"It is my contention (dear Jeff) that "we" can learn something about early Christianity by observing the formation of the BKs.  It is difficult to argue that new religious movements like Scientology or Mormonism, for example, can tell…"

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. Like…"

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. The concept or term of Raja Yoga has been used in Hinduism for 2,000 years before the…"

Brahma 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

CULT 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 ... Do we incorporate successful cultic manipulation to ensure the successful spread of the religion and incorporate followers because they work so well? 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

Note, "God" does not know Judaism exists and instead calls it Islam, a separate entity from Muslim.

 

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…
