A.Wrong Bahai Census claimed by Bahai Adminstration

Shalom Scott in one of his observation said that,  “During my time as a Baha’i, I saw potential converts lied to by Baha’is regarding the membership of the Faith. The Baha’is, especially the Baha’i leadership, have always grossly inflated the ‘official’ numbers in order to present an inaccurate picture to the world (as well as to individuals considering conversion) and to make the Faith seem much more successful and influential than it really is.

A CHARACTERISTIC of the Baha’i administration is dishonesty in dealing with their census. This trickery takes place sometimes in the form of absolute exaggeration of numbers and at other times in the form of the suppression and concealment of facts; at times through the omission or perversion of essential facts or their presentation (rather misrepresentation) in such a manner so as to falsify actual data. to convey to the world that Baha’i Faith is very well accepted by the masses.”Regarding their numbers, the Baha’is have indulged in gross exaggeration. Ask Baha’is about their numbers and “Millions” is the usual figure claimed by them. The Baha’i census claims that there are 6 to 7.2 million adherents of the Faith in the world which is nothing but a blatant LIE.

Professor Juan Cole of the University of Michigan commented in April 2001 that, since 1968, 50% of the people who entered the bahai faith have left it. According to him, the usual figure for most Christian denominations is approximately 80% retention, meaning about only 20% decide to leave once they become a member. See Professor Cole’s comment below that even 5 million Baha’is worldwide is exaggerated by the Baha’i administration.

50% is truly a remarkably high number and reveals emphatically that something is indeed wrong about the atmosphere within the bahai faith. Often the new adherent quickly comes to realize someting is wrong behind the facade of love and brotherhood.

The FULL TEXT of the New Mexico lawsuit reveals what many of the problems are that are driving sensitive and thoughtful people out of the bahai faith in droves.

Juan Cole has also stated that according to the official census figures of India there are approximately only 5,000 bahais that they were able to find in the country compare with the millions claimed by the Bahai Administration, a fact worth lingering on….

The Official consecutive Government record shows decreasing Baha’i population and not the fastest growing religion as claimed by Baha’i Administration.

Usually the Governments where the population of a religious sect is insignificant they take them into ‘Others” . The cunning Baha’is make use of this unmentioned Baha’i population and write for that country number which is massive exaggeration hoping that nobody will go deep into the matter.

Thanks to Internet that the Baha’is lies are getting exposed. The various governments are coming out with exact Baha’i numbers which is just a fraction of what the Baha’i Administration claims. Moreover if someone compares the two consecutive census of a country he will find that the Baha’i numbers have actually decreased whereas all other Faiths have increased. This is well seen in the census of United States, India and New Zealand.

What should be done?

It is a duty of every sincere Baha’i to write to Universal House of Justice and ask them why there is gross exaggeration in the Baha’i population in every country? What aim of the Baha’i Faith is served by these manipulated Baha’i figures?

Why there is decreasing trend of Baha’i numbers in various countries? Who is responsible for such deceit?  How Baha’i Faith is the fastest growing Religion?

If Baha’i Faith is amongst the revealed Faith then why the Baha’i Administration is so keenly and cleverly  indulging in propagating wrong figures.

Are we supposed to believe that Baha’i Faith is an NGO off course the most comfortable NGO which has no relation with divinity and as other NGOs exaggerate their numbers, we also do?

Please await the answer and the moment you hear from them “Forget about these government reports” immediately understand that the Persian hands are working behind it the Mohajer, Rezavi, and Jawaheri etc. The true followers of Rehmatullah Mohajar.

Baha’i Population in India – A Report

August 13, 2014 1 Comment

I- During my time as a Baha’i, I saw potential converts lied to by Baha’is regarding the membership of the Faith. The Baha’is, especially the Baha’i leadership, have always grossly inflated the ‘official’ numbers in order to present an inaccurate picture to the world (as well as toindividuals considering conversion) and to make the Faith seem much more successful and influential than it really is.

