One of my friends received this email and sent it to me. It outlines the grief of a father whose is observing what is happening to women in the name of service to the UHJ.  Do read it completely. I urge Bahais to circulate this letter and also non-Bahais who are well wishers of Bahais to make this letter as popular as possible.

Subject: Exploitation of Girls in the Holy Land (Haifa)

Dear Friends,

This is a letter from a troubled father to all Friends in the Community. Hopefully this letter will bring to light certain concerns about the Conduct of our beloved UHJ. Of course facts would be presented before drawing conclusions.

Friends, we hear time and again appeals from the UHJ for volunteers at the Holy Land. With deep sincerity the message is circulated by the respected LSAs. With equal sincerity some of our youth, purely for serving the Faith, volunteer. The Local Community is overjoyed when certain youth are selected for serving at Holy Land. Indeed, it is a representation of the local community – an honour. However the tragedy starts when after serving at Holy Land for about a decade, the now “middle aged” volunteer returns. In private discussions, these volunteers tell their woes. Some of the common points that emerge are : Read more of this post

Quote of Dr. Saeed, physician and more..

August 11, 2013 Leave a comment

Dr Sa’eed Khan on the Baha’is he knew

From Mission Problems in New Persia, 1926, p. 83, 87 and 89 quoted by William McElwee Miller in The Baha’i Faith: It’s History and Teachings, 1973, p. 289.

Quote…There is no conscience with them [ i.e. the Baha’is], they keep to no principle, they tell you what is untrue, ignoring or denying undoubted historical facts, and this is the character of both the leader and the led…As to morality and honesty, the whole system has proved disappointing…I have been in contact with many Baha’is, and have had dealings with many and have tested many, and unfortunately I have met not a single one who could be called honest or faithful in the full sense of these words…”

Dr Sa’eed Khan [was] a highly-respected physician…who had as a doctor treated the second widow of the Bab, and had for a lifetime known intimately both Babis [i.e. Bayanis] and Baha’is in Tehran and Hamadan.

What love, what peace for mankind…!

August 11, 2013 4 Comments

This is a quote from Tablet of Habib by Bahaullah followed by a quote of Abdul Baha. It shows what love Bahais have for non-Bahais..! It also outlines the fact that Bahais are unable to taske criticism of any sort – from internal or from external. Yet, they keep on harping upon their principle of independent investigation of truth. How independent can one’s investigation be when any criticism means that you have to question the morals of your mother??!

Another hypocrisy of the Bahais unveiled…!

The Critics of the Cause of God (munkirin-i-amru’llah)

The Ancient Beauty in the Tablet of Habib from Maragha, which begins with “H B hear the call of God from the direction of the throne by the protective signs/verses (bi-ayati muhayyimin)..etc.” they [i.e. Husayn ‘Ali Nuri] enunciate the command (mi-farmayand)[i.e. state],

By God, the Truth, whomsoever criticizes it [i.e. Baha’ism], [which is] possessed of the manifest, the brilliant, the high and the perspicuous excellence, it behoveth him to ask his mother [yanbaghi lahu bi-an yas’al min ummihi] about his origins [or ‘state’, i.e.’hal’, meaning he should inquire his mother about his legitimate conception – trans.], for he shall return to the nethermost hell [asfal al-jahim]”…

In Promulgation of Universal Peace p. 322 the following is quoted by ‘Abbas Effendi from a prayer by his father, cf. THE BAHA’I FAITH AND ISLAM (ed.) Heshmat Moayyad (The Association for Baha’i Studies: Ottawa, 1990), p.23

Quote
O God! Whomsoever violates My Covenant, O God, humiliate him. Verily whosoever violates My Covenant, erase and efface him.

What Baha’i Youth want from 95 Baha’i Youth Conferences!

August 10, 2013 2 Comments

Message from concerned Bahai Youth…

95bahaiconferenceWe Bahá’í Youths across the Globe are overwhelmed due to announcement of the 95 youth conferences plus 19 additional conferences to be held between July and October 2013, that will span across the globe. We Bahá’í Youths accept the cordial invitation of the Universal House of Justice to this conference and we are also happy that we will be the guest of UHJ as no registration fees will be charged.

We assure the UHJ that these conferences will help in betterment of the society and bring those who have been excluded into the circle of intimate friends means making more Bahá’ís across the globe that can work untiringly for UHJ and keep on paying Huququlláh to the Bahá’í World Centre. This Huququlláh will help the Bahá’í world centre in defeating the covenant breakers and those who disagree with the infallible house of Justice by slamming more court cases against them. In this way the UHJ will help in shedding light of Justice upon the whole world.

