If you were not a member of the conferance, I guess it is hard to prove you

wrong. But I have to admit that I would be surprised if you don't agree with

their general anti-woman-agenda... Can you prove me wrong about that?

Without quoting sastra, there is nothing to say, right?

That is a touchy subject for those who need quotes to have an opinion,

because Srila Prabhupada did say many things about women which seem strange

if they are generalized.

But there were a lot of quotes from Prabhupada also from those who were

against GHQ. Maybe you failed to see them? What was driving me in that

discussion was not quotes, it was my own personal conviction. I guess I am

not far from a demon if I follow that some times without referring to

sastra. But then again, if I am, I would be in good compay, because we can

see that many GHQ'ers are also doing things without being based on quotes

from sastra.

 

I have to admit that I appreciate those who don't only live by quotes, but

who also have some personal realizations behind their arguments. And if one

cannot show kindness to the weaker members of society, one is immideately

disqualified as someone who can teach others about sastra or how to behave,

in my opinion. I don't care how many quotes come out of such a person's

mouth (or fingers, when we are talking e-mail).

 

> Please don't expect me to continue on with this discussion eternally.

 

You may definately quit at any time. But as long as you go on with the same

attitude, you cannot expect to be silently listened to in this conferance, I

am afraid.

Then why are you a member?