The Faith is really a ‘footnote’ religion, in my view, and all the peace/race unity statements and p. r. in the world will not change this.…

I do not know how to solve the above problem, except to be completely honest and open to the public and to people who may be interested in the Faith. It does little good to ‘hide’ things regarding the Faith that may be unpleasant or misunderstood, intending to reveal these things later when the new Baha’i has been in the Faith for a few years. If people feel that they’ve had the wool pulled over their eyes, they will leave or become disenchanted. Believe me, I observed this phenomenon over and over during my years as a Baha’i. These are just some friendly observations from someone who is familiar with Baha’i matters.Wishing everyone the best.
Shalom Scott

II- Juan Cole (a professor of religious history and studies at the University of Michigan) commented in April 2001 that, since 1968, 50% of the people who entered the bahai faith have left it. 50% is truly a remarkably high number and reveals emphatically that something is indeed wrong about the atmosphere within the bahai faith, once one has declared one’s belief and is taken into the fold to be properly censored, coerced, and manipulated….Bahai fanatics online exude the same duplicity and dishonesty the new adherent quickly comes to realize is normative behind the facade of love and brotherhood.The Baha’i census that claim 6 to 7.2 million adherents is -A LIE- A LIE- an actual exaggeration of the real numbers.
III- In India Baha’i converts in India are only required to declare: ” their belief in Baha’u’llah as an avatar”. Thing is Warren Hindus also believe that Buddha was an avatar but this doesn’t make them Buddhists. The Baha’i claim of some 3 million Baha’is in India is most obviously bogus.
William Garlington
IV- Why the need to send people around to keep LSA membership up to nine if the Baha’i faith is actually growing?As Baha’is pass away they are not being replaced. Not even many children of Baha’is are signing up? Why, because it has become apparent to many people that the Baha’i faith is the same old,same old; that the Baha’i faith is in fact indistinguishable from past organised religions – more of a cause of disunity in the world than a cause of unity.

