BK Denise
Posted: 12 Feb 2018
I have been watching BK Denise's talks and shows. She seems to receive more airtime among non-Indian BKs. Why is that? What is her position in the hierarchy?

I've often criticised her peers, people like BK Neville Hodgkinson and others, for "polishing a turd" (or "putting icing on a turd"). By that I mean, making something that is really quite nasty, look, smell and taste better on first bite. Denis I would say has not just polished the turd but added structure to it. Intellectual structure.
15 Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he healed them all

17 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: 18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen...”
Pink Panther wrote:Religious logic is largely about being cohesive and making sense according to its own terms. Denise’s ”intellectual” contribution is largely to do with BK knowledge being shown to be a cohesive logic, but never goes to testing it against broader undeniable truths, against specific contradictions, or equally plausible, logical explanations.

BK Denise wrote:Conventional science believes we have been evolving very slowly over time. They say that the human stage of evolution is the greatest achievement, the best. But if you look around circumstances seem to be getting worse and worse. From the economic, social, physical and mental health, climate, pollution point of view, there has never been as bad a time as we are in now.
BK Denise wrote:Conventional science defines time as linear: 14 billion years ago there was a big bang and after another 14 billion years, there will be another big bang ... They don’t say what causes either of the bangs. The beginning of time is a long time ago and the end of time is a very long time so in between, they say, we will no doubt resolve the problems of our existence.
BK Denise wrote:Biblical time started 6,000 years ago. They calculate who beget whom from Adam and Eve all the way to the Apocalypse, and return of Christ who brings 1000 years peace in the New Jerusalem. That means that Christianity based Western Civilization also has a background where time moves in circles.
BK Denise wrote:Astrology on the other hand says: it is not 14 billion years in the past and 14 billion years in the future, but the whole thing is just 28,000 years. This is the time it takes for all the stars to return to their original positions in their cycle.
BK Denise wrote:At Stanford University, California, research was done on how some primitive tribes perceive things differently than we in the West. A tribesman with a herd of animals in a mountain area can see over the mountain. How? Because he is not limited by the idea that he can’t, he does not know that seeing through mountains is impossible.
BK Denise wrote:The diamond time (the BKs' "Confluence Age") is super-imposed upon regular time. The Supreme Power causes a complete change or reversal of time. Chronological Time continues to pursue its course ... a different time that operates parallel and opposite to current time. It resembles the bi-directional flow of water in the Bosphorus at Istanbul.

A law of spirituality is, when you take pleasure from things people and places, it sets in motion a system whereby you are obligated to also take sorrow.
