One thing for sure, from the perspective of 'insiders', or ex-insiders, one can see the bullsh** line he is feeding you ... all this talk of "special sources" and "mystical revelations" and ... ha ha ha ... "helping out in some village" as if he and the BKs were Mother Theresa.
Its bullsh**. He got told about Destruction during one of the initiation courses. It used to be called "The Seven Days Course" but now it is spread over numerous course because it was too hard core and Hinduistic and used to freak too many people out. They would leave and never come back. Now they like to keep people, and their wallets and goodwill closer by leading them on. You can read an old teacher's training course in the Encyclopedia to see how they work.
To get to India, he would have had to go to morning class every day for 6 months or so and every day, several times, he would have been told about Destruction. Again, you can read the Murlis (channeled messages) in the Encyclopedia. It has been going on since the 1930s. And, sorry, but bullsh** to "helping out in a village". He went to witness the spirits possess their medium Dadi Gulzar in person during a mass seance they call "meeting with BapDada".
It is all so typical 'Brahma Kumari hoodwink' ... as is this gradual encultation of lovers and friends. Read Jannisder's, and others, experiences on this forum of being on the other side of that game play. We can decipher it all for you. Yes, you really need to start talking to his girlfriend at least. Its gone too far. I am absolutely sure she does not know what she is getting into.
Once you do, you will start to see the real face - and mind plays - of the BKWSU. It runs from the light of truth and scrabbled around to try and confuse it.
What concerns me most though is that he is also not even following BK 'principles' (ask him why he does not follow the "Maryadas"? - mar-ee-adahs). So, he is a bullshitter from their point of view too. I do not doubt all you say is true, and I am sure there is more of it to come out, but from an orthodox BK point of view, he will have low to no standing. It sounds more to me that he is just on a sort of "guru ego" which the BKWSU empowers individuals with the ability to become and then uses them for a long and as far as they are useful providing free labor and bringing in new adherents.

You said it. I know it to be true ... Having money, or independent financial means, helps one "fit in" wonderfully too.
