However, I have also experienced aggressive nature from the surrendered Sisters and Brothers ...

I was talking about aggressive/angry behaviours in a family ... If a family member shows it, it's wrong; if a BK family members shows it, it's even more wrong.

Jumping to conclusions is a cognitive disorder when a person continually believes, without proof, what another person is thinking of someone else. In the mind of the afflicted person, the prediction of emotions is already a fact and does not need verification. The distortion is akin to believing you are able to read minds and predict the ‘feelings’ of others. You assume you know why people behave and act the way they do.
World's richest pilgrimage place is Tirupati in India : It is estimated that the annual gold offerings associated with the Tirupati Balaji temple are over 3000 Kg per year. In a current survey, the annual income of The Venkateshwara Temple was estimated to be around Rs 700 crore and this figure includes Rs 150 Crore made by selling the 'quick darshan' that VIP passes of entering the temple which gives a speedy entry to the shrine of Lord. The revenue from sale of Laddos (Prasadam) is approx INR 11 Million per annum!

Normal rules of family conflicts do apply whenever there are problems in a family. We are not relationship counsellors here but for me first step to understanding behavioural issues in a family due to any cause (in this case BKism) is to understand both sides first before jumping to conclusions of what the root cause is.
Now coming to donations part, I don't think there is coercion in BKWSU about this and people are free to donate if they wish. As a matter of fact, this is much deep rooted in hinduism as donations for religious or spiritual cause is considered good karma ...

If you are comparing Brahmakumaris with Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams in regards of donation and its use, then I think you are fooling yourself ... !!!
As I always say Brahmakumaris are COPY CATS ... they have nothing of their own, they stole everything from ANCIENT HINDUISM concept. Their soul concept, meditation, satvik ahaar and vichaar everything is copied and today our dear friend moreclearnow admits that donation concept was also taken from HINDUISM ...

In BKWSU, it's indeed possible for people to go to any centre in the world without paying a fee ...

All Religions and most cults (including BK), claim that they came to existence for the "betterment" of human life, but whether they are doing a good job or not, is another big question ..!!
