Misc

Please, let me decide for myself!

Folks, I am really sick of people making ignorant comments, if you accept, believe, reject and whatever in between about the Baha'i Faith, great, fantastic and what would be even more outrageously amazing if you have made that decision yourself and have come to that conclusion through your own intelligence, that makes one in a 10,000 in Iran where we know what goes on, unless you have just returned from Mars and by some of the comments here, I think some have by all accounts and I would not refute them if they claim as such. 

A video clip from someone sharing their feelings or their father's feeling makes people comment on things which they have no clue, stop being judgmental. If you don't have much to do, watch more you tube or browse through some other social networking site.  Enjoy life and don't expose your misery by accidentally making someone else miserable.

Come on people, all we can do is to brag about what some body did some 2500 years ago, like we were there, want a fix something start with yourselves. 

With the Illegal 'Administrative Order' this is bound to happen.

Many people are leaving the baha'i faith. Not because of its teachings but because of its totalitarian Administrative system. Many who love Baha'u'llah but they did not like the 'Administrative System' are becoming the members of different sects of Baha'is. This is the 'infallible'  'UHJ' that is going to bring doom to the Baha'i faith.

Even this guy speaks good

When Islam dies so will Bahaism

As Islam and its arab child rapit prophet becomes iirelevent in the future Iran so will Bahaism face the same fate. To become a bahai a Christian, Atheist, Agnostic or Zarthusti has to first convert to Islam, that is they have to accept that Mohammad is a messanger of Allah.

Bahai renounce nationalism and greet each other they use arabic words like Allah  o abba or Jamal e that and this.

Hypothesis!

What would happen if through magic the Baha'is in Iran overnight became the majority? I mean if all the Shi'ite Persians and Baha'i Persians overnight swapped places!

Dear Demo

Dear Demo,

I am sorry if my words seem in any way to "push anything. 

Clarification and providing information is not "pushing". No one can make you believe anything, as any belief is ultimately very personal and your deep, heartily acceptance and love. Without it NO one can "push anything"..

In Our Iranian Sphere, 150 years of barriers to knowledge has created the kind of ignorance and prejudice  that has led to the apathy that has allowed the, persecution. the violence, the intolerance and the closed minds that fear new ideas.

Good speaker!

She is a good speaker, and expresses her thoughts very well. Many people after years of toastmaster sessions can't speak this well.

Dear Faryam...

Are you trying to push Bahai's faith here?? What is the relation between your preaching & the posted crazy vidoe??

Dear Mr Farahmand...

 I would hate to change the warm humorous tone of Amy's video...

But i would like to respectfully address  your comment "I found her to be smart and pleasant to listen. Not like some of those extreme Bahais that constantly talk about how superior their religion is over others - A down to earth Bahai"

that seems to indicate more of a perception problem rather than the reality.

Respectfully, It is simply wrong to presume that any Bahai can feel, that his/her belief is any "superior" over others. It would be against the very principle of progressive Revelation and the belief in the common foundation and The Oneness of Religion1

Some Bahais out of sheer enthusiasm to convey their feelings  may well give that impression; it would be a mistake to assume that, The Bahai Faith holds itself as anything but a renewal of God's unending guidance for today; and in that, to say that any Bahai can feel superior, would be like thinking what we learnt in the sixth grade is superior to the subjects in the fifth, and that our sixth grade teacher was any better than our teacher in the fifth grade. 

I do however agree with you that humility is a virtue and noble spiritual quality.

"A Mental Case????"

What in the world being a "Bahai" got to do with her miserable talk???? Does the mentioning of "Baha-oolla" name only once & the insulting of Jesus Christ as a "Burden" make a person a "Down to Earth" Bahai????

To Clarify:There is Noruz as well as NawRuz :}

Naw-Rúz in the Bahá'í Faith is one of nine holy days for adherents of the Bahá'í Faith worldwide and the first day of the Bahá'í calendar occurring on the vernal equinox, around March 21.[1]Norouz, historically and in contemporary times, is the celebration of the traditional Iranian new year holiday and is celebrated throughout the countries of the Middle East and Central Asia such as inIran, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Since ancient times it has been a national holiday in Iran and was celebrated by more than one religious group.[1] The Báb, the founder of Bábism, and then Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, adopted the day as a holy day and associated it with the Most Great Name of God.[1][2]

The Significance of Naw Ruz and the new Calendar

The Báb, the founder of Bábism, instituted a new calendar that was composed of 19 months, each of 19 days.[3] Each of the months is named after an attribute of God; similarly each of the nineteen days in the month also are named after an attribute of God.[3] The first day and the first month were given the attribute of Bahá, an Arabic word meaning splendour or glory, and thus the first day of the year is the day of Bahá in the month of Bahá.[1][4] The day was called the Day of God by the Báb, and was associated with He whom God shall make manifest, a messianic figure in the Báb's writings.[2] The remaining eighteen days of the first month were then associated with the eighteenLetters of the Living, the Báb's apostles envisioning a celebration that would last nineteen days.[1]

Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith who claimed to be the messianic figure expected by the Báb, adopted the new calendar and the use of Naw-Rúz as a holy day.[1] The day follows theBahá'í month of fasting, and he explained that Naw-Rúz was associated with the Most Great Nameof God,[1][4] and was instituted as a festival for those who observed the fast.[5][6] 

She is a smart Bahai

I found her to be smart and pleasant to listen. Not like some of those extreme Bahais that constantly talk about how superior their religion is over others - A down to earth Bahai
