Daring to Discriminate

I have just read Kesava Krsna das's latest article, "Be Part of the Solution".
Perhaps prabhu should first be asking, "Be a solution to what?"
Perhaps prabhu should also be asking, "Just what is the problem?"
Unfortunately… anyone who sees problems in ISKCON is labeled as a ..........
yes we've all heard this before.
Such is the training of newcomers to ISKCON.
Neophytes are encouraged to remain neophytes because…
WARNING
daring to discriminate may seriously damage your spiritual life.
Or…
what we really want are fanatics.
Give us your time… energy… your money.
Thanks very much.
Don't complain… stop whining… consider yourselves fortunate… be humble.
So...
when Srila Gurudeva wants to take advantage of his neophyte followers, how does he keep them in place?
Shackle them with FEAR.
Keep them in ignorance.
er... Srila Gurudeva... er… wants to have sex with me... er… um… Srila Gurudeva has a photo collection of near naked women... er…
And so it goes on, year in year out.
Krsna consciousness is supposed to liberate one to see things as they are.
Does Kesava Krsna das imagine that our previous experiences in ISKCON are isolated events in the past?
Think again prabhu...
As other contributors keep pointing out, with graphic evidence, the same rubbish is still going on as we speak.
Our ISKCON "leadership" (I use this word lightly ) even refuses to discuss the issue.
Such is their arrogance.
They have become big men.
Problems... what problems?
Does Kesava Krsna das not consider that we have tried to talk to the management?
My conclusion has to be…
in order to be "part of the solution"
first one has to recognise "we have a problem".
The present ISKCON paradigm is very simple:
Shoot the messengers.
