^^ yes nothing ever stays as it is. The only constant is indeed change. Not good or bad. Just IS. Very Zen hehe ... which makes a whole lot more sense to me than the BKs ever did. :biggrin: Now looking from the outside, I see that it is a grave yet oh-so typical human frailty to "need" to ...

And far less likely to question anything (however illogical) when you've put such a massively huge emotional investment in the Organisation. Just how likely are you to say to yourself "I admit it I was completely taken in out of a desperate need to 'belong somewhere' and I realised i was being ...

A religion?? Hang on a minute! I was told in no uncertain terms that the BKs are defintely NOT a religion; one love-bombed disciple I knew was so adamant on this point that he said he would never have had anything to do with them if they were a religion. And then about a year later (after persistent...

we must continue to be self-recollected. Only then can we become fully conscious. Only then can we liberate our minds and our heart and be in harmony with the whole. That's actually quite Zen, driedexbk :wink: Kind of like some of the stuff I am reading now. Makes a whole lot more sense to me than ...

^^Maybe because "Prajapita Brahma Kumaris" doesn't feel as Westernised-new-agey-touchy-feely as names such as Inner Space, Oxford Leadership Academy, etc and so might scare away those new initiates ... who cannot be allowed to realise (as least not @ first!) they're getting into some sort ...

Thank you ex-I very revealing indeed. If only the BKWSU could see some of the allegations hurled in their direction in an article I have come across entitled: "New York Brahma Kumaris Terrorists Connection and Behavior" they might slow down a little on all this "compelling need for g...

As anyone knows, he is Australian and to think that he could go to a country with a totally different culture than his own and tell them what is best for them, is rather shortsightness.

Re: If the evolution theory were true...

If the Evolution theory were true where will we end up. If the survival of the fittest was the law, such a species will come up that it will consist only of an armored reproductive organ with a fearsome mouth. Oi ... whaddya mean "if"! :lol: but that aside ;) ... The theory of "survi...

And then when they all stand together, and the rest of the BKs practise egolessness trying not to notice or be effected by what the size of their/other people's badges are. Hmmm/note to self: must now be 'badgeworthy' lol So I remember the "gold ring" policy, it used to 10 years - or quic...
