BK Karuna was contacted directly via the [at]gmail email address given on both the http://www.brahmakumaris.com and http://www.omshantihelpline.com websites to confirm this. In the first place, he responded by merely block quoting comments made by BK Simon B regarding the BKWSU Wikipedia topic, confusing the issue between the website and the Wikipedia as he does on the mailing list.
Thanks for the confirmation. Well... I have to say I am a little dissapointed. If you bother to spend any time on this site it's really very obvious that this site is in no way affiliated to the BKWSU, I mean it even has links to the official BKWSU sites! It would seem Karuna needs to work on his anger! If he had been a cool yogi then surely he would have realised this site was neutral. Maybe he was miffed that no one in the organisation had been bothered enough to purchase this domain when the top level info domain became available I am going into waste now and I am also not Karuna's spokesman so I shall shut up!
I found the whole wikipedia farce slightly amusing and probably does reveal the controlling tendancies and naiviety (sweet arrogance?) of the BK movement. The article itself I found mostly accurate but I feel it does come across that the person(s) who wrote it don't have a great deal of love for the organisation . But then maybe I say that as my experience of the BKs is mostly positive. It would be interesting to hear whether an individual with no exposure to the BKs thought it had been written by a member, an ex-member or a neutral. I suspect most would say a (slightly bitter ) ex-member.
