The whole world is raging a relentless war against drugs and narcotics, which have severe negative effects on people's mental health and wellbeing.
The question is, are not certain cults teachings as damaging as these drugs and have negative mental consequences in the long run ... ??
Let us take Brahma Kumaris cult teachings as an example, and study their effect and influence on BK followers and their families. The near hallucination episodes he or she goes through could lead to mentally and emotionally destructive results and produce distorted personalities.
Most of the Euoropean governments have classified BK cult as DANGEROUS, and the Greek government have gone a step further by classifying it as an ENEMY OF THE STATE.
However, and with full respect to human rights, beliefs and freedom of expression, is it not high time that governments step in to protect their citizens and declare these dangerous cults such as BK "ENEMIES OF ALL SOCIETIES" ??
