Ideological turmoil

Ali Nakhjavani (Former UHJ Member and Staunch opponent of Ruhi Curriculum)

While the matter of Guardianship sprang-up many other issues surfaced like:

a.   authenticity of Will and Testament of Abdul Baha,

b.   who was the real successor of Bab - Subh-e Azal or Baha\'u\'llah?

c.   Baha\'u\'llah\'s sister Aziziya (or Izziyih) Khanum disclosing viceful personal life of Baha\'u\'llah.

d.   The Unitarian Bahá\'ís bringing all sorts of Holy writings against Abdul Baha.

e.   number of ideological questions were raised by the Knowledgeable Ex Bahá\'ís, who were shown the gate, over the internet. They launched a full attack on the History of Bahá\'í Faith. The Ex Bahá\'ís proved that the Pen is mightier than sword (Excommunication).

The UHJ found itself incapable to give any logical answer to these questions and went on damage control mode asking NSA to take back all the Bahá\'ís whose voting rights were taken. They absolutely erased the concept of Sanctions of Administrative Rights. And now, finally, 95 conferences are being arranged as a part of damage control strategy.

On the other hand there were many Administrative questions surrounding UHJ regarding its legality, its infallibility and the extra ordinary higher percentage of Iranian Bahá\'ís on it. The Bahá\'í scholars have been openly objecting to the high level of intolerance shown by UHJ, use of derogatory languages for respected Bahá\'ís, threat of excommunication, election process of UHJ and its interference in election of the other countries.

Even the various methods of propagation are so frequently being changed that it gives a sign of uncertainty. Earlier it was fireside and then Mass teaching. The Social Economic Development has failed to give any serious acceptability to the Bahá\'í Faith.

The worst failure was Ruhi curriculum which divided the Bahá\'í Faith diagonally into the Persian and Non Persian Bahá\'ís - finally resulting in outburst of a former UHJ Member against not just the Ruhi curriculum but the UHJ itself. Certain reactions are indeed eye openers, e.g. after a deepening session by a so called Bahá\'í scholar, a Persian Bahá\'í remarked that let us congratulate UHJ for successfully confusing the Bahá\'ís.

The Volunteers who served on the world centers in the prime of the youth age, when asked to return as they had lost their youth, started openly criticizing the UHJ members

The attack of former UHJ member on Ruhi curriculum and a humiliating court case defeat has instilled shame in every Bahá\'í. Bahá\'í now care a damn about the claims of UHJ asking Bahá\'ís to be patient that it is doing everything to reverse the case.

.

Since the advent of Ruhi system, the deepened Bahá\'ís who were always ahead in activities felt betrayed by the UHJ for side tracking them in every field. Capable Bahá\'ís having knowledge of Bahá\'í Faith and Holy writings were left for job of travel teachers and useless and incompetent Bahá\'í who did not know the difference between Baha\'u\'llah and Allah\'u\'Abha were made counselors.

Bahá\'í culture can hardly be called as a Religious culture. The ultra modern culture resembles MTV pop culture and not at all a sober religion.

The rate of divorce, rate of elopement, infighting amongst the Bahá\'í officials and an emerging trend of resignation of Bahá\'í officials from Administration and their refusal to take up any responsibility whether it is paid or voluntary, are all signs of steep downfall.
