Some of the questions I would like to ask veteran BKs or those who give the 7 day course would be the following:
- 1. Do you ever tell students about the child abuse cover up (no different from any other religion) from quite recently and advise them to give eromain’s epic a jolly good read before they proceed any further with this lifestyle change?
2. Do you tell students about the repeatedly revised population figures or do you just say nothing and hope they never find out about it all till they're in too deep to be shaken by the shame of such a u-turn?
3. Do you tell students about the re-editing of Murlis, do you tell them about the old Murlis that do not even exist, do you give them the full chronology, or do you even know yourself?
4. Do you ever mention the Shankar party, the whole history of the split and the bad feeling between the two warring factions?
5. Do you tell students about the 1976 non-event (and all the other false starts) or do you even have any solid information on it for them to churn?
6. Do you ever tell students about all those BKs and ex-bks who have given up careers over the years, who have opted out of college, who have taken up mundane occupations, advised to do so as time was short, "there’s only a few years left"?
7. Do you ever tell students about all those ex-BK’s who have donated thousands of pounds/rupees/dollars to the ‘university’ over the years but are not entitled to any kind of refund, even if destitute?
8. Do you ever tell students about the intense guilt they will almost certainly have to endure the more they commit to the movement? And do you ever tell students about those BK’s and ex-BK’s who have committed suicide?
9. Do you advise students to have a look at the ex-BK site on the internet for the sake of balance? Let face it, joining the BK's is a life-changing event, they need to be real sure that they are doing the right thing.
10. Do you still tell students of the benefits of after-bowel-movement-ablutions?
11. How soon do you tell them the benefits of sleep-deprivation?
12. Do you still tell people that Raja Yoga is not a religion? Are you not a bit embarassed spinning that one?
13. Do you remind students that there is not a reputable or even non-reputable scientist out there who's willing to back the wacky 5,000 year doctrine?