Dear House let these conferences be a source of deepening for the youths who are galvanized by the vision of Bahá’u’lláh and are ready to put the needs of others before their own. That such high-minded youth, by dint of their own exertions as well as the momentum they lend to the whole community, should be contributing so effectively to efforts everywhere under way bodes well for the anticipated acceleration of these efforts.

Beloved House of Justice: let us make these conferences as an opportunity to make a Contribution in making our belief strong towards Ancient Beauty and please make an agenda by clarifying the following points which are disturbing the Bahá’í Youths raised by Covenant Breakers and Enemies of Faith. We are sure that these points will be clarified at these conferences.

QUESTIONS REGARDING BAHÁ’Í BELIEFS

1.    It is said that Seyed Báb appointed Mirza Yahya Nuri as his successor but UHJ says that it was Bahá’u’lláh. (Mirza Hussain Ali Nuri).

2.    Bahá’u’lláh clearly stated in his WILL that after my elder son ‘Abdu’l-Bahá my younger son Mohammed Ali will be my successor but UHJ says that after ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Shoghi Effendi is the successor.

3.    The Will of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá is a forged one researched by greatest Forensic Scientist of our time, Mr. Mitchell but UHJ says that it was written by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. So what about the principle that Religion and Science should go hand in hand.

4.    Shoghi Effendi died as a Martyr in London but UHJ says that Shoghi Effendi passed away in London suffering from dysentery.

5.    Why was the Body of Shoghi Effendi not brought to the Holy Land? Why he was buried in London?

6.    The Holy writings of Bahá’u’lláh clearly stated that there will be 24 Guardians, but UHJ says that there is only one Guardian, Shoghi Effendi.

7.    The alleged Will of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá says that it is incumbent upon a Guardian to appoint another Guardian in his life time; UHJ says that Guardianship ended with Shoghi Effendi.

8.    ‘Abdu’l-Bahá called Mason Remy as his spiritual son but UHJ say he was a Covenant Breaker.

9.    There are at least 13 recognized sects in Bahá’í Faith but the UHJ says there are no sects.

We ask the Blessed Beauty for endowing His youthful followers with an immense collective capacity for service, and we beseech Him that these conferences will be realized in benefit to humankind.

Interesting Site for Bahais and for non-Bahais

August 10, 2013 Leave a comment

bahai volunteers in HaifaI have maintained for a long time that there is no spirituality in the Bahai Faith. That their meetings are only an excuse for people to mingle with members of the opposite sex and have a good time. This is one site which conclusively establishes that claim – http://bahaiculture.blogspot.in/

The author of this blog has painstakingly made a collection of Bahai events and the shameless behavior displayed by Bahais. They seem to have no respect for any kind of culture, except their own which is about immodesty, immorality and everything which is un-Islamic.

My Muslim readers should note that Bahai culture reflects everything that Islam does not permit. In fact their culture is so opposite to Islam that it seems that their culture was brought to oppose Islam only. Hijaab is not there, singing, dancing and mingling of men and women is encouraged…

This is another proof for my Muslim readers to know the falsity of the Bahais!

How skilled people get Elected to the Universal House of Justice?

The "Skilled" Ones

The “Skilled” Ones

By an Ex-Counselor who wish to remain Anonymous.
We Baha’is denounce politics whatsoever. We are not supposed to be part of any government ministry nor any political party. Yet, those in authority at the highest level at UHJ are adept at politics.
There are many unwritten rules and code words being passed around to manipulate the administration functioning. Things are so professionally managed that a common Baha’i continue to repose his trust in the supreme body.
As an insider who had served for a few years at Haifa, I have seen many such stage managed events. The most prominent being the elections to UHJ.
Criteria for rising in cadre at Haifa…as follows

Was Baha’ullah a Prophet or Imposter??!

August 10, 2013 Leave a comment

Courtesy : http://www.angelfire.com/journal/baha/bahastatus.html

In Islam, worship of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) is one of the gravest sins you can commit. Muslims don’t like being called ‘Muhammeddans’ as they belive that it gives the wrong impression that they worship the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Now  ( some of the ) Bahais try to imitate this by telling others not to call their religion ‘Bahaism’ as they say it is same as calling Islam- Muhammedanism. They say that the right word for their religion is ‘Bahai faith’. On the look of it everything looks fine. But one has to remember that all that glitters is not gold. Let us look at some of the facts and Bahai beliefs and decide whether it is the same as in the case of Islam or not.

