I wish only that every BK adherent was as grounded as you. I suspect most of those that can read do believe it as true, as it is reinforced on a regular basis by the great charlatans like Jank Kirpalani, who has had her own history whitewashed too.
Funny you mention Robert Shubow. He obviously learned a lot from being in the Brahma Kumaris and is marketing his own neo-vedantic religion now as Shunyamurti. Sat Yoga Institute.
We discussed it before but he seems to have developed it a lot since then. I am not saying it is bad, to be honest, it looks like a very attractive lifestyle. But it is all very similar.
An interesting recent post How to Profit From the End of the World ... well, the BKs have been doing that since the 1940s by making false predictions which are quickly hidden once they fail.
