However, the Baha'i Faith, as clearly stated by the Universal House of Justice, (notes on Homosexuality 1993 and 1995) does not recognize same-sex marriage. Therefore, the Faith does not acknowledge your present state. How can they then act upon what does not exist in the sight of God? This is similar to a person saying that matter doesn't exist and then asking for a hot dog.<br /><br />Your marriage vows may have been "open and notorious" (a legal term) but unless you included in the ceremony the expressed intent to commit sodomy, the LSA and NSA should have, according to what I have read of the Writings, no cause for complaint. The only assumption that the LSA could make, with a sin-covering eye, would be that you love - have affection for and a commitment to - your partner; assuming eros as well is not their responsibility. I understand the "appearance of propriety" is necessary, but unless the LSA is going to investigate the living arrangements of every Baha'i in the community, they have no need to focus on yours. OTOH, if you flaunted an active sexual life before others, then clearly the LSA had cause for concern. <br /><br />Unless you were openly performing or discussing your sexual activities (and I am not making any suppositions regarding unchaste behavior on your part), IMO you should take this matter to the Universal House of Justice.<br /><br />ReedReed F.

If either a homosexual couple or a heterosexual couple were to flagrantly declare on the Internet and to the community, that they are enjoying sexual congress outside of marriage the LSA must take action. <br /><br />As to the point of this blog, the letter from the NSA specifically states "As you are fully aware, homosexual relationships are not permissible within the Baha'i Faith, no matter how devoted and fine the love may be between the parties." That is false, as I tried to state. Hopefully, a homosexual relationship is more than a matter of sodomy; in fact, sodomy is not required for a homosexual relationship - if the gay community has been honest in its depiction these past few decades - only love, caring, trust, etc. None of these fine attributes are forbidden in the Writings; therefore neither is a chaste homosexual relationship.

True, certain sexual acts are not permitted, but the matter of loving in a non-physical (or at least non-sexual) manner a member of the same sex is never forbidden. Two men can live in a chaste but loving relationship in the same manner as a man and a woman might outside of marriage. It is no-one's business what occurs within the sanctuary of the home unless untoward (according to the Writings) behaviour is notorious and/or openly professed or flaunted. A chaste "homosexual lifestyle" - whatever that means - should not, in itself, be of interest to the LSA, NSA, or the Universal House of Justice. <br /><br />In other words, according to the Writings, and please correct me if I am in error, the Baha'i Faith is open to all individuals who are gay and chaste (or chased).Reed F.

I'd think that the Universal of House would not be happy if Baha'is went around implying that "It" should treated like God.<br /><br />Here is the quotation which everyone can see for themselves that Baha'u'llah is referring to God and it is originally a reference to the Koran.<br /><br />"The spirit that animateth the human heart is the knowledge of God, and its truest adorning is the recognition of the truth that "He doeth whatsoever He willeth, and ordaineth that which He pleaseth.""<br />http://www.bahaullah.com/bahaullah-writings-human-character-part2.html<br /><br />Finally: you have changed a quotation about faith and trust and knowledge of God into an autocratic statement you associate with the Universtal House of Justice.

It does not mean that they are 9 men who when they sit together they have a direct seance with Almighty God and poof they have the perfect answer. If so, why don't they just at least once pick the Lotto numbers and help the Fund out, instead of having NSA's beg poor Bahais to give, give, GIVE?!

I...Bill, yes, you've hit the nail on the head!<br /><br />I wrote a blog last August called "Change is a Law of Nature" (incidently the same name for a performance piece of mine from 1996, which dealt with change and value (meaning) > <br />http://www.sonjavank.com/change.htm)<br /><br />Anyway the blog <br /><br />(http://bahairants.com/change-is-a-law-of-nature-666.html)<br /><br />mentions some changes going on in the U.K. in connection with gay rights and I relate this to the ability of the UHJ to legistrate (make changes) on anything not covered in the Bahai Scriptures and there is nothing in Bahai Scripture that discusses homosexuality so they can. And further in this blog I discuss how they seem to have already by the way the Notes section of the Aqdas has been written by them which is also here:<br />http://justabahai.wordpress.com/2010/04/12/mainly-about-homosexuality/#paederasty<br /><br />There is also blog which discusses flexibility in Bahai law:<br />http://justabahai.wordpress.com/2010/05/19/flexibility/<br /><br />So Bill, I agree that same-sex marriage needs to be treated with more tolerance by Bahai's but I'd also argue that Abdu'l-Baha's Will and Testament states that areas, such as marriage will be up to secondary Houses of Justice (NSAs) to rule on, taking cultural norms into consideration.

