I am not sure how the above question to me relates to the confusing queries and random unsubstantiated thoughts below. But since the above question is addressed to me, I will answer that I have no reason to doubt the historical description of the Brahma Kumari cult given by its ex-members, especially the fact that it is a doomsday cult with a strongly held belief that the end of the world, resulting in the exclusive survival and prosperity of its current members, and annihilation of all the rest of humankind, is imminent. This description matches exactly that provided to me by its followers in the early 70's when I visited an exhibition held by them in Menezes Braganza Hall in Panaji. At that time they believed that the world would end in 1976. I learned at that time that God to them was the abbreviation G.O.D., which stood for Generation, Operation and Destruction. Now as far as the allegations of murders and rapes are concerned, they have been reported in the mainstream press. Here is one such report in the Times of India: http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-04-01/india/29370168_1_mount-abu-ias-officer-haryana-police Unfortunately, in India, as in most other countries, when a crime is committed in the context of religion, a massive cover up is almost guaranteed. Religion like political power has always been a sure-fire way of achieving immunity from prosecution against crimes.
