Guest guest Posted July 13, 2000 Report Share Posted July 13, 2000 As far as I can see from reading the complaint filed with the court, only one alleged child abuser, Kirtanananda, is named as a defendant in the suit. All others are named because of the leadership positions they held during certain periods of time. It would appear that even Kirtanananda is named due to his position and not his actions. Am I alone in thinking this is rather odd? So exactly what are those GBC who are Defendents under suspicion of? Suspicion of making bad management decisions?

I think the view in some quarters is that an honorable leader who was in charge while atrocities were committed, resigns voluntarily to spare the members and the organization additional embarrassment and pain. Because of their positions, such leaders always *feel* responsible, even if they never personally authorized the abuse. Of course, if the members insist, they can always be reinstated later. ys, madhusudani dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of > course, if the members insist, they can always be reinstated later. sounds sentimental. just to sarisfy one's feeling one should not resign, imho.
