Here's an interesting discussion which took place a couple of months ago on LJ's Baha'i forum. Keep in mind that the moderators over there are extremely strict so people write as if they are walking on egg shells - even so, you can't stifle the truth which is that Ruhi leaves much to be desired. It is always interesting to read the "yes, but..." justifications.

Grover, Baha'is are far from perfect, but I believe that a person who has been in contact with Baha'i teachings is liable to a better understanding of our world. In any case, I am convinced that had I not been in contact with the Baha'i teachings, I would be a far worse person than I am now.

Greg, door knocking, bell ringing, E Mailing, poster painting, singing in the subway or on the radio, letter writing... are mere means of inviting people of our neighbourhoods into existing community activities. To invite people we first have to have activities to invite them to. The LSA can decide where at what time the community can gain or loose from such a procedure.

Once enough tutors, regular children's classes, junior youth activities, devotionals, fire sides, etc have been established, the community can open up from individual teaching to mass teaching, i.e. to larger numbers or “troops” of new people instead of sitting around in a closed community and finding an occasional hearing ear.

Door knocking is one way that has produced results, including in France where traditionally, peoples homes are considered as a sacred sanctuary, but where in fact every one hopes to find a way out of solitude. People can avoid it or try it, before adopting or abandoning it.
