Let he whose fingers are *not* on the keyboard cast the first stone!

If you make that a formal GBC proposal, you'll surely enter the pages of

history as the *foremost* ISKCON reformer!

Aren't you getting a bit defensive and carried away here? Most of these guys

discussing soccer in a positive light are fathers and if you have kids, you

can't possibly be advocating that parents spend every free moment studying

books and not take some time out for the kids. Every ashram has different

requirements. We will have no kids that want to stay devotees if we all

become dry, intellectual twigs. An expert devotee parent can turn every

situation (even a soccer game or a rafting trip or whatever) into a learning

experience for a child. Maybe moderation is the key not critical

condemnation. yhs, Kanti dasi