I found this on page 31 from Peter Khan which I find very interesting in light of what we are discussing here: <br /> <br />"What is constant in our Faith and what is subject to change? This question is crucial for the Baha'i community now, said Peter Khan, former member of the Universal House of Justice, at the 102nd Baha'i National Convention."..."our institutions have a vast task that will require centuries: laying the foundation for a new culture and ultimately a new civilization." "Our strategies to advance this work, he said, must be appropriate to circumstance." "That may mean long-cherished practices are sometimes discarded. So it's essential for our community to balance constancy with change." "...The House of Justice, Khan said, is an institution "unique in history" for many reasons, ranging from its freedom from error to "its endowment with the commitment to make change" and the"magnitude of its authority and function."<br /> <br />As I said earlier, the above from Peter Khan seems to be saying that the House has the God given responsibility to bring about change. At this point in its history I don't think Mr. Khan or the House feel that that "change" has anything to do with the present day "official" stand the Faith takes regarding homosexuality. It does give me a glimmer of hope though. As this discussion continues and intensifies the subject of same-sex marriage will have to be dealt with on a much more humane and spiritual level.<br /> <br />In Peace,<br />Bill Garbettoreydchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02414842298730341717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195448042369453619.post-58311328594302244422010-07-09T21:20:29.929-03:002010-07-09T21:20:29.929-03:00Too bad the Baha'i Authoritative Odor feels it...Too bad the Baha'i Authoritative Odor feels it must emphasize such petty distinctions between Baha'i brothers and sisters, making some perfectly nice folks look like bigots in the process.<br /><br />Putting the Holy Word of the Secretary aside, this issue underscores the legalistic nature of the present Baha'i Authoritative Odor.

Since they were however, identities should have first been stripped out, writing styles scrambled, etc.<br /><br />I'm no big fan of Cole, but he has made some major contributions to bahai scholarship. Do you actually support the NSA's boycott of Kalimat Press? <br /><br />As a libertarian, I was a frequent critic of the pc-left radical excesses on talisman. I saw them as self-indulgent "boomer" narcissists, and thus counterproductive of reform. It turns out that no reform was possible anyway because bahai administration was already corrupt beyond fixing.<br /><br />You make a big mistake by smearing all ex-bahais. The NSA groveled trying to keep Dann May and his wife in the haifan bahai community, to no avail. Sen McGlinn was kicked out for little more than writing theology! The former president of the US Chamber of Commerce in China left because of legitimate objections to the NSA meddling in chinese politics to the detriment of reform. haifan bahai administration has demanded cult worship, and that is the sure sign of corruption, dehumanization and exploitation.<br /><br />The atmosphere in the community became horribly toxic. Ineptitude was rampant. Constant failure led to pointless attempts at bureaucratic reinvention.<br /><br />Memon's article on bahai apostates is mostly polemic garbage, illogical assumptions and inaccuracies. The haifan bahai system produces such intellectual corruption.<br /><br />What is now evident is that haifan bahaism has become rigidly orthodox and reactionary, and there is intense loathing of nonconformism, criticism and dissident. <br /><br />In other words, a backward, medieval social structure based on mythic belief and conformism has overtaken haifan bahaism.<br /><br />The world does not need another imperialitic, backward religion that puts on a fake "spiritual" mask of social progress.<br /><br />You did not address my main point: haifan bahaism is as much a mix-n-match affair as is unitarianism. bahais systematically ignore large areas of their own scripture when it does not reflect the prevailing paradigm.<br /><br />What haifan bahais do not ignore is the parts of their scripture that supports cult worship of administration and conformance to fundamentalism, literalism, and authoritarianism.<br /><br />Any legitimate sociologist could easily identify the standard "textbook" characteristics of dysfunctional organizational culture in typical haifan bahai communities in a short period of time.<br /><br />I've seen at least 10 people of "high capacity" leave in disgust, and about that many people get kicked out.<br /><br />No meaningful "internal" reforms have happened in 20+ years, on the contrary, all attempts at reform have been viciously attacked, or falsly appropriated and used to exploit people.<br /><br />The sad reality is that gays are scapegoats in the bahai community. The unrecognised "shadow" (collective sin) of the bahai community is "projected" onto nonconformists.<br /><br />This is not a religion that models healthy culture.<br /><br />http://www.panarchy.org/koestler/holon.1969.html<br /><br />"9.4 If the challenge to the organism exceeds a critical limit, the balance may be upset, the over-excited holon may tend to get out of control, and to assert itself to the detriment of the whole, or monopolize its functions - whether the holon be an organ, a cognitive structure (idée fixe), an individual, or a social group. The same may happen if the coordinate powers of the whole are so weakened that it is no longer able to control its parts (C. M. Child).<br /><br />9.5 The opposite type of disorder occurs when the power of the whole over its parts erodes their autonomy and individuality. This may lead to a regression of the INT tendencies from mature forms of social integration to primitive forms of identification and to the quasi-hypnotic phenomena of group psychology."<br />(Arthur Koestler)<br /><br />Regards.<br />Eric P.<br />SacramentoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195448042369453619.post-81796235089388968922010-07-07T17:32:02.504-03:002010-07-07T17:32:02.504-03:00"If you cared at all, if you were a caring hu..."If you cared at all, if you were a caring human being..."<br /><br />Who is showing their true colors now?

