I actually agree with you in that conclusionm, but it's not what the BKs teach. Not that they are honest at all. It would be the easiest way to understand what has gone on, and more evidence of Lekhraj Kirpalani confused visions of the future.
It's all been a massive confidence trick in the here and now. A money making scheme to keep a small elite in comforts.
That's the only thing we can be absolutely sure of.
Defenders will say, "Oh, the BK Seniors live simple lives". May be in comparison to Westerners. May be even in comparison than the Indian upper and middle classes (although they probably travel more). But in comparison to the beggars they would have been without turning to religion as a business, they are living like kings and queens, surrounded by servants. Treated like celebrities within the BK world.
Meanwhile, for the BK masses, is a nuclear war still just around the corner to keep them all in line, and emptying their bank accounts?
