You wrote: <This is not a proof that the GBC must prove to everyone that they were authorized to do what they are doing. When Srila Prabhupada was challenged in a similar way, his answer was:> Srila Prabhupada is the founder acharya of his own mission. The GBC were simply to manage that mission within the parameters set them by Srila Prabhupada. Why are you confusing the two as if they were equal? The GBC have presented their so-called justification for hijacking Srila Prabhupada's mission in various self-contradictory position papers. All of the evidence they present is recorded and visible and they claim is comprehensive. Thus in writing such papers as ‘Disciple of My Diosciple’ the GBC have indeed tried to prove their actions were authorised. Thus even the bogus GBC have never said “You should be curious within your limit” when asked how they were authorised to remove Srila Prabhupada as ISKCON’s initiating acarya. So you are now promoting a position even more bogus than that of the bogus GBC. Congratulations! Effectively you are now conceding defeat in this debate. If your position is now that the GBC can do whatever they like and I just have to accept it without evidence then what more is there to discuss? You have now put forward a position that requires absolutely no evidence within a debate that stipulates that all statements must be supported by evidence!! You have thus left the parameters of this debate. You are once again defeated. I shall only continue to debate you if you agree to return to the rules of this debate which you only recently emailed to me.

You have not proven there is an order countermanding the status quo you agree Srila Prabhupada established in 1966. If your position is that I am not qualified to understand the order, and that I am being curious beyond my limit, then what more is there to discuss? But who will accept such a proposition other than someone dying to be cheated by an unauthorsied imposter? What special 'qualification' did the original 11 ritviks have, when even they admit they did not understand the order since they operated an unauthorised 'zonal acharya system' for almost an entire decade, driving out of ISKCON anyone who did not agree with it. Pure madness! Please let me know when you wish to return to sanity and the paramters of this debate.

AGTSP! > You have not proven your injunction. <I followed Srila Prabhupada's instruction and presented statements by Srila Prabhupada that support my statement.> No you did not. None of the evidence you presented even mentions the word ‘planet’ or 'earth' and none of it even deals with the conditions by which initiation ‘cannot’ take place. Your evidence is thus not relevant to your injunction. You have not replied to my question regarding the letter to Brahmananda so option 2 is currently at a standstill. <Until you have finished your option 2 and until you showed us that you understood my argument, you cannot say that I have not proven my statement.> Until you either prove your injunction is proven by the letter to Brahmananda, or concede it is not then we cannot move on within option 2. If your ‘argument’ involves asserting an injunction that does not appear within Srila Prabhupada’s teachings then it lies outside the parameters of this debate. Please read the rules you sent me and follow them. <Now please answer my question that I asked you in my previous text.> Your many distractive questions will need to wait their turn. But I will say that if your position is that I am not qualified to understand the alleged order that allowed the GBC to remove Srila Prabhupada, and that I am being curious beyond my limit, then there is nothing more to discuss. You will have left the sane parameters of this debate and entered a no-mans land of speculation where anything can be asserted without need of proof. If Harikesa was so especially ‘qualified’ to understand Srila Prabhupada's orders on initiation then how is it he happily participated in the bogus zonal acharya system for nearly an entire decade, ruthlessly driving out anyone who dared challenge him, and then later ran off with his therapist and loads of money? What kind of qualification are you talking about? The qualification of a kali-chela it seems.
