Your question is by all means valid, Pinko (please, indicate if the familiarity is felt offending ), and I think no one here is formally entitled to soul-counselling. I am not very much convinced in my own abilities, but as you have pointed our the intention also has its role, and even if I just keep silent when others, more experienced people are doing their job, it is also some form of silent participation.
I would say, all the way a person involved in BK/PBK has to have the feeling that at each step he is making a conscious choice to follow, and not through some pressure or habit and that every moment he is free to leave without any further harm involved. If there is some feeling of guilt in the person i think he is not ready. For me, he should be able to name clearly his reasons and be happy to leave. Anyway is some feeling of guilts is imposed on him through others i think he needs protection.

The advantage of having all the Murlis in 'text only' form is that they can be then put into a searchable databases, which has always been my hope/aim. They are also small files to send. The BKs use of locked PDFs is criminal.
I don't know if I can give you all of the email, as most of them are private and I have no permission to do so, but I think I could set up a public mailing list with them, especially for such a service, if you are interested? Please let me know. I would be happy to do so.
Yes, you always have to check, but if the reading is done of text pdf it reads pretty well, with very few, or even without mistakes. It makes much more mistakes when it reads a scanned pdf, but it still reads it. I don't know if and how these work with Hindi.
I think it is fair that emails are not passed, but if people give permission they can be even passed. What do you mean by public mailing list BTW? I don't understand. If it will make the emails public then I think it would not be fair. There is nothing wrong in keeping things private. We are not doing something wrong, but even if we do something good, we would spoil it by showing off.

I want to circulate information to all BK's as to how they ruined my life and caused a death in my family and trapped my family member and how they lied to us and how hungry they are after our properties.
Will you? Bk_Victim.
You are challenging me to show that I would not give these. Why not? I could even send your letter myself. I could state that this is one former BK's letter he has something to say, this way they will more likely read it and pay attention to it, otherwise it could be considered as spam. Even with permission I could give you the emails, or even without permission. If the information is factual it will be eye opener. But how can I have hundreds of thousands of emails?
I have taken BK emails from a list of all centers worldwide. These are also available on the BK site. I think they will not be more than 200. Even if I prepare a mailing list of non-BK people and friends of friends it will hardly be of few hundreds. I have few friends in BK, these are not much more than 5 people, but anyway I don't think greater numbers bring greater result. Even a single person, if he is the right one, makes a lot of difference. Then if everyone passes on the word, everyone has his own list of aquaintances, the word spreads. A single person cannot do everything.
This is a new site I did not know. This is something. They are publishing the Avyakt Murlis on youtube and also on written now. But the Sakar Murlis they only publish the question and answer, essence, blessing, slogan, that are all additions.
Raistlin has suggested they don't do so because if one compares the Murlis with older versions he could see them edited. It sounds very reasonable. My guess is ego. Once you have issued an ordinance, although you may later find it is not appropriate you have to insist on it, because your authority will be compromised. I anyway think that it has started as security measure, something like shrendering the trash, that has been mentioned.
