We should be able to say something positive about someone withut the need to throw some dirt at the same time. I'm no fan of the Iskcon system but these people are not satans incarnate either Beggar. C'mon now.
Well spoken Theist prabhu. Only problem, even if you want to join like two of my godbrothers, they don't take you. They say you should live near a temple and visit as a guest but not that you can live within ISKCON. This is yesteryear. ISKCON might take you when you work with a contract and getting paid. Also see, " I am becoming increasingly concerned that more and more people I talk to are simply at the temple because they are being paid." (Bh. David Haslam)
