Hi Bansy,
Good poll idea. I voted no because I have been to Madhuban but I refused the offer to go again to meet BapDada and to be given a ring. So yes, I have been to Madhuban, but no, I have not met BapDada, unless you count a webcast as a meeting.
It was at that very point that I realised that I was being brainwashed and psychically manipulated. I think now that if I had gone ahead and gone to the meeting and the ring ceremony I would have been in much deeper trouble. I was a BK for a little over a year, and that was enough brainwashing for me. Because I did not take the full commitment I was saved from a long haul of getting myself out again. My advice to anyone would be, "Don't go to see BapDada, and don't accept a ring." Doing these things will bind you to the BKs. I would have had much more of a difficult time getting out from the BKs if I had done these things.
That said, I do also know ex-BKs who had only started to doubt Gyan after their BapDada meeting and getting their ring. Howiemac told me this is very common, the BKs think they will get you in and committed by this method, but it sometimes has the opposite effect. Howie told me about throwing his ring in the sea. Best place for it. If I wear a ring at all it is my wedding ring, which shows my commitment to my marriage with my wife.
