Re: True Authority in the Bahá'í Faith

Your arguments have all the validity of "it depends on what the
meaning of is, is." They do not address the issues, they only skirt
around them.

I have repeatedly pointed to the obvious: Shoghi did not fulfill his
clearly appointed responsibility. He could have at least done
something, but he did nothing. The guardianship was supposedly a
vital twin pillar of the AO, yet now the UHJ operates without a living
guardian. And authentication of the Last Will is not an unreasonable
hurdle for the UHJ to comply with, UNLESS it fears (or even knows)
that it might be revealed as a forgery.

To each of these, the only defenses are lame semantics, personal
allusions, and studied ingore-ance. And this stonewalling works well,
because for now, the UHJ holds all the cards, possesses all the
physical property, and controls all the documents.

But that will not necessarily always be the case. In the information
age, even the most sheltered of people tend eventually to encounter
those whom they were told not to encounter. They eventually ask what
they were told not to ask.

Even the smallest light has power over the darkest darkness. And
Jesus is the light of the world.

All this can easily be settled as soon as the UHJ decides to put its
credibility on the line.  But why should it?

Certainly not for your sake, Bob.

If there was really anything to settle, I'm sure they would.