CENSUS

A census refers to the procedure of systematically acquiring and recording information about the members of a given population. It includes an official count of a particular population and to add relevance, is conducted regularly.The data collected through such census is commonly used for research, business marketing, and planning as well as a base for sampling surveys. In some countries, census data is used to apportion electoral representation.Census has its uses as well as it is open to misuse. While census is largely used to establish trends (social, financial, business or otherwise), some groups use it to falsely establish that their religion / sect / group is more widely accepted than what may be the reality.
BAHA’I CENSUS
A CHARACTERISTIC of the Baha’i administration is dishonesty in dealing with their census. This trickery takes place sometimes in the form of absolute exaggeration of numbers and at other times in the form of the suppression and concealment of facts; at times through the omission or perversion of essential facts or their presentation (rather misrepresentation) in such a manner so as to falsify actual data.In the writing of political history and in scheming for the triumph of a political party, we may expect crookedness in dealing with facts. However in the propagating of a new religion designed to supersede Christianity and Islam, and purporting to be an improvement on them, we do not expect to find dishonesty and misrepresentation in the number of actual adherents. Yet this is exactly what we find – “a readiness to ignore or suppress facts, and propagation of absolutely false and exaggerated data to convey to the world that Baha’i Faith is very well accepted by the masses.”Regarding their numbers, the Baha’is have indulged in gross exaggeration. Ask Baha’is about their numbers and “Millions” is the usual figure claimed by them. The Baha’i census claims that there are 6 to 7.2 million adherents of the Faith in the world which is nothing but a blatant LIE.
Baha’is Population in INDIA
The official Indian Baha’i site is actually misleading its visitors. They claim to be a 2.2 million strong community in India alone, which is obviously bogus and false.There are some real problems with the calculation of Baha’i population. I had my own doubts and questions about the reported numbers and wondered to what extent the teachings of the Faith had any real impact upon people in rural areas who had reportedly become Baha’is in such large numbers.One when looks at the Baha’i census of India whom Baha’i claims have largest number of Baha’is, immediately one will understand that there are three types of Baha’i census.
All official…
1-Bahai Census projected by Baha’i Administration through their websites.
They project about 2.2 million Baha’is in India.
Ref: (1) http://bahai.in/ ]
2-Bahai Census projected by Baha’i Administration in their newsletters and Annual Report.
Here they are of the opinion that there are hundred thousand Baha’is.
[Ref: (2) Annual Report Ridvan 165 B.E. 2007-2008 ]
3-Bahai Census given by Government of India in their official census report.
However, the official census of Government of India has something else to offer.
Official census of The Government of India
A-Census of 1991
The official Census of Government of India taken in 1991 puts Baha’i population as 5,575 (2,966 men and 2,609 women)
[Ref: (3) Indian Census Returns, 1991, for the Baha’is of India.]
B-Census of 2001
The official Census of Government of India taken in 2001 puts Baha’i population as 11,324 (6,138 men and 5,186 women)
[Ref: (4) Census of India, 2001]
Baha’is are quick to point out that the official census is false and full of prejudice, as most of the census officers are Hindu and they do not carry out their work honestly. They are however slow in their observation that all Baha’i census are carried out by overzealous Baha’i officers and that no person should question their integrity!It is not a hidden fact that the census conducted by the Government of India is carried out very meticulously by sincere and dedicated officers going door to door covering every household. Even if we give a 5% advantage it will not exceed 12,000. Furthermore, in questioning leading Baha’i administrators and other knowledgeable Baha’is asking them about the Baha’i population in India they have said somewhere between 13000, to 14,000. There was ready acknowledgement of the occurrence of what Juan called “fraudulent” teaching in his post.
Out of these 11,324 Baha’is,
1-Most of them are Persian
2-Some are those who have signed the card thinking that Baha’i Faith is a social organization.
3-Some of them have signed due to deception.
4-In Pune it was reported that Persian Baha’is have gone to the villages and they have asked illiterate villagers to sign the card offering the temptation that signees would receive some scholarship.
5-In Madhya Pradesh, Baha’i speakers have gathered masses giving some lectures and the speaker asking the question. Is there any one amongst you who does not believe in God? The audience responded ‘No’. The speaker then exhorted them to sign the card.
6-One of the Bahai official who visited India in 1984 claimed in his speech at the Baha’i Centre that he would have easily collected 200 addresses of people saying they are Baha’is although they gathered there under the name of a Medical Camp.
7-Many false addresses were given to acquire number of delegates especially in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
Why should the Baha’i authorities wish to project an image more than its reality?
1-It is in order to present an inaccurate picture to the world (as well as to individuals considering conversion) and to make the Faith seem much more successful and influential than it really is.
2-These addresses are recorded as “Bahais” to show to the Government of India as the number of Baha’is to gain minority status by deception and to avail all the facilities and privileges given by Government of India to its minorities.
Conclusion
It was fairly apparent that declaring oneself a Baha’i did not mean that an individual was being put in the position of having to “leave” his own religious tradition (which in this case was primarily Hindu). The declared Baha’i for the most part continued to practice traditional behavioral idioms. Moreover there was little indication that they had abandoned the Hindu “world view”.It originated from Iran the most of the high ranking officers are Persian with head quarter in Israel.They have incorporations of Assemblies, cluster growth reflection meetings, administrative sanctions, deprivation of voting rights, elected arms appointed arms, elections at local state and national assemblies, counselors, auxiliary board members etc to fit requirements of an NGO and not a divine religion. Surely these are far from the conditions satisfying the requirements of major religions of the world.My own conclusion was that the Baha’i Faith better fits the category of an NGO and not one of the eight major religions of the world as is claimed by the Baha’is.My Iranian friends should not be made to believe that the world is full of fools. Rather they are living in a fool’s paradise. By simple repetition a lie cannot and will not become the truth. The Baha’i population in India is not more than 13,000 and in the world by any means they are not more than one hundred thousand.
For a religion to progress and propagate, sincere service is required to attract the masses and not lip service to attract the masses and then believing that they have abandoned the religion of their ancestors.
They cannot increase their numbers by Ruhi books or by simply parroting Ana’s presentation.

