Brahma Kumaris Info replied to Danny Lock's discussion Arguing with people of faith"It is not just limited to Christianity.
I would apply a much harsher criticism. For the most part, such adherents who are unwilling to give up their subjective, temporary or crackpot ideas are for the most part uninteresting and unimportant.

Brahma Kumaris Info replied to Kernel John's discussion Raja Yoga Meditation"The Brahma Kumaris religion is based on concepts and terminology ripped off from other religions. Their manipulative use of the term Raja Yoga is typical of this.

Brahma Kumaris Info posted a discussionBrahma Kumaris admit published history is false
On one hand, I rest my case ... the so called Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University have finally admitted its published and hagiographized history is false and should be removed from public. On the other, for watchers of new millenarianist religions, this is an interesting moment where a new religion essentially admits it faked it and has been spinning myth and start to make the transition to ... well, in the case of the Brahma Kumaris probably another myth. Or is forced to come clean and…See More
Brahma Kumaris Info posted a discussionCULT RECOVERY by Madelein Tobias
Two videos on 'CULT RECOVERY' by Madelein Tobias. For me, relating to the idea of an Open Source religion, the question is ...

Or do we fine filter them out to ensure that no elements of cultic manipulation remain and it is becomes a pure religion? It might be worth saying to the Brahma Kumaris there is no such thing as a pure religion except…See More

Brahma Kumaris Info replied to Kernel John's discussion The Topic"You asked a good question above which The Kernel sidesteps as usual.

Brahma Kumaris Info replied to dattaswami's discussion Critizising other Religions!"I would strongly concur.

Brahma Kumaris Info replied to dattaswami's discussion Toughness of spiritual path"The suggestion "The Path" is tough is just setting up individuals to be abused at a later point and the filtering out of individuals who will

There is also no "God Shiva" who the Brahma Kumaris now claim founded their religion by revealing himself in 1936 or 37.
Millionaire Lekhraj Kripalani refers to himself as "God Brahma, The…
