ex-l wrote:There is one thing that I would like to ask you disclose. We are obviously discussed in BK circles. There are a number of things that you have written, or attitudes, which suggest me that - despite your own personal position - you have been prep-ed or privvy to BK chit-chat about all this. Would you care to discuss that?
Regarding the child abuse cases. I did not mean details of the events. I meant ... "what happened" regarding the official response
Faith is an island in the setting sun. Proof is the bottom line for everyone - Paul Simon "Proof" from the sublime album "Rhythm of the Saints".

There will be no interest in fame, money, name or property or showing off; the focus will be on really helping others to help themselves. All that seek will find much much more than they ever dreamed. What do you think of that dream Terry?

I recall a dream about the handlebars coming off my motorcycle. Checking the next morning they were so close to coming away from the frame that the bike was unroadworthy.
It is said that the texts only make true sense to those ready to understand.
I am not sure that the BK destroy their own treasures through literalisation
... many Buddhism's as there are Buddhists but there is only one Raja Yoga?

it is only me that has called the PBKs' interpretations of Gyan "metaphorical" ... in the sense of expressing one thing in terms normally denoting something else. Wherea [BK] predicted Destruction of the World in 1976 as a literal destruction applying to others; the PBKs interpreted it as a metaphorical destruction of elements within the BK world. .. the BKs interpret BapDada's references to...Islam as referring to Mohammedans; again the PBKs interpret them as metaphorical references to elements within the BK movement
the PBK are also attempting to be "orthodox BKs" and have been noted for their reaction against the modernisation, corruption and abuse within the BKWSU.
Its a shame you wont talk about your own experiences because the handling of BK/non-BK marriages/relationships are a common and very genuine request for help we receive
Listen back to the lyrics, I don't believe Brahmin white is our or your True Colours.
