But that's my point. I am *forced* to listen to your opinion of it, telling

me how I'm missing the *lesson* of it, but if I mention philosophy, I'm,

what? Compassionless? This is a one sided discussion. What about your own

sitting still and listening, and receiving a *lesson*? Or is that out of

line too...so many rules, I can't keep up

No, it is NOT the "sole" reason it went on. But there is absolutely no point

to this conversation, because as soon as philosophy is mentioned, you all

start screaming "Nazi"! You do not own ISKCON, because you were abused

within the walls of it; you do not own the copyright on comments on child

abuse; and you do not own this site. This is a devotee conference site, and

I am quite entitled to say what I have said. And you say in the subject

heading "Stay focused - stop the rape". Focused on what? Why should I focus

my energy on what disturbs 'you'? I'm sorry, I fail to see any substance in

your argument at all. I am not dismissing your experience, only your

argument right here, right now. You're making the rules, and I have to abide

by them. I refuse

And please do not tell me what I can and cannot say on GBC Unmoderated. If

you do not like it, go to a private child abuse forum. Who are you to censor

what I say? As for what I'm doing to stop the molestation in India?

Absolutely nothing. What are you doing to stop the cow killing in India?

What are you doing to stop the rape of the woman three doors down? How do

you know what I have done in my life to stop/assist/help anyone or anything?

See what I mean about this conversation?
