It is simple Paula.
Well, that is pretty much how we feel about what the Brahma Kumaris are doing. For us, the BK suicide is yet more evidence of what we are talking about ... and what is Easton position? Seemingly to ignore it, and increase his threats. I don't even see how we have criticised his work. All we have criticized is his promotion of the Brahma Kumaris without adequate warnings.
The state of mind the Brahma Kumaris have been putting people in is exceptional. Fear of a perpetually imminent 'End of the World' called "Destruction", eternal damnation or failure if one is unwilling or unable to conform to their demands, and the separation of individuals from their families.
It is beyond the ordinary pressures that we all experience in life, at some point or another. And, on top of this, we have discovered that they have been involved in numerous and significant cover ups about their past.
When that world view fails, and the ex-BK individual comes to question what they have been doing, they are taken into a very, very dark place with few to no avenues of support ... except, of course, one being this forum.
We here, and this site, have acted to change the BKWSU through our open discussing and documentation. They have had to change because we have uncovered their deception and their failures of duty of care, such as the child abuse.
I am afraid that until you know Brahma Kumarism better, you will not understand fully our feelings. Personally, I don't think in your state you should be following this forum because the issues involve are too emotional for you.
- If you were a company and had a product which was killing people, you would pull it off the shelf, would not you?
You would not sell it and you would not advertise it.
If it was exceptionally valuable, like a drug, you might research why it was not working and killing people. You would remove the element that was, alert professionals, and put up warnings ... would not you?
Of course you would.
