Hello John and Ermine,
I did not mean to provoke you guys.

ermine wrote:... very ordinary explanation to blame SS and BK for personal experience
These views are based on real experiences. No one is blaming anyone, just sharing experiences and evidences that leads to such conclusion. And I am not defaming DJ or SJ either. They are divine people, who have performed tireless service. But I am just sharing what people feel, so that we can openly understand the issues.
john morgan wrote:... are not at all interested in money
Brother, about the money ... all I can say is get real!
it is part of this old dirty world that will be destroyed.
Yes, it is free for 7 days but thereafter, you have to give your body, mind, wealth etc.
... it is part of this old dirty world that will be destroyed.
Yes, this old dirty world is comprised of corrupt people. We have to destroy greediness and corruption in the human mind. But "the world will be destroyed"?? I disagree. Mother nature is powerful and we have to respect her. This world will go on but, of course, there will be many natural calamities, huge war etc. That’s nothing new. But we shoudln't make use of what is happening in the world to support our ideals that the world will be destroyed.

Is this a personal or general belief?
... it is personal choice and nobody insists to do it.
About personal choice, sometimes you have no choice, either you stay and obey or just leave. Obedient is very subjective. What are we really obeying? Sometimes it works against our own feelings and it seems there’s not much choice, although we have choices in other matters. So perhaps someone can start another topic in this forum to discuss if we really have choice in BK life?
