Whether it be on the basis that we begin to understand the ramifications of the posts we make; become more appreciative of the information we find and learn how to best use that information (leaving it alone included) or our efforts may simply provide impetus for suitably qualified individuals/groups to take a wider interest in the BKWSU.
I must say that I have no direct knowledge of either how the law works in this area nor specific incidents or allegations. I can only make a moral judgement but, morally, I personally do think the BKWSU has acted typically dishonestly in the filing and exploitation of the charity registration. How that works out legally, I have no idea.
Where individuals have specific, detailed information, then they should document and expose it and avoid making broad allegations that might only bring themselves and the Forum into disrespute or difficulties. Having said that, I can see and I do know second hand of immense "grey areas" in the structure and accounting of the BKWSU internationally that they will now be forced to resolve - as I am sure they have individuals pouring over this forum looking for such allegations.
My reservations about the BKWSU and its leaders are not legal, they are spiritual. And in the spiritual war, fought on Kurukshetra, it comes down to each and every one of us to take a stand, not go off running to some other Daddy expecting them to sort it out. You might say, I have less faith in legal process and "laws of the land" than I do consciousness and karma ... but, if there are crimes being committed, it is to the conscience of those that have knowledge and witness of them to do what their conscience tells them and not be afraid for superstitious reasons. And that is the best that any lowly blue charioteer can tell his superiors.
If the leaders of the BKWSU turn out to be exercising false spiritual authority then falling to such worldly limitation will be a good reminder of their humanity, protect others from abuse and, ultimately, be good for the personal development of both the accusor and the accused. I do think that the leadership have enjoyed guru-like unaccountability for their actions for too long and that the general rank and file of their army, who are aware of such things, are bound by fear and confusion not the love of them.
And that is pretty strong fighting talk, really.
