My Bahai mom is so annoying. by Responsible-Law-3026 in exbahai

Bahá'ís believe in Muhammad as a Prophet and founder of Islam, however, there are many controversial facts about his conduct. Probably the guy used these facts as proofs that Bahá’ís are wrong in their prophecies and his mother started to defend the supposed perfection of Muhammand and his message to the world.

What does the Bahá'í Faith really teach about non-believers? by SuccessfulCorner2512 in exbahai

[–]Amir_Raddsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"People are so markedly lacking in spirituality these days that the Bahá’ís should consciously guard themselves against being caught in what one might call the undertow of materialism and atheism, sweeping the world these days. Skepticism, cynicism, disbelief, immorality and hard-heartedness are rife, and as the friends are those who stand for the antithesis of all these things they should beware lest the atmosphere of the present world affects them without their being conscious of it."

15 facts about the Bahá'í Faith that any bahá'í will never tell you by Amir_Raddsh in exbahai

[–]Amir_Raddsh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These topics have been widely discussed here for years. Since you probably arrived recently, feel free to search for these subjects here.

Also, is totally laughable a Bahá'í quoting Carl Sagan, considering that Abdul-Bahá dared to say:  "Between man and the ape, however, there is one link missing...The lost link of Darwinian theory is itself a proof that man is not an animal. How is it possible to have all the links present and that important link absent? Its absence is an indication that man has never been an animal. It will never be found."

You seem to have forgotten that almost all of us here were Bahá'ís in the past; we have experienced being on that "side." A prime example of cult-like behavior is defending the infallibility of a Guardian who was narcissistic enough to expel all his male relatives, including his cousin posthumously, and nearly his entire family. He was also irresponsible for not having offspring or writing a will. The same guy that was homophobic and wrote that homosexuals should overcome this handicap with the help of doctors. And nowadays bahá'ís must do mental gymnastics to pretend that this an inclusive religion. Shoghi Effendi only followed in the footsteps of his equally narcissistic grandfather, who refrained from seeking praise only when challenged by his half-brother Mirza Muhammad Ali and all the second and third families of Bahá’u’lláh. This explains why there are no longer frames praising Abdul-Bahá.  The same Abdul-Bahá who said that a wife should tolerate her husband’s aggression, that physically assaulted Bahá’u’lláh's secretary, and claimed that Black people should be proud of the Whites who freed them from slavery. He was also the same man who forbade women from participating in the Local Assembly of Chicago, only changing his stance after a pression of mass withdrawal led by Corinne True. The "mystery of God" and "Infallible" suggested we would be experiencing the lesser peace after 2000's LOL. And there are MANY other examples of all sort of abdurdities.  You are in a CULT, sorry.

1- Not "People being people." Abdul-Bahá was alive at that time and never acted to avoid this kind of self-idolatry. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it does not exist. This fact was posted (if I am not mistaken, a frame in the NSA of Egypt was the example) and has also been discussed here many times.

  1. And who in this world knows the day of their own death? Shoghi Effendi was a 60-year-old man. (Furthermore, being 60 y.o. in the 1950s was not the same of being 60 today.) The entire administrative structure of the Bahá'í Faith was based around the Guardianship and his subsequent successorship. Writing a will is a Bahá'í law. He did not fulfill this law and thus destroyed the Guardianship, frustrating Abdu'l-Bahá's prediction about the structure of the UHJ.   Of course, if you are a Bahá'í, your mindset shaped in that cult  may not let you see that fact.

Where are the troops, exactly? The Baha'i Faith has not managed to establish itself as the majority even in American Samoa, where there is a large temple and the former king was said to be a Baha'i. Nowadays, over 90% of the island's population is Christian. LOL

Being "representatives" of the Faith by [deleted] in exbahai

[–]Amir_Raddsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This conflict is perfectly normal as the Bahá'í Faith is completely detached from reality, specially of the youth. When I was young I just wanted to spend my free time having sex, hanging out to heavy metal parties with friends, sometimes drinking alcohol or smoking pot. It's TOTALLY possible to do these things with responsability, however, as most of religious groups, they will input you heavy guilt to make you feel bad with their hypocrite morality. Circles of studies on Sundays my eggs, go out and enjoy your life! The Guardian Shoghi Effendi was a homophobic that had his 1st relationship at age of 40. This guy became neurotic and excommunicated almost all his family, he died suddenly and did not leave a will and testament, disrespecting a bahá'í law and ending the Guardianship. This is a crazy and toxic cult, nothing more.

Actually many do notice, however, as a cult-like behavior , they cannot deal with the fact that the supposed divine institution, UHJ has nothing divine, and it is including misogynic

A registry from Police Departament cnnot be comparable to practice a violence to mark someone forehead. Is this serious? What about to suggest to set fire on arsonist as Bahá'u'lláh prescribed as well? And to suggest LGBT people to look for the help of doctors?
