More devotees being banned from ISKCON for "speaking up"

[PADA: This is a question we get all day every day, "Why don't / why didn't / the devotees "speak up" and protest all the abuses and deviations? Well for starters, because whistle blowers are immediately targeted for banning, and worse, sometimes beatings and assassinations. This article is correct, the GBC are a bunch of bullies. Of course the GBC has kicked out so many people by now that their cows are being put into terrible conditions and some have been sold for slaughter, some deities's have rats on their altars at night, and so on and so forth because "there is no one left" -- well yea, they kicked em' all out. This is why we need our own independent programs. YS PD]
