OK, here's an interesting experiment ...
Please help us to get deep into the BKWSU organization.
Can you tell us the Brahma Kumaris total financial income and how they spend it? Where can we see or access their over all financial accounts? Are the BKs' hiding them?
And I mean *all of the money* ... and the cash-cash donations and jewellery etc ... not just what they put through their books.
I know you won't give us it. I doubt the BK leadership will tell you either. Both you and they will come up with all sorts of excuses and counter-accusations, but let's try just to establish your integrity.
It's amazing ... you only took Gyan around the Year 2000, when Didi was telling all the BKs the world was going to end and for all the centres to stock up on food and water because Vinash was about to come. I wonder how many BKs made extra donations that year?
As far as the accusations that we are "hiding our true identity and none would come forward", the BK leaderships all over the world knows who we are. Before we left, we all tried to make positive changes within the BKWSU, I was particularly sickened by all their VIP chasing whilst refusing to allow us to do real charity. We wasted our time and then finally gave up.
This is an accusation of anonymity, that individual BKs come up with time and time again, is so common that I guess it is something the leadership is telling them think. It's false.

The most simple illustration I can make is that it is like wearing two left hand shoes.
Yes, some of BK life is very comfortable. Yes, the "shoes" are quite well made ... but after a while wearing two left hand shoes starts to hurt and become naggingly uncomfortable. You know something is wrong and can never forget it.
You cannot change the BK. That is just the way they are. Either you get used to it and give up and accept it, or you have to leave.
Most of us here have had *long* experiences with the BKs, and lived very close to the Seniors who are now the top leaders. Please trust us, we have seen inside and tried to change it, and now some of us try to change it from outside ... stopping it hurting and damaging others, especially families.
People here remember when they were telling the world was going to end in 1976, 1986, 1986 to 1996, Year 2000 ... every time Destruction was going to come, the center took more donations and more free labor from its mental slaves. Destruction did not come.
They are still running the same scam business, and now turning their centres into shop.
Actually, things were nicer back in the old day, it was more like a family and less like a corporation. It was more innocent and pure. And, of course, they had not done so many nasty things and manipulated people so their spirits were purer too.
For some, the BKWSU will satisfy because it has nice 'middle class' or 'business class' retreat centres to use, etc. They like it because it feeds their ego and makes them feel more special. But, if you ask me, the BKWSU lost its spirit a long ago.
Now the BKWSU is a power pyramid where a few live off the backs of the many. It needs to suck in so much money and free labor to sustain it and it only gives a tiny fraction - the least amount possible - and mostly utterly pointless stuff ... like framed pictures to miserable corrupt politicians and stupid but rich industrialists.
If you are impressed by stories of which VIP which Senior Sister had her photo taken with, you will enjoy the BKWSU.
