Probably not in their public lives either. Besides , you have surely taken the wrong label for what you mean if a cult is defined as " a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object " , that is , there is no longer living personal leadership in the Baha'i Faith .

(Letter dated 15 August 1957 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual)<br /><br />Does this mean that in the future there will a law formulated by the UHJ? And those Baha'is celebrating Christmas will have to face sanctions!?<br />There is too much control in Bahaism and this makes it a cult.

Bahais preferably do not celebrate Christmas IN RELATION WITH EACH OTHER. This was a city-wide festival celebrating the religious diversity, not a specific Christmas event. Such selective quoting is a common technique used by those who only want to prove their preconceived ideas, not by those seeking out the full truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510761613406111002.post-24237317158968768752014-12-24T23:40:47.438-08:002014-12-24T23:40:47.438-08:00Well said Jimmy,

As I see it, one problem with Baha'i is that there are too many instructions. <br /><br />The huge collection of Baha'i literature reminds me of our USA law books... that are so complex and numerous that one needs an attorney to help with a court case... and really, most attorneys don't know most of the laws - they just know how to do legal research. <br /><br />Baha'i books have proliferated, and we in the USA still don't have but a few of the 20,000+ counted writings of Baha'u'llah... most are still hidden from those of us who don't read Farsi or Arabic.<br /><br />The UHJ adds to this over-sized stockpile 'infallible' Baha'i literature year after year.<br /><br />With all the numerous instructions left by the central figures of Baha'i, it is not surprising that the world center forgot about this one. <br /><br />Good catch...Kristinehttp://exbahai.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510761613406111002.post-776912345015489072014-12-23T05:47:48.557-08:002014-12-23T05:47:48.557-08:00So if your neighbor has a christmas tree, that you...So if your neighbor has a christmas tree, that you are celebrating christmas too?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
