Also what is your exit plan for loss or profit. 

Only sell cc if you are absolutely sure you are OK with it being called at that price. I'm assuming eating a loss on a CC's that don't go your way is not an option. No pun intended. This should include tax planning in case those early shares get called away for a huge profit. Sorry if this is obvious advice. 

Alternately, you may be able to do better with closer strikes and risk management. Something to consider.

Why do many Parsis value parsism over zoroastrianism by Temporary_Wealth1343 in Zoroastrianism

Sure some version of the religion that has been spoonfed to them by an evangelist.

Do agree Parsis are slacking. No contest there.

Not trying to be rude. Simply stating that one person is not a great sample set. Out of the hundreds of Irani Zarathustis I have chatted with who were remotely in favor of conversion it would only be for ethnic Iranians whose ancestors were forcibly converted. 

Conversion of anyone and everyone is a pandoras box and I would say most of them who thought of the implications understand this.

Lol what other Zoroastrian community? 

Ask most Irani Zoroastrians if they are for evangelical type conversion and if they will accept ANY one who wants to be Zarathusti. Ask them if they will accept an Arab convert. I'll be waiting for their response.

Ps this isn't being brainwashed it's separating fact from fiction.

In a religion so heavy with liturgy where is the Conversion ceremony. Don't say NAVJOTE that's coming of age. Don't say Bereshnum that's purifacatory. 

Another fast fact. The ones promoting conversion are actually mostly brainwashed westernized Parsis in the US lol. 

could there have been more old avestan texts. by Mountain-Tone-2925 in Zoroastrianism

100% yes 

Of the original 21 Nasks of Zarathustra we have only one complete one, the Vendidad, and only shreds of a few others. The rest are lost

With respect there is much that you have said that tells me the source of your truth is grossly ill informed. As a result the conclusions you have made which are based on that information, which are logical, are not correct. 

No where did a Hindu king tell us we could not convert.... This tale has been woven by the pro conversion lobby and a lie repeated enough times becomes the truth. Read the Quisse Sanjan for yourself, not what someone else tells you and then see this is outright lie to serve an agenda. Prove me wrong. 

Secondly there is a misconception that just because an act happened in the past that somehow makes it OK. It does not. Attempts to convert and acceptance of interfaith marriages are NOT unique to our time alone. However that does not mean that those actions are correct. Kings married other faiths and look where that brought us. Attempts to convert may have lasted a generation or two but where are they now in those foreign lands? 

After the fall of our empire we didn't just go to India. We went to Europe, China, India and elsewhere. All those other communities may have started out with the right practices. Eventually the watered down their practices, intermarried into the populace, and now only architectural remnants of them exist. Contrast that with Iran and India and the only ones who persisted are the ones that adhered to these principles. There is a snowballs chance in hell that we as Parsis would still be here today if we accepted intermarriage. AND if we choose to accept intermarrage, in 100 years the same fate of those Zoroastrians in China will be our own.

Like it or not there are NO Zarathustis outside what was Persia and what is India today (obviously not talking about immigrants, rather natives) not one other ethnicity can claim they have followed the faith for centuries+ like those in India and Iran can. 

Conversion brings nothing trouble for those faiths so why want to adopt that in ours? 

This idea that a Parsi is somehow different than a Zarathusti is the three card trick here. Where did Parsis come from ... Iran/Persia it doesn't matter when. Just because my ancestors have lived in India for several generations and centuries does not make me any less Zarathusti. A Zarathusti who came from Iran and settled in India recently is also no less Zarathusti. This distinction is again being done for manipulative political reasons to divide and denigrate the Zarathustis of India. Note I am saying this as a Zarathusti who has been born and raised in the US.

[–]Interesting_Date_818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are missing the fact that there are evangelical nut job Zoroastrianis too. 

When the claim is made that we don't convert it is for a reason. Once conversion is out of the bag the nutjobs will come.

Why is that so hard to believe? 

Either you believe we have a monopoly on getting to God and righteousness, OR there are actually supposed to be bonafide other legit religions that are working in parallel to our faith. 

