TO OFFEND IS TO BLASPHEME

Why are so many of Srila Prabhupada's disciples not engaged in ISKCON?
In regards to the offenses against Srila Prabhupada by the appointed managers, GBC.......
(For purpose of discussion I am using "offend" to correlate with "blaspheme.")
Falsely designating appointed rivik priests as good as God diksa gurus and producing unauthorized edited and changed books after Srila Prabhupada's disappearance as if they were Srila Prabhupada's personally approved books.
And many, many more offenses to His Divine Grace directly and to His followers indirectly offending and blaspheming Srila Prabhupada....
Srila Prabhupada advises in "Nectar of Devotion" Chapter 9...
"One should not tolerate blaspheming of the Lord or His devotees...There are three ways of dealing with such insults. If someone is heard blaspheming by words, one should be so expert that he can defeat the opposing party by argument. If he is unable to defeat the opposing party, then the next step is that he should not just stand there meekly, but should give up his life. The third process is followed if he is unable to execute the above-mentioned two processes, and this is that one must leave the place and go away. If a devotee does not do any of the above-mentioned three processes, he falls down from his position of devotion."

We see there are devotees trying to defeat the offenders (blasphemers) with their words.
We have seen some have given up their lives (not voluntarily.)
But mostly we have seen Srila Prabhupada's disciples leave and go away.
