Admin note: add to the following post 30 October 2008
This direction of this forum has recently changed and it is specifically for ex-BKs, exiting Brahma Kumari followers and the friends & family of BKs.
For the first two years of its existence, this Forum acted as an independent, open and ecumenic discussion forum for all individuals interested or effected by the so-called Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University; a cultic and strictly millenarianistic (End of the World) religious movement which believes it has a certain monopoly on "God", who speaks in person through its psychic mediums.
The moderators sought to encourage dialogue to address problems, promote positive change and to accurately document the nature of the Brahma Kumaris leadership, their teachings and the lifestyle; not present a PR version to the world. We believe we have done so.
We believe we have sufficiently achieved that aim and are now changing our focus to support the victims of the organization, past, present and future; and to focus on outreach to other organizations that the Brahma Kumaris seek privileges from, usually under the veil of deception.
Previous discussions have been archived into read only forum for the sake of study. There is a new discussion forum for BK and PBK believers at;
BK-PBK.Info is independent from this site and no longer ex-BK run.

Hello. Today I found a change in the format of the forum with the BK, PBK and splinter groups sections being grouped in a separate block. Apart from this, some sections (including BK/PBK/splinter groups) have been clubbed together to form a 'forum for followers' or 'forum for believers'. But I found that the posts made in the BK/PBK Section of the main forum are not being reflected in the same sections of 'forum for followers'. So, do we have to make same posts in both the fora?
I would like to suggest that it would be better if only one of these two groups are retained to avoid any confusion. If members wish to see the BK/PBK sections they can click on the link 'forum for followers'.
Thanks for your efforts to streamline the various sections.
Regards,
OGS,
