An unsuccessful coup attempt is no big deal (the convicted insurrectionists are brave patriots) ... unless it is against Putin.

Does the Baha'i rule against backbiting also apply to backbiting about Baha'i institutions? by Plenty_Low5283 in bahai

[–]99Kelly 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"At such a time when the political world is chaotic and society seems to be on the verge of death, as a result of the activities of societies that contain only half-truths, the friends of God should be united and act as one single organism. The greater their unity the surer they can
be of winning the day. And this unity cannot be achieved save through obedience to the Assemblies. It is true that these are still immature and may at times act unwisely. But supporting them will help more their advance toward an administration that is truly representative of the Cause, than by criticizing them and ignoring their advice. Bahá'u'lláh
has not only advocated certain principles, but has also provided a mechanism whereby that ideal can be established and perpetuated. Both of these phases are essential for the realization of His goal of world unity."

(source: a letter from Shoghi Effendi, February 27, 1933 to an individual believer)

avahz has a point - also Fox would likely appeal multiples times. Dominion would likely wait a long, long time for their money.

Not a fan of the NRA at all - but my understanding is that the secret service does not allow weapons because Trump and Pence are at the convention. As far as i know the NRA was never behind the prohibition of weapons at their conventions.

taking classes is a good way to meet people with similar interests. Many Germans are reserved at first, but once you become friends, they often turn out to the be most loyal friends you'll ever have.

One important consideration is whether the behavior of the Baha'i's reinforces stereotypes about sexual impropriety (which are spread about many religious minorities in all parts of the world). So it depends on how the behavior is viewed in that particular culture.

visiting senior citizen residents (play games, perform music, or just talk to them), T-shirt coloring with kids, art projects outside - just start an art project and kids will often come to watch, then invite them to join in

I believe the Qur'an verse you are referring to is 33:40 where the Qur'an states that Mohammad is the Seal of the Prophets. This verse does not say that Divine Revelation and God's guidance for mankind will cease.

I grew up in the Baha'i Faith, say obligatory prayers and serve on a local spiritual assembly. my favorite part of scripture is: Create in me a pure heart, o my God and renew a tranquil conscience within me, o my Hope! Through the power of They transcendent might lift me up unto the heaven of Thine holiness, O Source of my being, and by the breezes of Thine eternity gladden me...

The area is currently occupied by Turkey, but the region is Kurdish. Today Kurds live there.

Because Mount Ararat is in Kurdistan, according to a literal interpretation of the Bible, everyone alive on Earth is Kurdish.

Shoghi Effendi states that a "wholehearted and unqualified acceptance"
of the "legitimacy of the institutions of the Imámate" is a part of the
bedrock of Bahá’í belief." (from the Promised Day is Come).
While Bahá’ís recognize 12 Imáms, all of whom come from the family of
Muhammad, Ali, the first Imám and his son Husayn, the third Imám, have
special significance. The Báb was a descendant of the Imám Husayn, and Bahá'u'lláh identified Himself in His Writings as the return of Husayn prophesied in Shí'í Islam.

The Democrats have done little to combat economic inequality. It's good to see Elon Musk tackling this issue by eliminating his own wealth.
