I honestly can't tell if Tony is acting in good faith or not. I'm wavering between the two. He seems like a nice guy, but making posts like this which are specifically calling out Catholics makes it seem like maybe he's purposely trying to get a reaction, because for some reason Christians are...

I respect how passionate you are about your faith but I can assure you I have indeed done my due diligence in determining Baha’i is not for me. Again, I’m not trying to disparage Baha’u’llah. I also disagree that we can’t know God without “the Messengers”. All I’m trying to get across is that it...

I actually came across it on the blog I referenced earlier. I made sure to verify it from it a reputable Baha'i source because as I said before, that blog is definitely not unbiased. I mentioned it as relevant because you keep quoting the Bible.

No, I wasn't looking for Christ, I was looking for the truth. I had already left the Church when I looked into Baha'i so I wasn't biased against the religion in favor of Christianity or anything. In fact, I had only positive opinions of the few Baha'i people I was aware of, who gave me a...

Also, you keep quoting the Bible, but it doesn't appear to be given that much weight by Baha'i? For example, from this source : "As to the question raised by...in connection with Bahá'u'lláh's statement in the 'Gleanings' concerning the sacrifice of Ishmael; although this statement does not...

But that's what I'm saying. You're assuming people who haven't accepted him as from God haven't actually examined his message (although honestly I don't think we're obligated to examine every person who claims prophethood). Personally, I have investigated Baha'i and decided I don't believe in...

Does this refer to the Baha'i theological position that there will be no more prophets for a thousand years? Because, Christians believe the last public revelation was fulfilled with Christ, until He returns. And Muslims see Muhammad as the last Prophet, the Seal of the Prophets. You're not...

Thank you for sharing your journey, its quite interesting and I found it very relatable in a lot of ways. I'll have to check their website out :) Its always nice to meet another neurodivergent person! I have a neurodevelopmental disorder called NVLD, its very similar to autism.

Why aren't you looking? You're not looking for a new Prophet, so why should they be?

If they had done what Catholicism suggested, they would not have contributed to the crisis because what they did was a grave sin. It has nothing to do with Baha'u'llah's advice to marry because getting married wouldn't have prevented them from being sexual predators.

Not to everyone. Some people don't consult the Bible at all when considering prophecy. Non-Abrahamic religions exist. My point was, though, that people not considering Baha'u'llah a prophet is not due to some stubborn attachment to dogma or blind tradition or whatever, the same way you not...

Also this seems to clearly be critical of those who "stop looking for True Prophets"....AKA, Baha'u'llah, because according to Baha'i there are currently no true prophets after him.

How is it not critical to suggest that Catholic monks' refusal to accept Baha'u'llah's authority to instruct them contributed to the sex abuse crisis?

Who defines a true vs. untrue prophet? Some people think Twitchell was a true prophet. I have no problem with you thinking Baha'u'llah is a prophet or that Baha'i is the right religion but why do you claim that people have stopped looking for true prophets? If someone has decided to become a...

I think you noted this elsewhere, but it gets frustrating how so many religions after Christianity just try to 'recycle' Jesus into their theology. I was reading the Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad (Eckankar scripture) recently and I hadn't thought Eckankar was too influenced by Christianity but then lines...

I believe this, and I believe most missionaries are trying to do this too, that they're just trying to give the best truth to people, but you're making comments about the Pope, the head of the Catholic Church, and stating he was wrong not to accept Baha'i. How does that come across to Catholics...

But Sen has shared what the UHJ has offered to him. I think it is our business, as Sen clearly wants people to know of the situation, having shared it publicly online. We need accountability from the religious hierarchies: confidentiality is important in protecting individuals, not institutions...

YOU think it was God's message, but the Pope did not. Clearly, you think he should have converted to Baha'i but maybe he didn't want to? Maybe other people are just as convinced of their religion as you are of yours? The vibe behind your posts seems to be that everyone should be Baha'i but that...

He has attempted to rejoin many times, willing to do what he has to do to remedy the issue, and has been denied repeatedly. He has apparently asked for a reason many times, with no explicit answer. The page I linked from his blog has links to other pages wherein he includes such correspondences.

Surely he deserves an explicit reason? When you're excommunicated they give you a clear reason, with a clear way to remedy it. Does this mean the UHJ is considered infallible?
