"

1) Diet and bodily health = Predominantly a locally

produced lacto-vegetarian diet with

meat eating only as a result of necessary culling due

to maintaining ecological principles."

 

Sorry I've been off for about a week working but am trying to catch up. Am I

reading this right, that we have even mentioned "meat-eating" as any kind of

necessity but also in connection to "culling". I'm not sure what kind of

plan that fits into, but none that I would ever want to be part of. I'm

sorry but I think we are not doing this right at all. Firstly I think we

have to get the basics right. Are we tring to present a plan based on Srila

Prabhupada's teachings. Secondly are we trying to set an example to others

so that they may follow once we have some proper implementation. Next are we

looking at ISKCON as being other than the sum total of us all, because

ISKCON the institution exists as a property holder and on paper, but the

essensce of ISKCON is us. WE THE MEMBERSHIP of ISKCON is the living

organisation so if it is so sectarian and narrowminded, how come we are

working here to implement something in it. Can we look at what we're doing

again and start the plan which has a simple template in clear plain English

which everyone can understand, and then flesh it out when it is agreed upon.

Otherwise we will be reading the same piece of information over and over

again until we become snow-blinded and miss wording as mentioned earlier.

 

 

If anyone on the conference is interested in organics, rural development or

any other means of existence that is contrary to our 'minimum standard' of

beliefs, are they sure they are on the right conference. There can be no

mention of meat eating on a devotee conference or in a devotee plan, and if

it's not 'devotee' then what is it?
