And that scholar rejected BKism? (
He also did not know/understand BKism ... his comments re restoring Hinduism were incorrect).

How about in the sexual/emotional/relationship arena?
That you "revolted" suggests that not all was well in your family. What aspects were you revolting -
rejecting strongly, one presumes - about?
God is omnipresent ... all holocaust victims agree that Hitler was acting under the inspiration of God ... God is behind this forum and BK-ism?
Well, firstly, let us remember that for the first and most spiritually vigorous 20 plus years, Lekhraj Kirpalani and the Om Mandli believed that God was omnipresent ... which raises many questions about its methodology. They call it Divine Light. It was only around 1956 that they introduced a separate God Shiva.
I think you don't understand the concept of "god" as held by those who believe in its all pervasive presence which - as with your arithmetic abilities - make me question how "informed" you really are?
Presumably, you are "informed" about geology, archeology, world history; you might have even seen fossils and evidence of dinosaurs, as a psychiatrist you might have has a reasonable background in physics, and so on. Have your renounced being informed to become a BK, or still read journals and newspapers, eg.
160,000-year-old hominin fossil found.
I'll come back to your personal experiences shortly, however, a day or two ago, I asked you how the photons travelling from distance stars, stars more than 5,000 light years away, stopped, then travel backwards in space, to start again, to fit within the BK concept of time (the perfect repetition of the universe).
Another simple problem we ask is, how do the BKs remove the flag and all of the junk left on the moon and in space, even that orbiting out of our solar system ... in order that all of their materials are back in the same place, deep underground, to be mined and moulded to be sent back out into space next Kalpa?
You know the god of the BKs' theory of how the world is purified by nuclear war and restored to an atomically identically state every 5,000 years ... then explain how.
If every Kalpa 10,000 of tonnes of metals are sent out into space, and not replaced, then in relatively few cycles, there would be no metals left on earth. Ditto, if they are not removed, space would become full of them.
If you can start to address such simple issues, then I will respond back to you about personal issues. However, I will say now that I too supported the BKs for many years after I left *because* of exactly the same facade as you have highlighted. The facade of a "religiously" disciplined "Brahmanic" life.
I, too, used to say that I no longer believed in BKism but at least I thought they lived a dedicated life. Of course, firstly we discover that
that facade is not always true. That it is just a facade. And, secondly, we have to question for what purpose did they develop it, and do they keep up that facade.
In short, it was an impression based on a false value of what is a virtuous life ... and ignorance and denial about what the BKs get up to *behind* that facade much of which had been hidden from me while I was a BK. The purpose of it was to make money and gain status for appearing "religious" by conservative Hindu values.
I understand the "god" of the 'omnipresent god theory' to be something like energy in the zero-point energy of quantum physics and therefore, yes, it was equally present in Hitler, the victim of the Holocaust, and the typhoid that killed them.
Do you, as a BK, believe that all the victims of the Holocaust suffered and died because of their own bad karma in previous lives?
