From: Janki: Biggest Trophy or Biggest Hypocrite?
Clarification please ... do you think God does possess Gulzar, or not? Is that just an act, or is it real?
I don't understand. Spiritualism, mediumship and channeling happen the world over. They're not just an Indian tradition.
What you are really saying is
You're not talking about changing anything, of course change to BKs is impossible, you're just spouting exactly what the Western BKs have been trying desperately to do for decades. The only thing you are missing is the "turn it into a business doing corporate coaching" along the lines of the Self Management Leadership cult.
To be honest, I am shocked. You're actually sitting there saying the right thing to do is deceive people more. No wonder you think we make no sense at all.
We're not here to make the BKWSU better at deceiving people. We're here to expose its truth to the world and short circuit the time it takes for people to learn the truth about the BKWSU (time during which the Brahma Kumaris exploit them for free money, labor or goods).
Why would you be against that?
BTW, it's Janki with a hard 'J', not "Yanki" as in "Yankee Doodle Dandy" ...

Because it is not important when you are so away from your own divine essence. "God's experience comes always and only after self's divine and eternal consciousness".
These three concepts should be treated in a different way, specially because it has been proven that, for westerners, they can turn into obstacles for experiencing the really important BKs' contribution to the world, which has also been proved to be immense, and I'll be always be grateful for.
- The "End of the world" concept should be clearly stated as a "symbol" of its real meaning, which is "the present historical moment of world's transformation". Any other interpretation is usless.
- The idea of Gulzar Dadi as "a medium" should be kept as a local (Indian) tradition, because that is what it is, no more no less.
So, my personal conclusion is that if they get to address these three concepts in the right way, with all their implications, then the BK would be entitled to be one of the leading ideologies on self-transformation in the actual world. Well, now that I have stated things that I consider should be changed, and the way to change them, I hope I can get to see from you some of the positive things you got at BK, otherwise this blog does not make sense at all.

- "We should hide and cover up all the key components of Brahma Kumarism because they are bad for business in the West" ... which is basically what the BKs are doing.
We should hide the real meaning of Destruction from outsiders and newcomers ... which is basically what the BKs are doing with their "Transformation" marketing idea.
(BTW, is Destruction still going to happen but just be a little bit of a surprise for everyone?)
And, most unethical of all ...
We should hide that we are initiating individuals into a relationship with a spook we think is god and cover it instead with vague terms they will digest and accept more easily ... which is basically what the BKs are doing.
In short, get them hooked first, then tell them ... which is basically what the BKs are doing.
