i would say that a high proportion of the posts on this site express a bitterness towards the BKs and that the reason for this is that the most regular posters seem to have had a bad experience with the BKs that resulted in them leaving. Hence i often leave this site feeling its a bit one dimensional. i think this is a shame as i agree in principle with a lot of what is said here. Because of this, i do get a bit concerned that if someone was contemplating becoming a BK, and their research led them to this site, a lot of the points raised here might be ignored due to this blatant bias.
If there was a BK forum, i would imagine most of the posts would be about how wonderful the BKs were and how the organisation had been a positive influence in their life etc etc. This would also be one dimensional and equally useless a guide about the organisation.
The main agendas i have picked up from this site are;
I have not picked up any agendas that are supportive of an individual who might be meditating, i find this a bit odd considering this site is called brahmakumaris.info.
My conclusions about the site are that if you want a place to moan about the BKs, then this is an excellent place to come. Don't be put off from the moans though as beneath the bitterness there are some good points that are being raised. My hopes for the site are that more BKs will post here which would give the whole site a more balanced and multidimensional feel.

The main agendas i have picked up from this site are;
- make the Sakar Murlis available
remove any editing of the Murlis that may have occurred
expose how the organisation is allegedly ammending their philosophy
expose the organisations alleged mind control techniques
expose the organisations alleged movement from soul consciousness to image consciousness (into media whore)
