Thank you for your response. I have noticed as I was reading the comments on this blog, most so called educated individuals still have not grasped that Baha’u'llah does not need us at all to advance his cause. When you sign your declaration card, you are accepting (no body forced you) that Baha’u'llah is the Manifestation of God for this age. That means you accept the covenant, the beloved Guardian Shoghi Effendi, the Universal House of Justice and any other institutions he has established. The Bahai Faith is not a Buffet that you can pick and choose whatever you like. If Ruhi Institute was not helping society–be it East or West, the House of Justice would have put a stop to it long ago. Be assured of that!
As for the complexity or simplicity of the material, what does that have anything to do with how it is going to change hearts. I am a Premed student and have been a martial artist for a while and it is a fact that most simple techniues are the ones that are going to be effective in real situations–not complex moves.
I have not finished all the Ruhi books yet, but I have been a first hand witness of its powerful effect. I have observed so many people who are attracted to it that even none Bahais like to join and have their children participate.
To anyone on this blog who likes to dwell on negative things and feels that the Faith owes them something; or might think a pill or a check may fix the problem I have the following writing from Baha’u'llah:
“How great the blessedness of him who hath attained unto the good-pleasure of God, and woe betide the heedless! Once the validity of a divinely appointed Prophet hath been established, to none is given the right to ask why or wherefore. Rather is it incumbent upon all to accept and obey whatsoever He saith. This is that which God hath decreed in all His Books, Scriptures and Tablets.” Tabernacle of Unity (page 46)
Please be part of the solution not the problem.

In response to a number of comments and the post itself. If you completed the series than you would no longer be confined to thinking is such simple terms, good and bad, right and wrong. A idea that hardly stifles free thinking. If you are educated and participate in the process for your own intellectual gain, or deepening purposes than your just stupid. Clearly you would gain more ground on any topic reading at home alone in a dimly lit room. The point is to get you out of your well-furnished home and say hi and show a little love to your neighbors. Its a humble attempt to develop capacity for the betterment of society. Make your own humble attempt to better society and let the world community know how its going. And PLEASE stop, it sounds so silly, there are no “powers that be” that care about your blog or posts, what you say in your private life, or why you are so bitter.

Nothing takes the place of quotein the writings. Problems occur when we misquote and the potency of the passage is corrupted. If I ask you a question and receive a direct quotation well and good but if you wing-it an age old custom to check knowledge is to ask you the same question at a later date. If the answers are not the same you are no longer a creditable person.

Gdday Folks.
I am surprised again that I am surprised….. seems to be aq constant state for…… just got emails to the LSA from the NSA ( Austrlalia), they contained emails from UHJ and a very quick read seems to suggest that approval has been given for door to door teaching ( aka door knocking)…. this comes after being assure by the ruhi -ites that it was merely invitations to "childrens classes" etc etc…….I guess its the chicken and egg …….get one and sooner or later you will get the other…..

Cheers

Greg, thanks for the news. Interesting what you say about the Russian Baha'is. Was this first hand news from someone who was Russian or had visited there? From what I've heard Baha'is don't usually openly "revolt" against Ruhi, they just don't participate.

Gdday All
Well yesterday ( Sydney time) was the first full day for the Conference aka Mid point of 5 yesar plan..) and as I forecasted it turn out to be a Ruhi fest and to be totally honest …. I dont know how I didnt hand in my Baha’i ID on the spot…I just about throw up at the clap trap so many times …. I hand tp go buy a clean shirt….. however there was one high light… I found out that the Rsuuian Baha’i Community had just about gone into open revolt over Ruhi…… the comment I heard went to the effect that the Russian Community said ” We are an educated people”
I do need to make one point very clear about now… I dont clain any great education ,,,,,,, but likiewise I will not accept being treated like a prized idiot
The other thing I got from yesterday was….. the sense that the World Wide Bahai community seemed to be fashioned into a subservent herd…..and thats one place I cant see my self going at least not to that scale… I may yet have many flaws … however I still retain my backbone and not yet become a jellyfish…..and I think I still have a few brain cells left as well….
However on a positive note … I did catch up with old friends some of who I havent seen for many many long long years …. and that was a good thing.
Futher reports on todays events will follow as required.
Cheers
Greg
