Please do.
Please be very honest and specific.
It's fair to say that at present you have only seen the 'external advertising' the Brahma Kumaris present. We have had experience with them since the 1970s or 80s.
I am guessing that either this fear of god was put into at an early age, e.g. you inherited it from your family (perhaps someone had a traumatic experience), or that you have a generally fearful disposition and are just focusing it on the gods.
If I were you, and we were all a little like you once, I'd do a little experiment and go somewhere private and do *completely* the opposite to what you think a god would like ... and then wait and see if anything happens. I can tell you know, it won't ... and anything unfortunate that happens to you at any future time in your life is, basically, just an unavoidable random event. The fear of gods and philosophies such as karma have just been used to control the mass of people by small elites who then live off them, e.g. priests and Brahma Kumari center-in-charges.
A large part of Brahma Kumarism is just control followers so they give money and work for free. Please avoid doing so.

Let's be clear about this from a BK point of view.
Firstly, the BK point of view is that "Fear/Stress/Pain" is not only "natural", it is unavoidable and increasing so in the second 2,500 years of their 5,000 year Cycle of Time until this time where it ought to be at its peak (Fag End of Kalpa).
Secondly, the BK point of view is that "Happiness and peace" is only "natural" in the first 2,500 years of their 5,000 year Cycle of Time (Kalpa).
Therefore, "Fear/Stress/Pain" can only be "properly cured" by being killed during a nuclear holocaust, civil war or natural disaster and then being reborn in Sat Yuga.
All of the rest of the time, you are going to be experiencing them. The promise of a "healthy" life from of all this is a somewhat false inducement used to lead individuals into surrendering their time, money and free labour to the Brahma Kumaris' religio-political PR campaign. Correct me if I am wrong.
It's somewhat false advertising ... the BKs target vulnerable individuals who are suffering or insecure in someway and dangle a carrot of hope in front of them. A few try it, most give up and leave, for a few the trance meditation/hypnosis -
and the false sense of superiority - provides some alternative stimulus, and the BK identity a mask behind which to hide.
If we look at the lives of their leaders, there is little evidence of "health". Hypnosis and self-hypnosis could be either useful or damaging in masking pains and anxiety. It would depend on how it was used and to what end.
The problems we have with the Brahma Kumaris are a) the end intention to which it is being used, and b) the lack of proper skills, training and ethical framework within which they practise.
The BKs basically have no ethics ... a large part of their activity is cult-like and designed to feed the cult with money and new workers. A large part of that activity is false and manipulative. They are not in the business of mental health care nor, in my opinion, even really care.
At best, BKism is some weird kind of ego trip in which one is induced to feel special by being reduced to a child-like state and told fairy stories. Any further claims on their behalf ought to be supported with proper medical evidence and individuals protected with proper ethical frameworks.
Sitting for long periods of time may also improve one's patience and stoic nature, but that is hardly unique to BKism.
Just sitting (e.g. Vipassana, Ch'an etc), without all the other BK psychic and cultural baggage and falsehoods, is probably a better thing to do. In my experience and others', being initiated into BKism leaves a longer lasting confusion that may block or effect other treatments and obstruct one from finding the genuine help one really needs, or looking at oneself with one's own priorities -
not the BKWSU's bank balance or center-in-charges' indulgences - in mind.
