You have become a PBK John and ought to change your group!
In my day ... anyone that the center-in-charged liked. It was entirely random. I was not formally checked out, trained up or anything. I went from teaching at my local center to the region HQ without any formal review. There were no special classes/courses for teachers either.
In fact, they were pretty desperate to have any teachers, anybody teaching the classes at all because it was so hard to find BKs that were will to do it.
It might have changed these days, I do not know. But probably not in smaller centers. Yes, I'd tell them about Jesus, the Dinosaurs, the End of the World, the whole works. If they were keen, I might string it out to 8 or 9 classes and do the Murlis as well. I had some great students and they had some great/weird/wonderful freaky psychic experiences too. We taught the course straight back then.
Aye, I remember the old days ... when a BK were a BK and yo' all got to meet God on top of a hill in India personally. None of this "executive leadership" nonsense and blessing by the busload.
