Whatever we say about the BKs, along the way I met some really fantastic people who passed through the BK 'family'. However, tragically, some great souls that I met were so overwhelmed by the trauma of failure, guilt and confusion that they took their own lives. If there was ever a case of an organisation not taking responsibility for its actions, it has to be this. Rather than responding with concern, compassion and a clear strategy, there has only been cover ups and dismissal.
There is no acknowledgement of this tragedy. There is no feeling even. Just, 'fortune, drama' and other pathetic excuses. What these souls must have gone through, their suffering, must have been extreme. I think the least we can do is publically acknowledge them, and to put the issue in the public domain.
I am inviting anyone who can, to acknowledge the BK's they knew who took their own lives, to remember them. And to help in our quest to see that it was not for a hopeless cause - that the BKs will learn to take care, that they will learn what it means to be 'Godly'.
There are three BKs I would like to remember here:
