Response to the letters of UHJ – Guest Article

We have reviewed the letters of UHJ sent during 2022 and would like to point out their clear lies and how they are playing around with the emotions of the sincere followers.

Below are some of the points:

  • The UHJ in their letters hype about the Ruhi institute and their teachings. Can UHJ give an exact number as to how many converts they have found in this process?
  • Who has approved this institute and the study materials being thought to the children or youngsters. Are they the teachings of Baha’u’llah and Abdu’l Baha or are they the forged and misinterpreted teachings?
  • UHJ claims to have made a global plan to attract more seekers (basically found new converts), is this a plan only on paper or will actually be implemented. Because there is no significant increase in the number of Baha’is globally.
  • I won’t shy away from saying that the Ruhi institute is just another flop show by the administration.
  • When UHJ writes a letter to the ‘Continental Board of Counsellors’ (3rd Jan 22), they show regret for cancelling the meeting that was supposed to happen in Haifa due to geopolitical reasons. However, when they write letter to the Baha’is very next day (4th Jan 22) they mention that ‘the continental counsellors are present in Holy Land for the meeting and it is the 6th and final day of the conference.’
  • The UHJ has a track record of not responding to queries raised by us (Free Baha’is) on the illegitimacy of the Will and Testament of Abdu’l Baha, the atrocities of Shoghi Effendi and the basis of their suffocating administrative control.
  • The UHJ in reality is only enjoying on the funds, especially Huququllah that they get which is not even their legitimate right. Similar to Shoghi, they are stealing from the innocent Baha’is.
  • The UHJ boasts about the fact that they have erected the last of the Continent House of Worship i.e. the House of Worship in Chile. Can they say what they have done for the poor Baha’is living in Chile?
  • UHJ states that further plans are being made to establish the house of worship at national and local levels. Are they really planning to do so or it is just another attempt to collect the money from Baha’is for their personal enjoyment in Haifa?
  • The UHJ should give an account of the amount they have collected from the Baha’is and the amount actually spent towards the Cause. The UHJ is accountable for it and should definitely give an account for the same.
  • In the Ridwan 2022 letter to the Baha’i world, the UHJ very clearly lied by saying ‘As we know well and are reassured that… the followers of Baha’u’llah are committed to offering relief and support to those around them, no matter how straitened their own circumstances.’ What relief has the administration offered to others and what support has been provided? Leave alone the general people, the Baha’is themselves have not been provided any relief or support by the UHJ.
  • In the letter to the Baha’i world dt. 24th May 2022, the UHJ very proudly mentioned that 700 Baha’is from 169 countries have come forward to pioneer. Who has this list of 700 pioneers? They are from which location? Who is funding them? As usual, these are just mere numbers, in reality the Baha’is are pissed off with the way they are being treated and pressurised by the administration.
  • There are many Baha’is who are even scared today to speak out as they are scared that they will be removed from the faith by being pronounced as covenant breakers.

The Baha’i administration is very cleverly playing with the emotions of the innocent Baha’is by showing them a very colourful portrait which has no reality. When time comes there is no one to stand beside the Baha’is who are persecuted or mistreated.

The UHJ is just using persecution as a tool to raise hue and cry in the United Nations but is not doing anything to actually save the Baha’is, or give them refuge.

A reality check needs to be done by each and every Baha’i and they should do a thorough research of history and faith in order to understand the plotting that has happened after the death of the Master.

The (Lip) Service of the Baha’i Administration at the time of the Covid-19 crises

  Today, Humanity is at a critical juncture faced with the unprecedented and unexpected calamity in the form of the Covid-19 Pandemic. In the face of this crisis, Nations, Organisations, communities and even individuals are engaged in selfless service trying to help their fellow human beings’ tide over the devastating effects of this pandemic. Nations are rising over past rivalries and animosities, and people are rising over racism and xenophobia to help each other. However, in the face of all of this, the “Baha’i Administration” is doing, as usual, NOTHING MEANINGFUL. The “Administration”, as always, in this time of crisis is bent on paying lip service and nothing more. This way of dumb and mute service is the innate nature of the “Baha’i Administration” and is in perfect alignment with the past set precedents of service of the “Administration”. Allow me to enumerate the various “Powerful” (read: self-serving and futile; Lip Service) steps which the “Administration” will take at t...

Breaking Away: My Journey from Mainstream to Free Baha'i Faith

My name is John and I am currently 47 years old. I was raised in the United States as a Baha'i and accepted the Baha'i faith when I was only 23, through a close friend of mine whose entire family was actively involved in the community. My friend and her family taught me the importance of Baha'i teachings while I was young, and I grew up with a strong connection to my faith. However, as I got older, I became more curious about the different sects within the Baha'i faith and started to do my own research. At first, I was drawn to the Free Baha'i sect. I found their beliefs and practices to be more in line with my own personal values, and I appreciated the emphasis they placed on social justice and community involvement. However, I was hesitant to fully embrace the Free Baha'i faith, as I knew it would be a major departure from the mainstream institution in which I was raised. Despite my reservations, I continued to learn more about the Free Baha'i teaching...
