Hi, I'm new to this but I wanted to speak about my recent experiences with the local Baha'i cluster, their activities and how I lost most of my friends after I decided to stop participating in their events.
Firstly, I wanted to mention that I'm an atheist, I always have been and I imagine I always will be. I'm not sure if any of them knew that then, and I wonder if that played a role in how they treat me now. Although I dislike religion and what my friends did over the past year, I was never traumatized or severely upset by anything that happened and I can't say I dislike any of these friends even if I disagree with them now.
On February 26th the Baha’i calendar marks the start of the intercalary days known as Ayyám-i-Há.

From 1995 to 2004, I was a member of a religion known as the Baha’i Faith. This religion teaches that God is called by various names but is still the same all over the world, that all religions teach the same basic message, and that humanity is actually one race and is destined to unite under the banner of the Baha’i Faith in a new age of peace and unity.
Four Australian thinkers come together to ask and answer the big questions, such as: What is the nature of the universe? Doesn't religion cause
The National Baha'i Center in Wilmette, IL claims that there are 140,000 Baha'is in the United States. However, it is almost axiomatic among Baha'is that half of the Faith's enrolled members are inactive. In fact, the reality may be even worse than that. One independent poll on American religions estimated that there are only 28,000 people in this country who consider themselves Baha'is.
Amongst the fourteen infallibles, it was necessary for one of them to be a woman as if all of them were men, then all of the advice, recommendations and teachings which we see directed towards the women of the community – things such as how to take care of ones’ spouse, how to maintain the home, how to take care of the children, the style and function of the hijab, how to modestly maneuver within society, patience and submission to God in the face of challenges and the hundreds of other teachings would have been mere words which were spoken and simple theological discussion to be studied.
PHOENIX of India compares Qadiani Cult to Baha'i Cult in 1935

QADIAN AND ACRE
Ghulam Ahmad has often been compared with Baha'u'llah. There is a close affinity between the ideas and preaching of these two men. Baha'u'llah was born twenty-two years before Ghulam Ahmad, and died when the latter was past fifty and had yet eighteen years to live. Baha'u'llah and Ghulam Ahmad never met each other, but that circumstance cannot preclude influence of one upon the other. The Iranian is reflected in the Qadiani, and no protestations to the contrary can dislodge him from the hold he seems to have over Ghulam Ahmad's mind. There is a marked family resemblance between the Baha'i and the Qadiani movements. The present chapter is an attempt to compare and contrast Qadianism and Baha'ism.
