The reason why I do not want to encourage anyone to join is that I am being cautious don't want to be blamed in the end ... Better safe, than sorry.
And you are to be admired for taking the stand because, whatever the motivation, you were being used ... and used to create a front.
I did not mention beore, but that "blanking" that you mentioned when you said that you might catch a nice BK boyfriend is typical BK behavior. They see but they don't let out their repsonse. They learn to hide or remove any reaction and are willing to use any situation to their advantage, e.g. "for service". So, in short, any man with two brain cells might have seen that you were keen and wanted to establish a normal friendship. But that natural instinct was being used for the corporate expansion plans. Top marks for letting the BK and their senior see the reality of their humanity ... or service worthiness in BK terms. If his ego was involved, he will be panicking now. I know, my BK ego took bashings when I helped organize events and no one turned up too!!!
One other thing to mention, which I mentioned in another topic, the BKs operate like a little secret service; so if one of them sreads something on the internet, it will whispered across the world to other BKs and worked down through their communication trees. Some of these are ultra-secret, encrypted channels only Seniors have access to. Sometimes they make little groups to work on problems like these. Now, there is nothing to be frightened on a physical level. But expect to be facing or confronting more than one mind or pair of hands. The BKs are VERY "us and them". You would have been labelled a serviceable "contact soul", e.g. a non-BK associate who does not have The Knowledge nor has been initiated but someone that is useful for service. That is what their side of the relationship is about.
It is very sad but they cannot really have human friendships at all. That is seen as "attachment" and bad for their spiritual growth. Of course, what you will discover is that the Seniors do or ARE allowed to carry on friendships. But again especially when the are useful for sources of information or "service contacts". To be honest, I would go as far to say it is impossible to trust
most BKs as they do not own their own minds any more. It is their job to exploit every relationship, every opportunity for the BKWSU's global expansion plans.
