I waited 24 hours and saw other messages, but not mine. I'll post it here. It relates to Dr. Maneck's post on Dr. Cole's post.Smaneck wrote:>While there were no doubt numerous mistakes made in the manner in which Dr. Cole and >some other academics were dealt with ...I think there is a question about whether Dr. Cole was dealt with by individual members of the UHJ - or the House as a body. By dealing with him through ABMs and Councelors, is there a "legitimate sphere of authority" as you have written?The way Dr. Cole, and other academics were dealt with, as well as the changed stance on unmoderated internet discussions -- it raises legitimate questions about... > whether or not the Universal House of Justice *is* operating within "its > legitimate sphere of authority"?It would not hurt to review what is the legitimate sphere of authority of the UHJ!Speaking for myself, a Bahai of over 20 years, I never paid to much attention to this and just lumped all their actions into "divinely inspired", but the events of last 5 years have been a wake-up call to deepen myself on this topic.Bud-----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- https://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own Homepage |
