidence I have seen - fundamentally rotten at its core and abusive ... never mind confusing "God" with some "Spook". Even if the BKWSU provides some kind of social framework for people that find reality too difficult, it is still feeding off society dishonestly. I want to protect others from it, whether they are in or out and wake them up.
Yet it seems that a lot of the type of ex-BKs that COULD make a difference by talking out and talking to senior BKs, much more skilled and intelligent than I, do nothing, remain silent and even protect the BKs ... perhaps in order to protect their own reputations. They enter into a "co-pocrisy" with the BKWSU ... as Alladin wrote a long time ago, "one hand washes the other". Putting bluntly, you fluff us and we fluff you.
By "abusive", in this context, I meant as little leading people on with a faked up reality and taking money off them from doing so ... never mind all the rest. But, spiritually speaking, surely confusing "God" in people's minds with some "Spook" spiritualism is the deepest level of abuse?
Perhaps we should not say 'BK IP' but 'SIP' (Self-Important Person).
