A childish talk. When a kid gets upset with the challenging playmates,

then he proclaimers:

"You aren't allowed to play with my ball anymore! But everybody

else may. OK boys, everybody come with me, I know a nice game to

play, let's go! And you two stay there where you are, and suffer

looking us playing with the ball!"

 

No kidding. Srila's the only one who got a ball (called a "general

advice") to be bouncing with around.

And we'll suffer, suffer, suffer...

 

There seams to be only one way how to make the real advancement

in this life.

(for the guide booklet with exact instructions on how and what to

think, whom and when to go for guidence, ask Srila das)

Some characteristics of the people in the deprogramming movement:

 

- They go after you, not giving you a brake to breath own air.

It is not that you really throw yourself on them, but the

opposite is rather the case.

 

- Their basic strategy is to erode your faith in your spiritual

authorities in ISCKON. They will tell you how they all are bad

and incapable of giving you a good association.

 

- They will constantly insist in narrating you the stories of

those gurus who already have fallen down, again and again.

 

- They will constantly tell you how "ISCKON as-it-is" is a doomed

society, no hope in your life if you stick to it.

 

- They will tell you what exactly you ought to do in order to save

yourself.

 

- And they will threaten you, if you don't do like they say, then

you gonna suffer the rest of your existence.
