Dear Tete,
I have been reading your posts since months with interest and respect. But please allow me to ask - without wanting to hurt your feelings - frankly to you, i cannot understand why you are putting these incredible videos and posts of children abuse + violence against women and children issues in some cults and in some traditions in front of our noses in this forum. I think, the subject of this forum is written in the headline very clearly: "Independent discussion of life in and after the BKWSU."
Of course, I understand that your heart is bleeding thinking about these issues you write and want to link our attention to them.
Do you want us, members of his forum to engage us in children's + women rights activities? In that case, next to the issues you mentioned, we cannot leave out issues like; "trafficking of children and women", "slavery and prostitution of children and women", "violence against children in prisons of the third world", "violence against women and children in Iraq", "violence against women and girls in Afghanistan", "organ trafficking", "violence against prisoners in Iraq", "human rights violations in Guantanamo" and so on. Of course we can do this ... but in that case we should change the name of the Forum.
Do you think we are too much involved in BKWSU's "minor"(!) problems and are forgetting all violence going on against children and women and, of course, against men in the world? Even without looking at these videos, reading your recent posts and surfing a little in the links you give, is enough to consider - from the surface- that BKWSU is the most innocent cult of the world.
The methods BKWSU practising are of invisible violence and are very subtle. After few months entering into one center's door and taking the course, one extremely independent young or old, male or female free spirit human being can became a surrendered smiling slave of BKWSU, renouncing his children, wife, husband, other family members and friends, giving up his or hers study, renouncing good jobs, sports, cultural events like cinema, TV, concerts, theater, reading good books, newspapers, any relationship of love and intimacy, any close human friendship in the center or outside of the center, giving away his or hers pets, closing his or hers eyes to all problems of his + hers own family and to all wrong things going on in the center and in the BKWSU world and in general in the world and just obeying the orders of the Seniors blindfolded like zombies. But, of course, with good food and without toxic stuff, healthy smiling zombies with emotional suppression.
I think concentrating on this Forum's subject, i.e. sharing our experiences and thoughts from our BK life and about life in BKWSU and trying to help others who are still trapped in the invisible subtle chains of BKWSU, to open their eyes and to see what is going on in the BKWSU and in themselves, for their own goodness, is very noble and enough to deal with.
For other tragedies happening in the world there are so many children rights and human rights forums which you know, which I myself, like most of us, am joining in different issues with my real identity.
