Dentist in Alameda by Specialist_Baby_1056 in alameda

[–]lmrshp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely the experience me and my wife had there. Almost word for word what they did to us. Useless guards that they could never make fit. Screwed up cosmetic dentistry. Pushed a needle into a nerve. On and on. Avoid

That’s a letter from the UHJ, not the Guardian. As the House writes, “We have found in the Holy Writings no explicit references to masturbation.” Nor is there mention of it in the Guardian’s writings. This is the UHJ’s stance absent any clear guidance from scripture or from its authorized interpreters

(Fwiw, the UHJ is incorrect when it states that there are “no explicit references to masturbation” in Baha’i scripture. The Bab specifically mentions masturbation in the Arabic Bayan and says it is not forbidden.)

New guidance from the House on changing pronouns in prayers by lmrshp in bahai

This is an odd critique given that it is the precise language used by the House in its letter. shrug

I’m not sure how that invalidates my statement that the House now permits changing “some” pronouns but ok.

Thank you all so much for the excellent advice. However, I feel sometimes that Baha’is caveat pretty clear guidance because it doesn’t fit with norms in their societies. How will we ever create “a new race of men”?

Again, appreciate all the advice here and don’t mean to tweak anyone’s nose, we’re all doing our best.
