Normally I would blast this as blatant party-line blind following. But I have

found speaking to some people is like talking to a wall. And actually this

sentiment is appropriate, given the right set of circumstances. Which, of

course, is not what we have. If the GBC were doing the sensible things instead

of the insensible, this would be the proper protocol for most things

notwithstanding the current subject.

 

But they are NOT doing the sensible thing - recognizing and implementing

varnasrama-dharma and they ARE doing, or endorsing at least, the insensible

thing - editing Srila Prabhupada's books.

 

(The GBC had no authority to make editing changes when Srila Prabhupada was

present and they certainly didn't inherit the right after he left.)
