Exactly. ISKCON should be happy, that we can be part of such communication

system, which is result of so many years of selfless hard work, mostly by

your good self.

 

GBC can have their ideas of some new system, but one thing is words and

promises, another thing is reality. The point is that GBC cannot do such a

thing. Actually, GBC can do very little, almost nothing. They can have some

fun-meeting for few days once a year. But even updating their own laws takes

at least six years to complete!!!! So innefective, that it almost hurts!

They cannot even answer few simple questions regarding their plans. Even

from karmis you get quick answer, or at least a note, that they received

your letter and will answer it soon. Still we hear such big words from our

ISKCON Communications experts. Big words, but too busy all the time, no time

for anything. GBCs have no time to deal with things, Gurus have no time to

deal with their disciples, leaders have no time to deal with their

subordinates. Everybody is so busy preaching, getting more and more new

people. But overall number is decreasing. More are leaving than comming.

Getting more new people to replace the old ones.... Something is very wrong

arround here. Anyway, time will show what is what, and thats the good thing.

I know. But in reality, it is such a sect already. I was censured from

several local PAMHO forums by local leaders. "No wonder", one would say...

Yes, I deserve it, I'm a bit harsh sometimes.... But the fact is, that

there is whimsical censoring, and communication is controlled by leaders.

And if nothing else is done, one gets labeled as ritvik or something

similar. You get some label sooner or later. We can see how everybody gets

upset, if some ritvik invites ISKCON devotees to his seminar. But when they

knock us down with their karmi managment and self-growth seminars and

mediations and similar nonsense, thats ok, and we should just buy it.

Ehhhh....
