By the sounds of things, you're not too enamored by ISKCON, are you Babhru?

I wonder if that would be a bit of a detriment to being organizer of an

ISKCON conference? That is of course if you accept that this is an ISKCON

conference, because I'm not sure what it's meant to be if it's not. This is

an observation, and certainly one I'd like you to clarify, because frankly

I'm not really interested in being on a forum with so-called ISKCON

devotees, when all I seem to do is defend ISKCON. I'm really tired of it, so

if you'd be completely open here I'd appreciate it.

 

We've already seen the 'benefits' of a forum where those who are not so

impressed with ISKCON are allowed to roam free with their thoughts. It just

turned into an offensive quagmire, and I really don't want to be involved in

a little replica of that. Better to shut it down completely rather than just

pretend it's going ot be any different. A little honesty now might save a

whole lot of distress.

 

Thank you
