Yet another Brahma Kumari website ... this time About Brahma Kumaris. In this case, it appears to be set up very much to answer the critical revelations made here, and other places, about them. It touches on all the issue which we have raised into the public eye,
It's fairly shocking ... it also demonstrates why neophyte BKs, and BK supporters, have such a strong reaction against what is proven here; if this is how they indoctrinate them.
Here an example, with BK old hand Anthony Strano dodging the question, speaking the opposite to the truth and making it appear, "oh so r-e-a-s-o-n-a-b-l-e". I don't know if he has ever read the early original teachings but he's certain sat through 30 odd years of Sakar Murlis and so he knows what they say. If it is true that everyone is at a different level, then poor old Lekhraj Kirpalani and others must have been at a very low level.
Anthony Strano repeats the typical BK half truth that their god spirit has never give a date for the End of the World ... a "truth" which is true to the extent of a day or month ... but false to the extent of a specific year or few years. I guess he knows about the 1976 because he came into Gyan shortly after and he would certainly have to remember the 1986 (50 years plus 50 years) prediction.
How do you think he comes across? I've never heard "Live for today, tomorrow will take care of itself" being said. What I heard was "Destruction, Destruction, Destruction ... Inheritance, Inheritance, Inheritance."
Why "interpret" when one can read the actual words? Oh, because the BKs keep the actual words hidden, and then change them.
Unsurprisingly, given the build up to this, Professor Frank Whaling is included showing how much he really does not understand the Brahma Kumaris. They use him to fudge up the Destruction issue again without actually mentioning the 5,000 years of time (How would you explain the Brahma Kumaris' views on time and an end to the world) and repeats their usual PR response on regarding money.
It's quite remarkable the way he says exactly what they do.
- • BK suicide (and finally admit them)
• Cult accusations
• Finances (withouth giving anything away about how much they have)
• Child sex abuse (admitting but quoting one of the individuals who dragged their heels in the cover-up of it for 5 years)
• the Bhaibund Om Mandli Committee book,
• Breaking up families and destroying individuals real world education
• "End of the World" -ism and so on.
It does not credit that much of the emphasis to resolve such issues and establish 'duty of care' procedures etc came from outside of the cult.

Well, knowledge is given but how people interpret it is going to be different.
You see, every organisation is made up of people, and people are going to be of different levels, there are going to be different quality of understanding and so you are going to get different opinions but actually the original teachings never pinpointed an actual date of destruction. Even some teachers might have said this particular date.
In the original teachings, what it emphasised was change yourself today because what is important is today. Tomorrow will take care of itself. And what we have to destroy are actually those habits that interfer in our happiness and having proper communications with others. I destroy my fearfulness. I destroy aspects of my selfishness. I destroy aspects of my anger. Otherwise, how things are going to be transformed? Transformation means a returning and a remembering the original. And so what we first have to destroy are the old habits inside our self that we feel release, so that we can find liberation and freedom.
