Ex-BK Index and External Resources List
Ex-BKs are working on suggestions and a request for an Ex-BK index for an external resources list. We see the need for and value of both of these, and we think that they can be combined with the BKInfo Wiki and as an entirely separate project are providing the following list of topics for individuals to work on.
Clicking on any of the following links will take you to another page to share your thoughts. Some pages have already been made, some you may have to create using a another simple link.
A preliminary outline of the topics would look something like this :
Re-adjustments Relationships & marriage after leaving Relationships between BKs but outside the maryadas
- 2. On leaving the BKs:
Emotional responses - general Anger Depression Suicide Shame Guilt Therapy Re-constructing yourself Alternative Lifestyles
- 3. Cults
God - questions of identity, authenticity and duplicity 5000 year cycle Revisionist approaches Revisionist BKs PBKs vis a via BKs Sex
- 5. Child Abuse
