Yes, Jann, exactly. Has this one been swept under the carpet now? I feel for those people who wrote this letter. An enormous act of courage if you're still inside looking out. But no understanding of politics. They're not celibate, they're impotent.
Mao once said, "Political power comes from the barrel of a gun". The BKWSU will only change when it feels threatened. And another quote, "It always comes down to the money". Threaten the wealth of the BKs and they'll respond with producing a couple of scapegoats and make a few cosmetic changes, and then continue on. They've been doing this for a long time.
Religious fervour usually means suppression of natural sexual instincts. Suppress those and sexuality becomes deviant. Religious orders become the hunting grounds of sexual predators of all persuasions. BKs are no different to any other religion in this. But celibacy is against the natural order of things. It's a perversion. And presenting sex as the perversion is mind bending. And every cult knows, manipulating sexuality is a powerful tool in mind control.
Sex guarantees the survival of the species. It's as powerful a need as food and water. Forget about cabbage leaves, storks, "pure" conception and other fairy stories - sex drives us. Stuff about with that, repress it, twist it, and you'll create monsters. But don't expect the BK's to make any significant changes - that would require acknowledging they are wrong, and when did the BKs ever admit to being wrong about anything? They're divine, after all.
Just ask Janki.
