I've touched on the subject to various people at our centre (and other nearby centres), who are pretty free thinkers as BKs go, and very few of them feel as strongly as I do about it.
Your concern is very refreshing to hear.
where some suggested that the mistranslations were either unimportant or not mistranslations at all but sanctioned by Baba. However, no one had an official line on it.
For Baba to sanction it, surely that must be written down as well. Who says Baba sanctioned it and what is the proof?
They felt that getting worked up about it wasn't going to lead to a solution and that you need to find a way to work within the system.
Why work within the system? Is it because if anyone makes too much noise they will be ex-communicated or something? Is there a BK mafia system?
With the exception of a handful of people, no one else felt that there was anything insidious about the revisions.
Without knowing what the changes were, how could they know whether it is important or not?
If this is the only time we get to hear the untainted work directly from God, I cannot begin to understand how anyone can simply accept this. As much as I know it's not terribly soul conscious to feel this way, I am disgusted by the acceptance of doctoring of the Murli.
I think it is very soul conscious to feel that way. If you believe it is God's word then it should be protected and not changed.
