I understand what you mean. Try and find one record of a BK, especially a BK leader, apologising sincerely for all that has happened. Try to find one official acknowledgement ... you won't.
To apologise sincerely, to repent, would be to stop doing that which causes harm. The BKs can say anything and then go back to doing what they have always done ... but it's not for moreclearernow to apologise for their crimes. However, considering them and going back to the BKs to discuss them would be evidence of sincerity or intention.
I recently saw the BKs offering panipuri during their 7 days bhatti program. It reminds me the day when I was taught that eating PANI PURI is like the slavery of your tongue ... the newer generation is doing the same which was prohibited 10-15 years back.
That is very true. The BKs were far more sincere in their efforts to be yogis and renunciates 10 - 20 - 30 years ago ... but I guess part of the change is just down to wealth. They have more money now so they indulge more. They want to attract more wealthy followers, so they offer more comforts to attract them. It's all evidence of decline.
And then the Seniors were usually fed different and better dishes than the followers or BK servants. They had all kinds of luxuries during the Om Mandli period and now they have all kinds of luxuries thanks to wealthy followers and never worked a day in their lives.

The problem is not with people "saying positive things" about the BKs, the problem is with the lack of hard fact, logic and overview, and acceptance of the problems. Respect has to be earned.
The trouble with most BKs or BK apologists who come on here is that they want to defend the BKWSU to an irrational degree. Essentially, if they could, they want to suppress any critical talk about the BKWSU. I can only think of one BK who has actually said, "my goodness, this is serious, we have to stop/change/correct this". None of the rest of them have been able to accept the seriousness of what we have discovered, considered the ethical aspect of it, or even ... as with the Open Murli project ... offered to assist and even benefit other BKs.
The words "positivity" and "negativity" have taken on a different definition within the BK movement (
at least in the West, I don't know Hindi/India); positing meaning 'what conforms to our leaders marketing spin', and negativity meaning 'anything questions our claims, ethics and marketing or deviates from the marketing spin'.
Therefore "saying positive things", and most BKs' conduct, boils down to a sort of facade of desperate promotional advertising in denial of a tidal wave of crap looming up behind it. They come on unwilling to start to face reality and, instead, attempting to cover up or attack us.
I find reality and realism to be very positive. Looking at and accepting the way things as a springboard to change is a very positive step; living in denial, or with your head in the clouds being doolally, is highly negative ... as is giving over your entire body, soul and wealthy to the insane and dishonest Brahma Kumari leaders. Back on topic, I remember listening to some BKs telling me how BKs "purify" their bathwater with their vibrations and how all that bathwater every morning, going down the drains, must be "purifying the elements" (world) around them. Honestly. 100% as reported.
I accept this is not an "official" opinion but it is evidence of the kind of mind and talk that goes on within the BK movement.
Logically, the same arguments must apply to BKs pee and poo. Surely all that BKs pee and poop must be *full* of positive, pure vibrations. Consider it ... 1,000,000 BKs producing 2 ltrs of pee and 1 kg of poop full of positive vibrations going out into the elements every day.
It's a wonder they don't try and sell Dadi Jankis to put it on one's roses.
