  BAHAI LEADERS AND THEIR FOLLOWERS SHOULD TRY TO ACT LIKE BAHAIS         


Author: giovanni_cuad
Date: Mar 31, 2008 09:38

Too few Baha'is heed these repeated admonitions of Abdu'l-Baha aboutt
how they should treat others with courtesy and love, even other
Baha'is whose interpretations about the Faith and its leaders differ
widely in these time. Here are some of the words of Abdu'l-Baha that
the leaders of all the current Baha'i groups and their followers
should take to heart and live by..............

"O army of God! Beware lest ye harm any soul, or make any heart to
sorrow; lest ye wound any man with your words, be he known to you or a
stranger, be he friend or foe. Pray ye for all; ask ye that all be
blessed, all be forgiven. Beware, beware, lest any of you seek
vengeance, even against one who is thirsting for your blood. Beware,
beware, lest ye offend the feelings of another, even though he be an
evil-doer, and he wish you ill. Look ye not upon the creatures, turn
ye to their Creator. See ye not the never-yielding people, see but the
Lord of Hosts. Gaze ye not down upon the dust, gaze upward at the
shining sun, which hath caused every patch of darksome earth to glow
with light."
(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 73)

  FOR THEM, THE WORLD ORDER OF BAHA'U'LLAH SHALL NEVER BE         


Author: Joel Marangella
Date: Mar 29, 2008 20:21

POSTED ON BEHALF OF THE GUARDIAN OF THE BAHA'I FAITH

******************************************************************

FOR THEM, THE WORLD ORDER OF BAHA'U'LLAH SHALL NEVER BE

For THEM, the major divinely-conceived, sacred and immutable provisions of
the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha -- a Document stated by Shoghi
Effendi to be nothing less than a part of the explicit Holy Text -- are no
longer applicable and have now become null and void.

For THEM, the "TWIN" and "inseparable institutions" and these "two
fundamental organs" of the Baha'i Administrative Order, as prescribed by
'Abdu'l-Baha in His Will and Testament, whose essentiality has been
repeatedly emphasized by Shoghi Effendi in his writings, have been
shamelessly replaced, with impunity, by a single, illegitimate, headless,
and therefore hideously deformed body, which notwithstanding this obvious
fact, they have nefariously foisted upon the Baha'i World as the legitimate
Universal House of Justice delineated by 'Abdu'l-Baha in His Will.

Do you unequivocally, without hesitation or any equivocation condemn
the following words and sentiments expressed by Dermod Ryder writing
under the pseudonym "Asparagus":

"A better reason for a pre-emptive nuclear attack we have yet to see.
The removal of 78 million plus 2 mental defectives from the planet
would be a mighty blessing and nuclear is obviously the most economic
method."

Do you condemn or do you not condemn? 'Yes' or 'no' are the only
appropriate answers here.

Reflections on the Fraudulent will & testament of Abdu'l-Baha

The will and testament is a fraudulent document perpetrated by a
family seeking to seize and control a formative religion for its own
benefit. Largely, they succeeded, though they initially lost thousands
of early Bahais over the coming decades, while a few insightful and
valient Bahais, such as Ruth White, Julie Chanler, and Mirza Ahmad
Sohrab protested and explained their concerns and objections in a
number of books, all the more worth reading in the light of subsequent
decades of slander, deceit, lies, and shunning of independently minded
scholars, writers, and people of every background:

"Abdul Baha had never in speech or writing given the slightest indication
that there would be a successor to himself. On the contrary, a number of
addresses delivered by him on various occastions had made the
opposite impression" (61). "There is apparent contradiction between this
section of the Will and his lifelong teachings..." (61). --Mirza Ahmad Sohrab,
The Will and Testament of Abdul Baha, An Analysis. New York: Universal
Publishing, 1944. Mirza Ahmad Sohrab's Broken Silence: The Story of
Today's Struggle for Religious Freedom. New York: Universal Publishing, 1942.

Report on the Writing Shown on the Photographs of the Alleged Will of Abdu'l-Baha. 1930.
http://www.fglaysher.com/bahaicensorship/CAMitchell_Report.htm

"That is to say, the writing does not agree with the hypothesis that it was all written by one
person."

"A minute comparison of the authenticated writing with the writing on every page of the
alleged will . . . has failed to detect in any part of the will the characteristics of the writing
of Abdu'l-Baha, as shown in the authenticated specimens." -Dr. C. Ainsworth Mitchell

The attempts to discredit Dr. Mitchell and Ruth White have relied on, for over 75 years, slander and
ad hominem and are no more convincing now than they have ever been. Note the attempt to shift from
his conclusion and call for an examination of the original to the man himself.

I ask the reader to reflect on the fact that Dr. Mitchell remains one of the most respected forensic
researchers of the 20th century and is still quoted and cited by academics and legal experts. His

Ruth White. Bahai Leads Out of the Labyrinth.

http://www.fglaysher.com/bahaicensorship/archives/White,%%BLOL.pdf

205-206 BAHAI LEADS OUT OF THE LABYRINTH

The one hundredth anniversary of the foundation of the Bahai Religion will take place on May 23rd,
1944. Yet here also the Power within it has been more or less entombed due to the fact that since
the passing of Abdul Baha from this world the organized group of Bahais (The National Spiritual
Assembly of Bahais) under the dictatorship of Shoghi Effendi, have brought Fascism or
totalitarianism into it.

Unbelievable as it may seem, they tried to copy-right the Bahai Religion, and they instituted two
law suits during 1941* against Mirza Ahmad Sohrab, and Mrs. Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, to prohibit.
them, or anyone else, from calling themselves "Bahais", or from spreading the religion unless they
did so through their organization. and according to their dictates.

Naturally the National Spiritual Assembly of Bahais lost both suits, and they were severely
reprimanded by the judge. He made it clear to them that in this day of religious freedom, no one can
copyright a religion or claim the exclusive rights to it.

A sincere man in Shoghi's position should gladly have accepted my challenge for an investigation.
Any man confident of the justice of his case would, in fact, have courted and insisted upon an
impartial and judicial examination of the alleged will and of all the facts bearing on his claim to
Guardianship. Shoghi Effendi however, it can be seen, was congratulating himself that there was no
likelihood of the Palestine authorities considering the question. He shunned a test of the alleged
will and of his claims. And I have every reason to believe that his advice to his followers not to
hurt my feelings at that time was with a view to prevent me from pursuing the matter further (1).