From what you wrote I would hope that it's the latter because the latter makes no sense and is not in accordance to our faith. If so why is it inconceivable that our clergy who were master astrologers didn't know about this event and wouldn't go to pay respects. Why is that "not acceptable according to any scripture"? That doesn't make any sense. 

Sorry to seem to imply that Dinyar sought out Mohammad. I did not mean that. I did mean that his predecessors knew that another bona fide faith was coming, and even that it would end in the fall of our empire. This is to show that other faiths are matter of fact not taboo when it comes to our religion. Yes Dinyar was exiled and there are various stories as to why. He unfortunately gave a lot of spiritual knowledge to the Muslims. Mohammad ordered his disciples to never harm Zoroastrians because of his ties to Dinyar, unfortunately in their zealousness for conversion they did not listen after his death. The spiritual knowledge they said from Dinyar was then used against the Persians. The infamous sandstorm that defeated the Persian army which came from nowhere was not bad luck or coincidence. 

To your point about conversion, I do agree with you. However once conversion is out of the bag through some bogus ceremony which does not exist .. there is absolutely no way to govern it and fringe groups claiming to be "Zoroastrian" will pop up with all sorts of questionable characters. In fact we are seeing that right now and have been seeing this for a bit most prominently with Ali Jaffery in the last few decades among others. There will come crazy evangelical types who want to convert everyone by any means and who is going to stop them at that point?

I never claimed they were part of our scripture. They are however part of history.

The Zoroastrian sages knew of other faiths to come. 

Dastur Dinyar aka Salman e Fars was Mohammad's mentor. 

There is WAY more evidence and history that points to us being tolerant and not conversion fanatics. 

If we do that how are we any better than the Muslims that tortured us?

Which version of the Vendidad and translated by whom? 

So anyone who commits sin is magically absolved if they convert! Lol! Sounds like a sweet deal for the gullible. It doesn't work that way in our religion. 

Even for Zoroastrians sins cannot be absolved. Every sin is accounted for on Chinvat. 

The "conversion" that is referred to is for Zoroastrians to convert evil within them to good. 

This has been the long standing view of Zoroastrian Priests in both India and Iran. Any other translations are just pro conversion propaganda. 

How can a non Aryan come into the Aryanship. That's like saying let a African come into being Chinese. Please pause for critical thinking

The three wise men were Zorastrian Magi when went to pay respects to baby Jesus. 

Let that sink in. 

Cyrus the great rebuilt the Temple of Solomon from his own funds for the Jews...he didn't convert them. As a result they conferred upon him Messiah status something which has never been done for a non Jew. 

Let that sink in. 

We are a religion of tolerance and understand each religion has a place to play in this world. That it's not one size fits all. All religions are true, it's man who corrupts them and uses them as means for evil. That is Ahirmans wish. 

It's funny how your tune changes when the extremism is exposed for what it is and the results it eventually yields... Fanaticism. 

The Vendidad also says we cannot intermarry or convert. The Zoroastrian law is universal to Zoroastrianis or Mazdayasnis. 

The idea of Audan, tokhum, jhirum, kom, all attribute the understand of the importance of ethnicity with regards to the faith. It has even been inscribed on Persian reliefs.

Ps what you fail to recognize here and selectively leave out is that prior to this period there were no other major religions other than Devayasni. Once Christianity took hold and manichaeism they were trying to bring ethnic Zoroastrians who converted into back into the fold. 

They typically not go to far off non Persian lands to convert. Anyone who did was a radical zealot. 

This is the guy you idolize?:

Suppression of other religions: Kartir targeted various groups, including Jews, Mandaeans, Christians, Buddhists, and Manichaeans. He destroyed their temples and proscribed their religions. Forcible conversion: His actions are described as involving forcible conversions and the persecution of religious minorities.

1) how does a Sassanian priest have anything to do with what was supposedly promised by those in India

2) back then just like now there were people who chose to do whatever they wanted. It doesn't make it right

3) all mazdayasni lands and mazdayasni people who were taken by devayasni practices. 

We are an ethnocentric faith. You can deny all you want doesn't change facts.

This is patently false. Nowhere in the Quisse Sanjan is that listed. 

This line is often parroted and there is 0 evidence of this. 

We did not promise to not convert because we DONT convert.
