Fred,
You really are trying to destroy the reputation of the Baha'is in public,
aren't you? How sad for you and for the Faith we are trying to promote. :( How
does your posting of the rantings of malcontents who criticize everything in
the Faith constitute having a sin-covering eye, which is what the Faith
teaches we need? I wish you well. You are going to need it in the next world
when you have to face God and He asks what you did to try to help the
Cause. This is pitiful. And just when the boards were starting to have a nice
positive tone and actually attract seekers after begin bombarded with
Covenant-breakers. PLEASE consider what you're doing. Give it a really good
look and decide for yourself if this is what 'Abdul-Baha would do. Listen to
your own heart, not me. But you also might consider how incredibly sad and
depressed you make any Baha'i who reads your posts. Is this really what you
want to do? Does it give you a sense of power in a chaotic world? What is
really in this for you? I can't imagine it brings you anything other than
misery either. You'll never find the Baha'is perfect enough for you, because
we aren't perfect. But to bring up our faults, and the malicious backbiting or
criticism of others concerning our faults in public like this is a travesty.
Again, please, please consider what you're doing, and whether or not at
the end of your life you will be happy or miserable at the choices you
made.
Love and peace, Wendy
