Equivocation

This is what the BKs do a lot ... Equivocation

Equivocation is a fallacy, a false argument or debate. It occurs when a key term or phrase is used in an ambiguous way or if the definition of the word shifts and changes, with one meaning in one portion of the argument and then another meaning in another portion of the argument.

General examples:

Philosophy helps you argue better, but do we really need to encourage people to argue? There's enough hostility in this world.

Philosophy is supposed to stand on neutral ground. But most philosophers argue for very definite conclusions. This is hardly standing on neutral ground. Shouldn't we conclude that most philosophers aren't doing philosophy?

Of course, the BKWSU goes much further and uses everyone else words and concepts in either new and ambiguous ways to mean their concepts and philosophies, e.g. use terms like "The One" or "The Light" to mean their god spirit Baba.

When a word is used in an argument, it should be used consistently with the same meaning. If the definition of the word shifts and changes, it’s a fallacy of equivocation.

Brahma Kumarism teaches that faith is required for salvation and that faith is irrational belief in the absence of or contrary to evidence, therefore Brahma Kumarism rewards irrationality.
