They look very happy and close to each other. What's the lowdown (the inside facts) on them?
How many BKs are there in Poland ... what is the general atmosphere like?
I really know nothing about the BKWSU in East European.

Oh, yes. Lucyna (spelling?). We heard a little from her. I understand she had a really tough time mentally, as well as socially from the BKs, and is now out of the PBKs too. PBKism exists as a sort of 'decompression chamber' for some BKs allowing them to take one step out of the BK mind set and start thinking and questioning again. Although I am not a PBK, I think many of the questions the PBKs ask, and anomalies and controversies in the teachings they point out, are perfectly correct; and the way the BKs respond to them says much about the true nature of BKs ... (it's not pretty).
There was also this ... BK Leader Halina Paradela Sex Allegations reported by PBK.

I met Lucyna personally in 2010. I was shocked when I heard her story. It is all true. We were exchanging a lot of e-mails about that. We were trying to stop that creepy and sick things, anomalies, and controversies, it almost came to a trial in the court, but finally it all dissolved and she was forced (by someone from the BK management I suppose), to close her blog.
For example, we made an "investigation" in which we came to the conclusions that the "Stowarzyszenie Edukacyjne Wartości Życia" society founded in Poland in 2008, is another facade for the BKWSU. It is a Polish wing of ALIVE/LVEP, and what more in the management there are the Seniors of the BKWSU Poland! One of which was BK Joanna Rękawek, a Secretary of the BKWSU Poland management.
IMHO, Halina Paradela should have been dismissed as a National Coordinator years ago and perhaps even expelled from the BKWSU (it would be a good example and made something good in clearing the atmosphere inside the organization), but it wouldn't be in a typical "sweeping dirt under the carpet" BK style. Neither Kumarka did not do it nor anybody from the Kirpalani clan won't do.
raistlin wrote:It is not a foolish accusation or a try to take a revenge on her. I have no reason to do it. I don't know Paradela personally, and really I am not against her, but I am talking about BK Halina Paradela, a National Coordinator of the BKWSU Poland, a leader and teacher and a student of BK Raj Yoga who had violated Shrimat committing the worst sin of all in the BK belief and still have no consequences at all! That's the problem!
