during a study the elder brought out that eating blood and omens are from the devil, and brought me to leviticus 19:26 (i think).. in verse 27 i says this:.
you must not shave the hair on the side of your head or disfigure the edges of your beard.. i said: "so why are we not allowed to have beards?".
elder: "thats a good question, cleric.
I think it's a hangover from the old days when witnesses classed themselves as an army fighting the good fight. Men all look the same (except for officers), acted the same, obedient, women were pushed down etc.
Now with their post '75 "kinder gentler" image they are having difficulty explaining the old outdated rules.
a cuneiform tablet from around 1750bce describes a noah type named atra-hasis building a 2/3rds stadium size round ark to save humans and animals from the gods wrath.
one of the gods, enki, informs atra of the other gods plans along with how-to instructions.. www.haaretz.com under archeology.. why couldn't we have had a god named enki, is that cool or what.... .

From the article:
I'm sure the story of the flood and a boat to rescue life is a Babylonian invention,' he said.
He believes the tale was likely passed on to the Jews during their exile in Babylon in the 6th century B.C.
And he doesn't think the tablet provides evidence the ark described in the Bible existed. He said it's more likely that a devastating real flood made its way into folk memory, and has remained there ever since.

Controversies: the Brahma Kumaris have, over decades, invested millions in a public relations front which hides the truth of their religio-political cult. Not only outsiders, such as the politicians, United Nations Organization and VIPs they target, but also newcomers to the religion are deceived by the leadership. Few, even amongst their regular followers or supporters, manage to penetrate the facade of “positive thinking” and “self management leadership” courses used to encult outsiders and enter their inner circles to learn the truth of their politico-religious agenda.

"They BKWSU remains extremely secretive of its original teachings which they call “Sakar Murlis”. This is due to their inflammatory nature, especially towards all other religions which are considered to completely “impure” and “degraded”, and yet they claim these are inspiration for all other religions."

Is Simon not allowed to have an opinion (and even a spirited one) on his own board? He is human like the rest of us. People questioning their beliefs can read these 90 plus pages and figure out why he said what he said...

i'm sure topics like this have already come up but they tend to get hilarious with the absolute absurdity that goes on in the kh.
i was once counseled for not shaving after two days.
i was also counseled by a sister for eating lucky charms cereal.
Razkat. Just before I left I had the opportunity to "clear the air" with one elder who seemed to take delight in dissing me over the years. He and another came for a shepherding call which was a cover for him to rant. He started along the lines of "You better watch out blah blah. I cut him off, leaned in toward him and said "You better watch your mouth!" He realised that I was very serious (and incredibly irate from years of taking his shit). The other elder and my wife of the time mouth's dropped. The elders left immediately.
My only regret is that I should just have hit him and talked later but such is hindsight.
He is now dead and I'm alive. Sweet!
when perry posted: who made the code?
many responded in nervousness and frustration.
here are some man-made mysteries (forget about god-made codes), which the scientists can simply puzzle over.. 1) the still un-deciphered harappan script.. 2) the illustrated voynich manuscript written in a completely unknown script.
