One or two BKs say they are not allowed to participate here. One has never tried, the other is a persistently insulting, block-headed bore (mbbhat). Many BK do have memberships but don't use them. If individuals get the boot it is generally more to do with their personal qualities rather than their faith.
Personally, I think it would be better if I was allow to participate over at their forum (where they are saying this ... but they banned me from it!

We've tried. In the beginning the idea was to invite everyone and allow each their own forum but it did not work and it was too much work. And from my point of view, I would not do any work for the BKs without being paid to do it, including tidying up after their adherents and educating them.
This forum is to support ex-BKs, those BKs who want to leave and are exiting, and the friends and family members of BKs. Having active BKs around makes some people, the people we are really here for, people who have suffered and been abused, very uncomfortable. We welcome guests who do not fit into those categories on a conditional basis of which honesty and sincerity are high priorities, and considering how much give minus how must work they take, e.g. someone like Arjun I would have no problem with having around.
BKs also do sneaking things, e.g. they don't post on the forum but use the Private Messaging system to spread damaging lies or try and re-capture exiting BKs back to the BKWSU.
The honest truth is, not one single BK has ever contributed anything to this forum. Not one has given of themselves ... not even to give to other BKs, such as those who ask for Murlis to be sent to them for good reason. Not one has said a good thing or shown respect for what we have achieved and more than one has attacked us, criticized us, stolen our work and not credited us, fought against the truth coming out for years ... the list goes on and on. Even BKs who I thought were friends, and who I had done favors for in real life, turned out to be BKWSU-first backstabbers.
And then there is the tiresome BK-PBK dispute ...
BKs are how the Murlis describe them, by which I mean, there are stone-intellects, spiritual cripples, many are still asleep and so on; and, new to all that, you have recent generations of neo- or demi-BKs who are re-inventing what the BKWSU is in order to suit themselves and their lives, e.g. getting married and having sexual relationships.
I think they're the worst because they are adding layers of falsehood and obfuscation to justify what they are doing in their own lives ... pretending that that is BKism.
Is there such a thing as a Lay BKs? "A lay BK is no BK".
The sad truth is, I'd find it hard to say I've had any good interactions with any BKs at all. Robin Ramsay was pretty reasonable and robust enough. He has an inner life that reaches beyond BKism ... but all of the rest of big name BKs have treated like untouchables.
At the end of the day, what the point? We know more about the BKWSU than most BKs do. Why should we have to deal with their denial time and time again? It's like how many BKs still come along who buy into the whole 1936 myth ... it's not my job to educate them.