Bahá’u’lláh, the prophet Founder of the Bahá’í Faith, speaks of religion as the most potent force for civilizing human character and for the establishment of order, peace and justice in society. The Baha’is of India are actively engaged in a process of individual and social transformation involving men, women, children and youth of the larger society in a collective learning enterprise. The guidance and resources for all these activities are channeled through local, regional and national governing councils. There are seventeen regional and about 700 local councils functioning harmoniously in a spirit of non-adversarial consultation under the aegis of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of India, which is the apex body looking after the affairs of the Baha’i community in India. Through these efforts and in collaboration with a number of like minded organisations, the Baha’is are learning to address the challenges of caste and class prejudice, gender inequality, communal disharmony, lack of education, violence, poverty, corruption and moral degradation, in order to generate communities that are governed by the principles of love, justice, equality and rectitude of conduct.”

Facts About Bahai Numbers in India (from a reader)

August 13, 2014 Leave a comment

Interesting Comment by S. Khare (Bhopal,INDIA)

Dear Sir

Your article about Baha’i census is well written and well researched. It is absolutely true that Baha’i s exaggerate their numbers many fold so as to project that they are accepted by the masses. I feel that the situation is not just in India but must be in every country.

There are a few more reason so as to how the Baha’i s calculate their exaggerated number.

A-Once a Baha’i is registered in their record (By whatever means) he becomes immortal and he never dies. So the Indian Baha’i census has all those Bahais who registered themselves since the time of Abdul Baha and Shoghi effendi.

B-It is a universal phenomenon, every where that Bahais usually signed the card not knowing that it is an independent religion. After his realization he leaves the Faith and he is no more a Bahai. But the Baha’i administration believes that “Once a Baha’i Always a Baha’i”. The process is irreversible.

C-Bahais usually multiply their number many folds thinking that every Baha’i must be married and therefore must be having a wife and few children.

D-Those paid workers in the Baha’i Faith, to justify their salaries and their effectiveness have collected a number of non existing addresses

Reality of Bahai faith is assessed after ,
1-removing the name of Bahais once they die.
2-removing the Cards of the Bahais once they leave the Faith.
3-checking all the addresses collected by the National Office, whether those people exist or not.

It is only then that the number 11,000 is the most appropriate figure as given by Official census of Government of India.
At the end I would like to quote your sentence, “For a religion to progress and propagate, sincere service is required to attract the masses and not lip service to attract the masses and then believing that they have abandoned the religion of their ancestors”.

Bahai lies exposed in US census too!

August 13, 2014 1 Comment

Bahais claim that there are 1,75,000 Baha’is in US. But the official census says something else. The official census of United States  says that “there were 28,000 Baha’is in US in 1990, then in 2001 it figure went up to 84,000 (entry by troops?) then again in 2008 it dropped down to 49000 (exodus by troops!)”.

Feedback from an Ex-Bahai on Bahai Numbers…

April 6, 2012 2 Comments

One of the visitors to TheBahaiInsider.com wrote this email so I thought it best to share it with you all…

My opinion is that the Baha’i membership statistics are highly distorted and basically false. I will tell you the reasons I know this.

I was an active member of this religion for at least 15 years, was a member of their administrative bodies, including a state committee that had the membership roll for the state. (I remember well the computer printout.)

The reality is that Baha’i membership is a great big “churn.” That is to say, it’s continually gaining new members and losing active members. Disaffected or alienated members fade into the woodwork. But the members who become inactive or disaffected remain on their rolls as statistics. For example, I have been disaffected from the Baha’i Faith for at least 15 years, and would even consider myself an active enemy of this religion at this point. (I feel it promotes race-destruction and racial destruction without offering a body of genuine religious knowledge.) However, my name is still counted on their membership rolls. My case is no doubt very common.

