Already given it to you but like Shoghi Effendi you're trying to ignore it. Abdu'l-Baha's 1912 Authentic Covenant Abdu'l-Baha's 1912 Authentic Covenant An Analysis of Abdul-Baha's 1912 Authentic Covenant Comments on Abdul-Baha's 1912 Authentic Covenant Ruth White. Abdul Baha's...

What was weak was Shoghi Effendi's response to Ruth White when she and other early Bahais figured out what his family and he had done. Evading her charge confirmed it. Shoghi Effendi's "evidence" for the authenticity of the purported will and testament was and is the weakest link in the chain of...

It's false to characterize criticism of criminal acts as ad hominem. You might want to look up the meaning. But one of the oldest tactics of apologists, when confronted with a truth they cannot handle, is to try to change the subject: "No lawyer or judge would in the United States or Western...

...sic. Ludicrous... No lawyer or judge would in the United States or the Western, indeed much of the world, would consider a perported, unprobated will and testament authentic, especially when it was translated by the very person who was its beneficiary, as Ruth White observed, Shoghi...

I find it a fair outline of Bahai. Most ought to be able to accept and agree with your piece without qualms. It's largely all the organizational matters that the various denominations disagree over. Nice focus on the universals. Well written! I live in Michigan or I'd be happy to help out.

The court cases were far more than "pettiness." You might want to spend some time on the Orthodox Baha'i website: True Bahá'í: Court case

NOTE WELL, What's purported to be Abdul-Baha's will and testament has never been probated or authenticated independently of those who were and are its beneficiaries... Ruth White Collection, Library of Congress, 1930 http://reformbahai.org/images/WhiteLCDocs.pdf

To repeat, in my response to Sen McGlinn's mistaken attempt to discredit Dr. C. Ainsworth Mitchell's Report, I point out briefly the key fact: What's purported to be Abdul-Baha's will and testament has never been probated or authenticated independently of those who were and are its...

Long suppressed by Bahais of other denominations, Reform Bahais have returned to, and renewed, Abdul-Baha's 1912 Authentic Covenant Abdu'l-Baha's 1912 Authentic Covenant "After Abdul-Baha—whenever the Universal House of Justice is organized it will ward off differences." Of the several Bahai...

Wil, The Haifan ideology has always held that it alone has the Truth. Following the Shiite interpretations of Shoghi Effendi, especially takfir, declaring a Muslim/Bahai has departed from the Faith, Haifan Baha'is aren't, shall we say, constitutionally capable of respecting the conscience of...

The Haifan Baha’i administration, while publicly hiding behind a facade of liberalism, essentially practices Islamic “takfir,” labeling people “kafir” or infidels, and issuing fatwas, denying the very existence of other Bahais and denominations, all indicative of the worst in the Shiite Islamic...

In my response to Sen McGlinn's mistaken attempt to discredit Dr. C. Ainsworth Mitchell's Report, I point out briefly the key fact: What's purported to be Abdul-Baha's will and testament has never been probated or authenticated independently of those who were and are its beneficiaries. All...

Here's the key passage by Sohrab, "Abdul Baha had never in speech or writing given the slightest indication that there would be a successor to himself. On the contrary, a number of addresses delivered by him on various occasions had made the opposite impression." The Will and Testament of...

Wil, I'm afraid that's what may have happened. I apologize to people on the forum since I accidentally posted the same message a few times. On technical level, the message at the end of the posts then, just flashed by, so I wasn't sure what the message even said. Perhaps "I, Brian"...

"Doctrinal control" has been called "review" since after 1921. It's a very comprehensive, oppressive censorship that has regularly even changed the facts of history to suit its own version of events. For instance, Nabil's account of early Babi history was a mere 70 pages; Shoghi Effendi turned...

The British scholar Denis MacEoin's review of Schaeffer's Making the Crooked Straight discusses its many flaws and Baha'i fanaticism. Denis MacEoin Reviews Making the Crooked Straight H-Bahai, 2001 Denis MacEoin, Crisis in Babi and Baha'i Studies Bulletin, (British Society for Middle Eastern...

Like many subject areas, the Bahai pages on Wikipedia are completely corrupted and biased by the Haifan "editors" who long ago took control of every page they consider necessary "to protect the faith." Wikipedia is essentially a propaganda platform for the Wilmette-Haifan denomination. Use at...

To understand the real history of the Bahai Cause in the Western world, it is necessary to read the works of Ruth White and Ahmad Sohrab. They are available on the Reform Bahai Faith website, under Early Reform Bahais, Reform Bahai Faith Bibliography Ruth White, Appendix to Abdul-Baha and the...
