I think the psychology aspects are the main ones - this is the only information we have that has any connection to scientific research. This is something that is scoffed at by BK's - "what do scientists know - God is telling us ... whatever". This is what makes the BKs a cult - exclusive knowledge that is superior to any other knowledge, that only the chosen ones get to even know about.
According to Shrimat a good student will never read or study anything that is not from the Murli. This is the basis of cult belief, cult thinking.
Whenever I have conversations with any of the BK Seniors I feel like I am stuck in a time warp. It would be an almost identical conversation to 20 years ago - minds and thinking paralysed by indoctrination, Murli quotes, and statistics - students, centres and public programs. There is nothing new in their thinking, no evolution, no new concepts. Just the same old dogma.
And I fully agree with you about choices. We have none as a BK. You may be led to believe that you do. Dadi Janki said that the BKs aren't a cult because you can leave anytime you like. Well really? Such hypocrisy. It is this hypocrisy, and blatantly misguided purpose, that has caused the deaths of too many people. Keep in mind the theme of this string - this cult causes trauma and death.
