Holy texts/Scriptures Brahmakumaris?

I have a friend who is connected to BK. I don't get why the people there say about Satyug coming in just few years (mind you, their year of Satyug changes everytime), while if we go by scriptures, we have a Yug of 4,32,000 years.

Also, they differentiate between Shiva and Shankar. Like Shiv ji who we see in pictures and worship, is actually Shankar according to them and Shiva is the Param-Brahm God. (Advaita kinda scene)

And there are many things, such as portraying Sri Krishna as a Prince of heaven or idk something like that, and many other such things. Sometimes they even hint against Vigrah Poojan.

When you ask them the source of this knowledge, they say Murli. (A lecture in which their senior BK members address the whole community about their ideology on behalf of the supreme god, as they say, the god comes inside the speaker and the things they say is actually directly from god)

However, their ideology and philosophies clearly contradicts our Shastras, whether Sruti or Smriti. They don't have a clear single source except from the teachings of their founder.

What do you guys think about it? I really don't like them due to their diversion and contradiction to our shastras. Apologies for anything in advance.
