My mind instantly goes to human trafficking because somebody clearly wanted her

❤❤❤

Alright...so if in the Baha'i Faith, the Founder, Baha'u'llah stated that same sex intimate relationships is accepted in the eyes of God, would that please you? God doesn't care about pleasing your own personal ego and animalistic desires. No offense but this is small thinking and taking one teaching and isolating it and taking it out of context of all the teachings of the Faith. Unfortunately, these are only barriers you create from your own imagination because you don't want to live up to the high standards and high morals brought from God so you just oppose it.

@@habibm19 - I don't want a God to please me. Also, Homosexuality is not immoral. I am a former Baha'i, and I learned so many inconsistencies in the teachings that I left. God is a myth. Leaving a cult is liberating. Give it a try.

7 years Baha'i until I did some research. It's a scam.

I truly hope her murderer is at last found. With the exhumation I hope the new evidence brings her friends and family the awaited justice. Sorry for your loss.

I pray your wish comes true finally now that the authorities have exhumed her body. God bless

No matter how many years you study the religion of God, no matter how in depth you claim to understand religion, it is only God who instills the Spirit of Faith in a soul, through sincere & honest effort. It is only God who assists with understanding and attracts the heart. A heart blinded by hatred, prejudice, materialist attachments, attachment to self knowledge, will be only veiled and miss the opportunity to enter the Kingdom of God

@@habibm19 correct me if I'm wrong: the greatest prophecy of the Bahai faith was that at least the lesser peace would be established by the end of the last century (Fifth candle) because of the appearance of the Founder of that faith. Well he did appear and wars rage on. So that faith is false. Spare me the talk of heart being blind

Indeed!

I sure hope you told the law your suspicions

Why did you quit

@nm425 MANY reasond. There's the inability to accept questions about the pervasive attitude of the leadership's "good for me not for thee" approach to addressing community needs. No meaningful investment in women in leadership positions other than just serving men. I also was deeply disappointed in the leadership willingness to consider queer rights and inclusion which was the ultimate betrayal if we're allowed to marry why our marriages aren't welcomed if everyone is supposed to be equal. Power corrupts and to know l. Ron Hubbard's books are being utilized in teachings just as with nation of islam is doing was a curious development. It became very clear that I can practice my faith wo a building or additional worldly oppression that subjecting myself to the harm the faith was visiting upon my relationship with Allah. Hopefully the profiteering off marginalized among us will fall to the depths of history. Control is not love.

It’s ok that you left the Baha’i Faith. I wish you didn’t. However, your move only proves the freedom one individual has in the Baha’i Faith.

@baharakJohnson the point is that the deeds don't match the creeds. That's hypocritical and irrelevant at this juncture. Queer rights and women's rights are non negotiable if one values any human rights and dignity. I left because I wasn't allowed to have a voice and wasn't factored in other than my willingness to pay. What's super problematic is that the bahai faith and nation of islam are now instructing off scientology materials... cults are wild

@@difranophile sad response. But I wonder, why is it that your basing your Faith on the qualities of fellow humans? We are obviously imperfect and striving towards perfection, an impossible destination. Have you deepened enough yourself by reading the Writings and studying them? Letting the Writings influence your heart and soul? I wonder, why you let human imperfections effect you to the point you decided to leave the Faith? Does that mean you no longer believe in Baha'u'llah? Such an experience. Every soul has a journey and God will always test a soul in the sincerity of its claim towards its Faith of God

I am sure you know that Baha’is respect Gay rights and believe that their civil rights must be respected.

@NYWF1939 That's right. Find me a religion or any source that submits to a higher Being, that states having a man stick his banana inside another man's arse is morally accepted. This thought is morally corrupted and disgusting. Imagine in the next world, the spiritual reality of your soul is unfolded before your eyes, and you recognize the high value of your soul, but your degraded to such depths of misery because of your attachments to selfish and animalistic desires.

Baha'is (and members of almost any other religion) would wholeheartedly agree with your call to love God and love others. It's not exclusive to Christianity.

SMH

Ouch ! Not good at all !!

Alright. You have all the logic. Create us a religion and system for the entire planet and universe and reveal to us all the mysteries and secrets of life and how to live a spiritual and moral life that will instill such energies to encourage every human to contribute to the betterment of humanity and to sacrifice their wellbeing for the wellbeing of others, and reveal to us the spiritual reality of our soul and its conditions for growth in this world and the next and reveal to us how we can become closer to God...ok GO !
