seeing through the eyes of scriptures

Jaya Srila Prabhupada 
   I was watching this video by Bhakti Vikas Swami about strong speaking,
http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/news/09-12/news4437.htm .That is nice but mostly we see many  ISKCON leaders want to use their posistiones to try to dominate all 3 worlds as if they where Krsna Himself, Howeever when it is time to go on Harinama  or bookdistribution they all shy away. Oh we are such important men.
Take your strong speaking into the street and be assertive not aggressive.
But they mostly like to make politics on how to run the univers , not to distribute Srila Prabhupadas books
WHY ARE  MOST SOCALLED ISKCON LEADERS AND "SENIOR " (maybe as in old) TO COWHARD TO DISTRIBUTE SRILA PRABHUPADAS BOOKS?
LIPS SERVICE WILL NOT SAVE THE WORLD.
The distribution of Srila Prabhupadas books will ,strong speaking means book distribution, Srila Prabhupada wrote all ISKCON leaders should use their brains to spread the sankirtana movement.
And he has in several  places written it is the duty of every member of ISKCON to distribute his books, this yelling at others to try to become God and simply rot in the temple for comfort and prestige is simply demoniac.Stop ring the bells and hit the streets .Do not stay in darkness come to the ligh.Do not stay in the temples go on Harinama sankirtana and bookdistribution. I have seen many socalled devotees that stay in the temple to eat ,sleep, and have illicit sex and steal from ISKCON and create new philisophies in the name of ISKCON and Srila Prabhupada.
Not that all are like this, but ISKCON is meant for sankirtana...
Gaura Govinda Swami who was a real Sadhu stated in 1995 at ISKCON Potomac, that sometimes the TP thinks he has become God and mistreats other devotees..

TRANSLATION
Pride, arrogance, conceit, anger, harshness and ignorance — these qualities belong to those of demoniac nature, O son of Pṛthā.
PURPORT
In this verse, the royal road to hell is described. The demoniac want to make a show of religion and advancement in spiritual science, although they do not follow the principles. They are always arrogant or proud in possessing some type of education or so much wealth. They desire to be worshiped by others, and demand respectability, although they do not command respect. Over trifles they become very angry and speak harshly, not gently. They do not know what should be done and what should not be done. They do everything whimsically, according to their own desire, and they do not recognize any authority. These demoniac qualities are taken on by them from the beginning of their bodies in the wombs of their mothers, and as they grow they manifest all these inauspicious qualities.
