From: Fran Baker <fran@gershwin.dgii.com> Subject: Re: fw Timothy Mulligan Re: Why I left Date: Thursday, August 13, 1998 11:57 AM Timothy, I don't know if you'll see this, since it is only posted to arb, but here goes (maybe Fred can forward, if necessary). If there is a talk.religion.bahai, then it is more likely that rank and file Baha'is and other will see posts like yours and perhaps benefit from a good look in the mirror. I think the problems you see have become this intense only relatively recently (last 20 years or so). This tide could be reversed, and I think that is what Fred wants. I am also tempted to tell him to take his wife to the Bahamas and sit on the beach with a very large and strong pina colada! But since he is willing to bang his head against the wall one more time and has some chance of getting this passed, I am willing to help. I do agree with you that the Baha'i Faith is THE religion of contradictions and intellectual hypocracy. The obsession with converting, controlling, and fundraising (all meta-activities, not religious/spiritual activities) is the final bancrupting of the movement. (And stop making me ROTFL with your pot shots at Baha'u'llah. You're a very bad boy!) Warmest unaffiliated regards, Fran Homepage |
