It was not guns and bombs that made the chnges in Russia. The change happened without any bloodshed. And there was plenty of preaching going on. I know it from a direct experience.
When devotees display arrogance and ignorance in their preaching, and when they are led by crooks, the local people can see that they are a fake and have no interest in what they preach.
Like I said: What is stopping the KC movement in US??? What would you bomb to change the sorry state our movement is in? Who would you shoot? Ah? Ask yourself that question, soldier.
Learn from Lord Caitanya, not from the Old Testament. Even Jesus of Nazareth rejected violence in his mission. Too bad people who claim to follow him did not.

It reminds me of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi; he said, "I'm in a war, but this time the weapon is different."
The weapon he referred to was "Ahimsa [indirectly Truth]".
Very few these days have that same spirit power as that of Gandhiji, and thinking about waking up US makes me think about another phrase of the Mahatma, "We can wake up someone if he is really sleep"