Isn’t Bahaullah considered to be a prophet by the Bahais?

Well, the answer is not that simple, we better let the Bahais answer this question for they themselves are very much confused about the station of Bahaullah. Sometimes he is spoken of as God himself & sometimes as a Prophet of God ( They both arent the same, are the? ).  I will merely reproduce here a few of his writing and let the Bahais account for this.

House of Baha’u’llah in Baghdad destroyed..now what?

July 30, 2013 2 Comments

baghdadhouseVery often we hear that the Baha’is have been deported from certain countries, and then are banned in many countries. There has been arrest of Baha’is, There has been violence against them because of their deceptive Proselytizing of children of other Faiths. Their properties have been destroyed; they have been accused of immorality, elopement, document forgery, financial scams, high rate of divorce, etc.

Earlier Baha’is were even involved in Murders of Azalis, Opium Trade, Killing and Shunning of those not believing in Baha’u’llah and Abdul Baha.

Today, the Baha’is and the Baha’i administration preaches that they are the most peace loving people on earth, so much loving that they fail to realize the immorality of their own community but wants to engage themselves in refining the other communities especially the children, the youths and the women of other religions.

Shoghi Effendi was Likely a Tormented Closeted Homosexual…

March 18, 2013 Leave a comment

By Michael Zargarov

Greetings all.

About 20 years ago I was introduced to Mildred Mottahedeh at a conference in Arizona. Hand of the Cause BillSears introduced us because he knew I yearned to teach the faith in Eastern Europe, and he knew that Mildred had a particular interest there too. Later in 1990, at her suggestion, I pioneered to Prague, Czechoslovakia. I was there 18 months, and traveled from Prague to Russia, and to Alma Ata, Kazakhstan in order to visit with and help teach among long-out-of-contact believers. Still later, at various times, I was hosted for dinner at Mildred’s sumptuous apartment overlooking the United Nations complex in NYC.

Once in late 1992 I took Mildred to a concert of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony at the Lincoln Center. On the way we stopped at a drugstore. When she came back to the car, Mildred showed me a gold locket which held hair from Baha’u’llah. She told me that Shoghi had given it to her when she WITNESSED his marriage to Ruhiyyih. Mildred and her husband bought a limousine for Shoghi to use, which he later loaned to Ben Gurion when “Israel” was established.Mildred Mottahedeh had known May Maxwell [Shoghi Effendi’s wife, known as Ruhiyyih Khanum] since the 1920s. They were close confidants and best friends. Before Violette Nakhjavani took over as “companion” to Ruhiyyih, Mildred held that honor.

Deprogramming from the Baha’i World Faith

March 18, 2013 2 Comments

My personal experience of deprogramming from the Baha’i World Faith taught me more about myself, and humanity than I’d learned in my 45 years of being a Baha’i. Why? Because when I was a Baha’i I was right, my religion was right, there was no need for me to question anything. My independent search for the truth had ended and I had found my pie in the sky; well actually I had been indoctrinated into that way of seeing the world, of seeing myself. Seeing myself and my religion as the answer to all the worlds problems, if only they’d believe. It took several years of seeing the many clear contradictions in the Baha’i Faith, the many clear contradictions in the Baha’i writings, before I finally began to wake up from my indoctrinated slumber, before I stopped blaming myself for seeing all those clear contractions.

When I now contemplate such things as the Baha’i World Faith’s National Spiritual Assembly of the USA taking the Orthodox Baha’i Faith to court in an attempt to prevent Orthodox Baha’is from calling themselves Baha’is, from using Baha’i terminology in their religion, I can clearly see that the judge in the case didn’t error in ruling against the Baha’i World Faith, as well that he was right on to reprimand the National Spiritual Assembly of the USA for their attempt to quash the religious rights and freedoms of others. I also realized that this sort of religious thinking is the Most Great Divisiveness and is unworthy of a religion which supposedly has as it’s pivot the teaching of the oneness of humanity. I’ve come to see that the actual pivot of the Baha’i World Faith is not an inclusive and true oneness of humanity but an exclusive oneness of Baha’iness, a false oneness based on the belief that all of humanity needs to believe as we Baha’is believe.

Cheers
