Re: Having a partner, getting married & becoming a mum, dad etc
Thanks ex-l for filling in the info, I was also browsing on the web to get the director's name straight! I remember the scenes in which animals are being tortured. I had probably fallen asleep by the time Shrimat was being broken, or Baba mercifully narcotized me! What a shame! (Hmmn ... how long un...

time is so short!
Hi. I never want to be too hard on my self, but today I was wondering: how can I transform myself to the point of reaching perfection in one life , this one of Sangamyug, when I see that the more I dig into my mind, the more stuff I find that was hiding and needs to be processed/purified?! So many l...

lust( poison) -free sex
As far as touching goes. I personally am not so much of the touching type and that goes back to before the BK life. Bad luck if your cultural background or personality's different! In that case, the imposition of not showing affection through touching, becomes real arm twisting and artificial ( and...

do we always need scientific proofs??
"A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle." I bet the pseudo feminist BKorg has never heard this slogan. Apart from teasing, I am not particularily skeptical about the possibility of parthenogenesis for humans, if environment, mental and hormonal conditions were to change dra...

chal ho, brothers and sisters!
OK. So, so far we understood that we felt "stuck" and that the BKs were a hindrance to our spiritual progress. All our energy was taken by what Baba calls "trivial matters" created by those in charge: guru worship, politics, hierachies, power games , service aimed to fish for wea...

unnecessary cruelty
Hi, I thought that this was at the moment the most appropriate place for me to quote the post Joel wrote on the Tao's topic, and add a few comments: quoting Joel's post Apprenticing in Japan traditionally involved subsuming oneself fully to the teacher. It is not surprising or unusual behavior among...

Re: The Tao of the Traveller
Hi Tamasin, The organisation and the people in it are still the most authentic, true spirited, pure-hearted and hard-working people that I have ever met. I have yet to meet a Raja Yogi who wants something back for what they have given. I could tell you many wonderful stories illustrating this, Great...

survive, heal and move on
Totally with you on this one enlightened. and Sarah! I fully appreciated and sensed from the start, the role this Forum was going to play in my existence and self development. BKs are conditioned to obsessively think that this is some sort of conspiracy, but I feel that, if the institution, its lea...

assertiveness
Hi. I think that one of the most traumatic phases in the BKs' lives, is when we are abruptly awakened from the honeymoon phase by the abuse of some other BK we thought was as sweet and as harmless as an angel. Sure, no one is perfect, but BKs always think and preach that they are by birth much more ...

army training
Hi. For the sake of brevity we call them or ourselves "BKs", those who accepted to be coloured by a belief system, and follow a particular lifestyle, have adopted a particular language and wear uniforms. :| It's not an insult or an undue generalization. BKs are proud to have their own cult...

Hi, Enlightened. Why are you sharing with all of us the pms you have been receiving from Ermine? Do you want to weaken his attempt to create some "intimate" feeling with you? :wink: If you feel a bit molested by the pms you are receiving, why not changing your avatar for a more masculine, ...

Thank you ex-l for such an eloquent photo which describes in short what the BKWSO is all about and what you can expect from them. When I showed it to my lokiks, they commented " It's like Miss Universe!" :wink: Joel, I enjoyed reading your post and especially these lines: The Dadis wearing...

Re: Having a partner, getting married & becoming a mum, dad etc
:lol: :shock: :roll: For now. Baby, some people are not so keen on sharing their own personal experiences, don't have the interest, the humility or the insight necessary to do that. Or they are accustomed to operate differently and they like lecturing others or providing suggestions and even address...

Re: [Admin] User log; Cautions, Suspension, Bans etc
Sometimes it is just the habit of not being able to keep the mouth shut. Later one regrets this kind of "looseness".

my plants+pets giggle at hearing such questions
I do not care about the BKs' opinion on such matters. Science is constantly proving more and more how animals and plants have feelings similar to those of humans (well, not as vicious!). I am proud to be an animist :wink:. In any case, I had the practical example of witnessing how love, care and goo...