My belief is that it was a hotbed of untruths, accusations, and small-minded criticsms of Baha'i administration including but not limited to the US-NSA. I subscribed to it during a brief period when I was completely in a Schizoaffective psychotic state yet no matter how wild I was, I never turned on the faith or its institutions. Even today more than a decade later, it still haunts me because all of its messages are online and easily accessible via Google. It is profoundly embarrassing and distressing. That list should have remained private but taking it public fit its ultimate thinly disguised purpose which was to attack the Baha'i faith on many levels.<br /><br />What else did it represent to me? A forum for political progressives whose radical leanings took precedence over their religious views. I was and still am probably to the left of all of them so I suppose that was its temporary appeal to me at the time. But as I mentioned, I was quite "crazy."<br /><br />And whither have many of its main particpants gone? A lot of them have either left Baha'i or turned viciously against it. Need I mention the controversial--but accurate--essay by M. Momen that analyzes some of them? Let's take its founder for a moment. Where is he now? Back then he was criticizing the Guardian for making deliberate errors in translation. That was very germane to this very discussion of you recall it. Now you see him from time to time mentioned in the Israeli press as an ardent spokesperson for Hamas.<br /><br />I also remember Dan Orey who I remember fondly and consider a good person. I met him in person at Bosch. I wish him only the best. As for most of the others on Talisman, I want to be lightyears apart form any possible association with their propaganda.Cary Enoch Reinsteinhttp://www.enochsvision.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195448042369453619.post-36825494879701267892010-07-06T23:39:57.578-03:002010-07-06T23:39:57.578-03:00Hey Daniel,\

Unfortunately, you and so many other wonderful, dedicated, knowledgeable Baha'is seem to fall apart and become almost "Islamic" when it comes to the subject of homosexuality! What's the big deal? The world is moving on toward it's destiny and guess what? Part of that destiny is the acceptance of gay and lesbian people as equals in society and in spirituality and yes, within the Baha'i Faith. Unless and until the Faith moves on from a "Guardian from the grave" mentality it will long continue to struggle to attract any appreciable numbers of people no matter how many well organized global plans of Ruhi courses take place.<br /> <br />So what if the Guardian said certain things regarding homosexuality. That was in the forties and fifties. We've come a long way baby. My belief is that the House of Justice will one day reach it's full potential by doing what so ever it willest! The one and only Guardian we've ever had and ever will have was an amazing, thoughtful, compassionate man. He functioned beautifully without the House of Justice. The House of Justice has worked and progressed wonderfully without a living Guardian. So there you have it! What ever was projected in the Will and Testament obviously was altered by the changes and chances of this world. OK, so let's move ahead, and let the House decide on something that was never mentioned by Baha'u'llah, Abdu'l-Baha, and Shoghi Effendi, namely, same-sex marriage and long term gay and lesbian monogamous relationships!<br /> <br />Bravo, Daniel for your bravery, love, commitment, and dedication to keeping a light on this subject. A subject that many Baha'is wish would simply go away!<br /> <br />One final thing: For all you straight Baha'is out there that keep equating homosexuality with Sodomy, it's time to STOP! Are all the heterosexual relationships out there defined solely by vaginal/penile intercourse? Of course not, so stop referring to our relationships as just based on some sexual act!<br /> <br />In Peace,<br />Bill Garbettoreydchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02414842298730341717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195448042369453619.post-48872512310009354722010-07-06T19:55:07.339-03:002010-07-06T19:55:07.339-03:00I have had many friends leave the Faith, in the ad...I have had many friends leave the Faith, in the administrative way, due to this issue. Love of Baha'U'llah remains in their heart. <br />Baha'U'llah's pen is silent in this matter. Science and religion will agree. <br />Generations may pass and hearts will be broken, until, justice and understanding will be manifest.<br />Until then...<br />Bless you Daniel for you public outcry and service of your web sites. As long as discussion is alive the issue will be addressed.SueB9https://www.blogger.com/profile/03522022071802390301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195448042369453619.post-41708627841919599962010-07-06T15:51:19.421-03:002010-07-06T15:51:19.421-03:00Daniel,

Dude! You are such an exemplary Baha'i!<br /><br />-Dankaweahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13110699161070618600noreply@blogger.com
