seeing through the eyes of scriptures

We are establishing different centers, not for sense enjoyment, but for good
association of devotees. If we miss this, those who are working, those who
are managers of this institution, they must always know that we cannot make
this institution or this center as a brothel. There must be such management
and or such arrangement that we must have always good association for
advancement. That is required.

>>> Ref. VedaBase => Bhagavad-gita 2.21-22 — London, August 26, 1973
When I once was requested by Harivilasa das to come to Berkely California, sadly I found all "his temples" was like brothels because everywhere I went there was illicit sex.
Even one bhakta and and a socalled senior devotee lady, was having illicit sex in a room situated within the actual temple room.
Yes ISKCON is not a brothel.

 Those who use this institution for personal gain are also doing the same thing....they are not faithful to Srila Prabhupada but are like prostitutes.
Those who steal from ISKCON use this vers of the Bhagavad Gita as an excuse:

TEXT 16

catur-vidha bhajante mam 
janah sukrtino 'rjuna 
arto jijnasur artharthi 
jnani ca bharatarsabha

SYNONYMS

catuh-vidhah--four kinds of; bhajante--render services; mam--unto Me; janah--persons; su-krtinah--those who are pious; arjuna--O Arjuna; artah--the distressed; jijnasuh--the inquisitive; artha-arthi--one who desires material gain; jnani--one who knows things as they are; ca--also; bharata-rsabha--O great one amongst the descendants of Bharata.

TRANSLATION

O best among the Bharatas [Arjuna], four kinds of pious men render devotional service unto Me--the distressed, the desirer of wealth, the inquisitive, and he who is searching for knowledge of the Absolute.

They think I am also a sukritina, pious person, I am interested in artah, one who desires material gain, so I am stealing from ISKCON, but they do not realize
that actually they are duskritina and belong to this catagory:

na mam duskrtino mudhah 
prapadyante naradhamah 
mayayapahrta-jnana 
asuram bhavam asritah

SYNONYMS

na--not; mam--unto Me; duskrtinah--miscreants; mudhah--foolish;prapadyante--surrender; nara-adhamah--lowest among mankind;mayaya--by the illusory energy; apahrta--stolen by illusion; jnanah--knowledge; asuram--demonic; bhavam--nature; asritah--accepting.

TRANSLATION

Those miscreants who are grossly foolish, lowest among mankind, whose knowledge is stolen by illusion, and who partake of the atheistic nature of demons, do not surrender unto Me.

Wether they stay or leave ISKCON does not matter ,Krsna knows they are actually cheaters.....and "actual prostitutes" to the instruction of the spiritual master,they use everything for their sensegratification.....they have no interest in KC and spreading KC...
