BKs about Brahma Kumaris Info
Posted: 05 May 2013
A rare honest comment from the BKs' own discussion forum ...
As usual, the BKs' grasp of reality is tenuous at best.
There is no rule which say, "no BKs". Any BK who was suspended, and there have only been a handful, had their accounts suspended because of their own personal conduct ... just as a very few ex-BKs have.
When this forum was first started, the intention was to create a neutral place where all parties could come together to objectively document the movement free from the censorship and revision of the BK Establishment, and to sort any problems out. It quickly became obvious that was impossible due to the tiresome, irrational and even vicious divisions between the BKs and various splinter groups (BKs versus PBKs) and their division on top of that (Vishnu Party versus PBKs). They destroyed the atmosphere and put ex-BKs off.
Then the official response of the BKWSU was to attempt to censor, suppress and destroy this forum by using legal threats and attacks. Why, after that, should we even welcome any BK who defends them? (Especially when leader of the legal action Hansa Raval's past became exposed).
It's not surprising to see that some corners of the BKWSU still think that way ... and think of the BKWSU as a corporation with exclusive trademarks.
The BKs have a huge budget, countless unpaid workers and volunteers, and numerous forums for their own expression. We decided to prioritise the victims and underdogs; the ex- and exiting-BKs, the 'friends and families of' etc. Those who were unsupported. If someone wants BK PR, they can find it all over the internet, we've decided to go for something deeper and truthful ... and, rest assured, we only document the tip of the iceberg as far as all the dirty, corruption and nonsense the BKs gets up to.
If BK EasyMeditation cares to specifically point out which claims they believe are inaccurate, or "lies" as they say, we'll be happy to look into the matter. I'd say brahmakumaris.info actually has a very, very high degree of accuracy and has forced the BKWSU to have to be more accurate as a response to criticism here.
The problem is, these people never do. They make vague attempt to discredit us but never back it up with details. The BKWSU has prepared numerous responses to try and down play what we expose here ... even falsely representing who we are and what our motivation is to their adherents.

I do NOT think that the best way to deal with the defaming forums is for BK to start talking about all historical facts with everyone and every new BK student. We can slightly change the way of presenting The Knowledge, removing the focus from destruction, for example (which I think already happened more than 5 years ago, but still at some centers there are teachers focusing on that).
I think particularly the site brahmakumaris.info should be closed, for some reasons: They are using BK name, which is copyright violation and a misleading title. And also I have already seen a lot of lies written there (not everything there is a lie, but a lot of things are). Not to mention BKs are not allowed to discuss there and are banned. I don't see why BK should feel in the duty of doing anything pressed by that kind of people. I think the first concern of BK should be to close that site by the legal means.
They want to highlight as much as possible some information, independently of being true or false, as long as it defames BK, using BK name, which brings lots of views from search engines such as google, and this is just wrong, I think they should be closed. Not to mention they speak in a very hateful way, call BKs psychopaths and things of the kind at just about every post. Something like that just shouldn't be taken seriously.

- BKs are not 'disallowed from discussing' here. What they are disallowed from doing is 'not discussing' here ... that is to say, "astroturfing" it with BK PR, or using it for sneaky behind the scenes sabotage or recruiting.