Bahai Faith in Israel: An Insider’s View

August 21, 2011 Leave a comment

The Baha’i administration claims there is no resident Baha’i population in Israel. The 650-700 Baha’is who can be found here at any given time are all volunteers who have come from some 85 countries to do service for periods ranging from a few months to a few years. The Baha’is who live here as tourists or temporary residents do not engage in any form of missionary activity. Some people erroneously believe that this is in accordance with the country’s anti-missionary laws, but in fact it is a self-imposed Baha’i prohibition against seeking or accepting new believers into the Baha’i faith in the Holy Land that dates back to the time when the country was still under Ottoman rule.

No one knows why. It is one of several inexplicable Baha’i regulations (Read more about this regulation).

It is a well known fact that according to a letter of Universal House of Justice1 the Baha’i s are not suppose to teach and convert the Jew population in Israel. Infact if a Jew outside Israel wants to accept Baha’i Faith and settle in Israel, then his declaration card is not to be accepted.

Russian Bahai Census: How Many Actually?

August 14, 2011 3 Comments

For Baha’is decimal places don’t count! Baha’i Faith transacts only in hundreds. Small currencies don’t exist. And now, this has been seen in Russia!

No one would believe that behind the solid iron curtain and fool proof government watch, such manipulations can prosper! Strange but true, the Baha’i Faith official census can fool all systems.

Going by the words (and not spirit) of deceased guardian of Baha’i Faith – Shoghi Effendi – “Bahá’u’lláh has entrusted the sacred duty of every Baha’i to spread the Faith”, the Baha’is have found an easier way to spread the faith. SPREAD THE NUMBER!

Shocking disclosure by Baha’i news India

August 14, 2011 Leave a comment

The recent monthly circulation of Baha’is, The BAHÁ’Í NEWS I N D I A ISSUE VII JULY 2010 has revealed shocking facts, through an article titled “Preparations of Government of India Census 2011”, These are summarized as under:

1. There have been rigorous conversion activities over the past fifty years by the Baha’i Faith.

2. These conversions were accelerated with the construction of the Lotus Temple at Delhi and with the visits of Hands of the Cause Dr. Rahmatulláh Muhájir, and Amatu’l- Bahá Ruhiyyih Khánum.

3. Though the Baha’i records of the data on Baha’i population shows that one time it had crossed two millions yet the Census of India reports of 1971, 1981, 1991 and 2001 show only a fraction of the total number Baha’is throughout the country. This means that the census department of India fumbled four times to give accurate number of Baha’is. Just to cite an example, Baha’i census figures in 1991 was 5575 and in 2001 it was 11,324 against 2.2 millions claimed by the Baha’i administration.

Bahai Population in Iran: Still Counting?

August 14, 2011 4 Comments

Iran Census

How Many Bahais in Iran? Can we believe even these numbers?

There has always been confusion about the actual population of the followers of the Baha’i Faith in every country since its origin. Regarding their numbers, “millions” is the usual figure claimed by them.

The reason for this confusion is the fact that Baha’is are wont to give fake ‘percentage Baha’i population’ for every country. Thanks to the internet – their lies are getting exposed. The number of countries and localities varies with each web site. There is ‘no consensus’ regarding the actual number of countries, the actual number of localities, and the actual number of Baha’i. This trouble in the Baha’i population is not generated by the Baha’i Administration themselves but it is just the continuation of what Abdul Baha and Shoghi Effendi have done.

World Bahai Census: How Many Bahais?

August 14, 2011 3 Comments

Recently two articles posted on net effectively analyzed the exaggerated Baha’i claims of their numbers. One was “Exit by troops” (http://www.angelfire.com/ca3/bigquestions/troopsexit.html) and the other “Three types of Baha’i census of India”. (http://bahaicensusindia.blogspot.com)

The first article is a very moderate view of the author, whereas the second article “The Three Type of Baha’i census of India” is much deeper analysiation supported by documents authenticated by figures.

The common point in the two analyses is the fact that the key reason for this huge discrepancy in Baha’i census is that no one is ever removed from the membership rolls unless they write a letter to the National Center renouncing their belief. So a person who becomes disillusioned and simply drifts away can remain on the rolls indefinitely. Once a Baha’i then always a Baha’i even after his death.’
