I cannot remember, clearernow, did we actually clarify how much of a BK you actually are? I would find it hard to accept your manmat as an accurate or official view of the BKWSU unless I knew that you were truly pukka.
Too many demi-BKs have come on this forum defending the BKWSU but what they are really doing is defended their half-hearted adoption of BKism and, in a sense, shielding themselves from the realisation that they are not follow the Maryadas (principles) and so, hence, not very enlightened or having a low status within the Brahma Kumari hierarchy and in the future heaven on earth to come.
In short, they're nothing but servants or grave diggers from a BK point of view.
Look at what you are doing here, a typical Brahma Kumarism of ... blaming the followers.I think you're misrepresenting the BKWSU, and if you are going to carry on, it's time for you to go.
clearernow wrote:... So, in that sense, are Mayans then a Destruction obsessed civilization or is it the doomsday lovers, media, filmmakers and some followers that have misinterpreted and created a hype ... This is precisely what has happened in the BK world - the people obsessed with/wanting Destruction have focussed on only that aspect ...
It's bullsh*t because the whole Destruction hype at the core of the Brahma Kumaris has and is been driven by the leaders. It was pushed even *BEFORE* they first introduced the current object of your infatuation, the god figure of ShivBaba sometime around 1950. Wasn't it was Lekhraj Kirpalani's visions of a great Destruction which shook him to the core and inspired him?
BK supporters want to distract from the fact it was their god spirit and leaders who have been pumping Destruction down their followers throats for 75 years and blame the failures of the predictions on them and their misinterpretations. Well, we know that is not absolutely true ...
and the BKWSU is 25 years past their god's previous failed prediction.
Why the BKs, particularly in the West are now seeking to distract people from this is, partly, because they are preparing already for the next big failure ...
of heaven on earth not being established by 2036 ... and, partly, because of the unacceptability of the idea of an infallible "God" making failed predictions. In the West, people have higher expectations of God and enlightened intelligence. Doomsday cults are jokes, and not cool at all.
It's, however, fair to point out that newer-BK have little idea how Destruction obsessed the BKWSU was ... as the Murli messages are being so re-written as to hide it ... but, still, what goes on inside the BKWSU is much difference than what they like to present to the outside world.
To the best of my knowledge, no, the Maya leaders did not, like Sister Jayanti Kripalani and others did and do, constantly encourage followers to believe Destruction is in two to three years ... and we know even just last season, the BapDada was asking whether he should 'hit the button' to enthusiastic yesses from the audience.
It strikes me you must be following some other religion than Brahma Kumarism.
