Somewhat overshadowed by the death of Anthony Strano on the 25th of July, I also note that Joy Genese from London, UK is also dead. She died on the 23rd of July 2014.
She was around in London just before Anthony was enculted into the BKs.
As Joy lived in the UK, we should be able to see any Will she left and whatever the BKs got from her. BKs might just be worth more to them dead than alive. It's a wonder they are not targeting old folks homes for new members. Or perhaps I should not give them ideas?
I remember her as a very quiet, well mannered, sensitive individual.
I note quite few BKs listed in their "transitions" pages all went into lokik nursing or care homes as I know a few older Western BKs also go into local government housing for the elderly. The BKs have not worked out a way to care for their old, having encouraged them to have no family and expend their lives on them rather than building up a pension fund. Therefore where the welfare state exists, the costs fall back upon society and do not come out of the BKs' coffers.
Why I mention the Wills of BKs is that I dare say they do go into the BKs' coffers.
The Christians say
The BK leaders say, "God has given us two hands - one to receive with and the other to receive with too". In the UK, the BKs claim their charity has been set up to "alleviate poverty". We presume they mean their own poverty having arrived in the UK with nothing and now owning a Palladian mansion in the country which, it has to be said, is not exactly overflowing with poor people. It's not even overflowing with sick and dying BKs either.

Sr Joy Genese from London, UK
25 July 2014
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Greetings of love. Sr Joy Genese from London, Baba's child for 40 years flew away from her body on the morning of Wednesday 23rd July at 5.20am. She was aged 83. Joy had been in hospital for 9 weeks before moving to a nursing home just over a week ago. She was admitted to hospital with an advanced stage of cancer.
Joy came to Baba when she was working at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Deniseben, who was also working there became the instrument to bring her to Baba. As Joy had been hearing Gyan at work she insisted on coming straight for Murli without formally doing the course. She understood the Murli straight away!
Joy has been a pillar of Baba's work abroad since 1974. She was part of a group of 12 that Sr Jayanti took to Madhuban in 1975. Baba came especially to meet the group on the 2nd August 1975. In that meeting Baba said: Service in the foreign countries is the main foundation for the Kumbhakarnas of Bharat to awaken through the sound from abroad. This is the aim and object of service in the foreign lands. It is the service in the foreign countries that will glorify the sound of the Godly revelation in Bharat. The foreigners are instruments for this task. Why the service in the foreign lands is the main basis or the foundation is that it is fixed within the drama for the sound from the foreign countries to reach Bharat. Joy always wanted to fulfil BapDada's wishes.
From the beginning, Joy was absolutely dedicated to Baba and the Yagya with body, mind and wealth. In 1979, when Baba Bhawan opened in North West London she often came from central London on the night bus for Amrit Vela. Dadi Janki has often remembered Joy as an example of one who has an elevated stage, passing through obstacles with grace and dignity. Even in the last weeks in hospital, despite her discomfort, her face was always shining.
Joy was involved in service from the very beginning making contacts in the media and other fields including high profile scientists and celebrities. In the past few years she served on the Murli team and was a regular server in the office until about three months ago.
With the passing of our Sister Joy, it is the passing of an era. We know that Baba will be holding the soul in His lap and surrounding her with unlimited love.
The cremation of the body will take place on Wednesday 30th July. The first part of the ceremony will be at 2.30pm at Diamond House followed by the service and cremation at 3.45pm at the West London Crematorium, Harrow Road, London, W10 4RA.
I am sure many of you will want to honour such a special soul, either by being present or by sending your good wishes from a distance. A photo of Joy is attached.
With love and regards,
in Baba's Yaad,
BK Jayanti
