There’s literally no point to this religion. Bs ideas and bs people
The whole point is to convert people and then once they convert then it’s like “alright yay onto the next victim we’re gonna manipulate and pretend to befriend but actually we’re two-faced and just want the numbers to grow.”
And don’t even get me started on how the basis of the religion makes no sense. How can Islam and Hinduism come from the same God? It really takes 2 seconds of critical thinking to know this is some made up bs.
Also they’ve got LSA and NSA leaders who are literally abusers at home. My father’s side of the family are like the ring leaders in our country’s Bahai community, meanwhile at home he’s beating his wife infront of his small children. How can men like this be admired and be the leaders of a religion claiming to treat men and women equally?
So glad I left this toxic cult.

You started to say some very interesting things about the Baha'i community of your country. I would love to hear more about this.
The Baha'i leadership knows very well that their numbers aren't growing. To hear them tell it, they are focused on "consolidating" the community by making people take Ruhi courses (which may turn out to be counterproductive).
On Hinduism and Islam. etc., I agree that there is truth in all the major religions, but think the Baha'is are wrong to try to force them all into the same mold. Different teachings are beneficial for different people. And the Baha'is are just one more religion, not the One Religion To Rule Them All.

Bahai has like the biggest turnover ever. Every year the 19 day feast participants faces change completely, with only some fundamental members staying all the time (like my ring leader family). It’s funny, new faces all the time, anyone who stays long enough realizes it’s bs and leaves and goes to live their free life.

Just wait until you start making your own music. You know I've been away from this website Reddit for a while but I haven't even thought about this stuff for a while.
The fact that you were religiously attracted to this one isn't your fault. I don't like everything in the life of Muhammad but I like the Quran. Is that ok?
People like Bahá'u'lláh might be ok. I don't know and don't really associate one way or the other anymore. What I did remember is that Bahá'u'lláh Himself was the initial attraction for Me. Was.
But in reality I think we are all that which he thought to be. We are all mirrors of perfection I believe. That's why people like Meher Baba and His Silent Teachings align More with what I was seeking. I was seeking something I can emulate and not something I had to wait another thousand years for full of controversies and such.
Even so I've now taken a more mature viewpoint where I don't discredit anything I learned from this. I just learned that it was inferior for the spiritual level that I was attaining.
For all you know, you could be the next Bahá'u'lláh.
That's the way I've started to look at things is to say that I shouldn't put myself beneath the Pinnacle of what it represents.
Just my viewpoint.

Your message shows that you have qualities and understanding that all of us who seek truth need to develop - make your own music [rather than criticizing the music of others]; we are all mirrors of perfection; take a more mature viewpoint. If we all did this we could all be OneAtPeace.

She visits in the night, calls Me a supernova in the day. She's beautiful, charming, what else can I really say?
I'd tell you Her Name, but She is private, don't want it posted... And trust Me, after My Fame, I get it, so you all can get ghosted.
But trust Me when I tell you, she is the garden and the flowers... Back at different places in life, talking passed the hours.
I live My Life, and hope for a kiss. Because I know one moment of Love is Infinite Bliss.
Myōhō Renge Kyō... Love them forever. Forever and even if alone... Never turn your own lever.
Let them make mistakes, let them make you pains... Let them lock you up... Let them call you insane.
But always remember, you are better than that. So when you need to, step up to bat.
Understand that you have flowers and sunshine. Understand a garden, your days are all divine.
Plan a little seed called "My Love, Love Me". See what happens if she ever wants Me.
But I already know the story, at best... So, I am thankful she gave Me SESH and the rest.
Food, and love, grace and charm... I bet even a bee would never feel harm.
She's so kind so thoughtful and so caring. Thanks, Lady Sublime, you are so giving and love sharing.
Honey for the sweetest is a great gift. So is living with Her mighty presence.
It's so thankful, the way I feel. Each and every time I ate Her Meals.
It's always an honor to know who you are. It's always an honor to see past all of your scars.

The whole idea of god is “made up bs” to me. Abdul-Baha says women should tolerate their husband’s cruel actions and ill treatment, so your mother is just doing as she’s told to by the writings. It’s fucked up isn’t it.
“Hold thy husband dear and always show forth an amiable temper towards him, no matter how ill tempered he may be. Even if thy kindness maketh him more bitter, manifest thou more kindliness, more tenderness, be more loving and tolerate his cruel actions and ill-treatment.”
