But the fact that they are connected to a cult vastly diminishes their credibility based on all the facts that have been discovered and documented on this forum.
I had a look at the links and the Marneta Vegas video and site.

Says it all, does not it? No, actually, it does not.
What I take from it first is how the power of wealth is used to impress ... the big country house in the background, the marvelous stairs and how the BKWSU are obviously sanctioning the commercialisation of spirituality. They have their god's picture on the wall ... why would one non-BK be allowed to rent their property and not ANY non-BK? I suspect the answer is that it is good for the BKWSU's business ... they are desperate for any facade that adds value and distracts from their real message.
The kids are, essentially, being enculted ... "groomed" in pedophiliac terms ... into Brahma Kumarism at a level children could be. It is a skill and business that was developed out of children's classes at the BKWSU.
The other phenomena we see are all these co-relational business interests being set up around the temple of Brahma Kumarism. It takes us back to the Biblical stories of Jesus having to kick out the money lenders from the synagogues in his day. How do we interpret that?
Is it the normalisation of Brahma Kumarism ... is it a continued insidious invasion of society ... is it a deterioration in standards and a contradiction of their own teachings ... or is it just a confidence of the leadership after having accomplished the creation of their own financial security?
What all the undemocratic "strictness" before really just about that ... the Brahma Kumari leadership ensuring that they became financially secure at others cost by, for example, stepping into the position of gurus over their flocks?
