Group proselytizing in Baha’ism
Bahaismiran:
Regarding Baha’ism cult’s effort for proselytizing and expanding its false thoughts in the world, this cult exploits various methods for the specially in Iran arranging regular establishments and educating proselytizers and providing facilities for them.
One of these methods used to expand the deviant cult of Baha’ism is group proselytizing. For achieving the aim a group consisted of Baha’i members even physicians using specially titles are being sent to poor areas to preach the false beliefs of Baha’ism indirectly. The Baha’ism heads have turned to group proselytizing because they believe the individual proselytizing isn’t effective. They pay attention to the following important issues in their plannings:
1) Training, educating and familiarizing the proselytizing with the quality of proselytizing: It is stated it He universal house of justice statement: “The experience showed that a majority of the Baha’i community learned that proselytizing will encompass various issues... If great efforts weren’t performed during the years of strengthening Baha’ism, the systematic means of group proselytizing wouldn’t progress today[1].â€
2) Selecting poor areas to implement this aim: the universal house of justice reports in this regard: “During Shoqi Effendi’s period of time the smart Baha’is had done some measures to attract the native people in several countries such as Uganda, Bolivia, Indonesia. Most of these proselytizers did their duties especially in India and some African countries and most rural areas in the south America[2].â€
3) Mission the proselytizers to the identified region in group: As the universal house of justice reports: “It became obvious that the personal measures wouldn’t merely be able to use the choices in the best manner in order for the Baha’I community to be guided by a series of proselytizing common plans.[3]â€
Because it is forbidden for the Baha’ism cult to proselytize in the country of Iran and Abbas Effendi, one of Baha’i leaders, necessitates obeying the countries laws and regulations [4], we can observe Baha’is proselytizing in our country. With regard to Baha’is commandments such as getting married with confidants [5] and perfidious teachings such as quitting national bigotry [6] and expanding the false beliefs and thoughts of Baha’ism in our country, they can afflict us by irrecoverable damages.
