An American lady says about her presence and quitting the deviant cult of Baha’ism

 

Bahaismiran:

Keren Bacquet is an American lady. She is a researcher exposed and proselytized        by Baha’ism. She speaks about her 14-year experiences.

Living in Baha’i community

It took me a long time that I decided to openly announce my friends concerning how I became a Baha’i and how I left it. U suppose it isn’t important to be prosecuted by anybody else; although the number of Baha’i communities living in the U.S.A. have less than 30 members.

Because of the importance of the issue, I decided not to be deviated the issue when I wanted to explain the condition and history of Baha’ism. For non-Baha’is who are eager to learn more about Baha’ism, there is much information available in the sites and publication centers.

First, I became familiar with Baha’i faith via one of my friends who was an inactive one. If I wasn’t exposed with learning a foreign language system, I wouldn’t become a Baha’i anymore. Consequently, I was defrauded due to one of the claimed teachings of Baha’ism called the unity of religions.

Before meeting Baha’is, I search about Baha’ism for 3 months. Bahaullah’s writings changed me into a Baha’i person. The reasons which caused me to quit Baha’ism are as follows:

1) Women can’t be entered as the member of the universal house of justice:

The first shock was the fact that despite the main teachings of Baha’ism; that is, the equality between men and women, women can’t be elected in the U.H.J. which is the supreme decision making organ in Baha’i world.

2) The proselytizing of the Baha’i faith is one of the tasks of a Baha’i person:

The second shock was that there was a severe pressure on Baha’is to proselytize the Baha’i faith and; in fact all Baha’i community affairs had been organized for this mission to be fulfilled although it had been said that a Baha’i person isn’t charged to force others to charge their religions through proselytizing.

3) Compulsion in managing Baha’i community affairs:

The last and the worst shock was compulsion in managing Baha’i community affairs by everybody. I was searching through Abdul Baha and Shoqi Effendi’s letters to find a path to be a real Baha’i no to be an administrative member because a week after I became a Baha’i I was appointed as a secretary of one of local spiritual assembly (LSA).

One of the most disappointing fact is that nobody has enough time to study the Baha’i main writings because all organizational tasks are more important than studying the works and writings.

Worst of all is the fact that all organizational activities are vain. The years are passing but few people are being attracted by the Baha’i faith.

Quitting the Baha’i community:

I hated the Baha’i faith and I felt guilty due to it. After 14 years of being a Baha’i I left the Baha’i faith. The more I searched about the Baha’i faith, the more I hated it.

According to me the national spiritual assembly of America has also committed treason against Bahaullah’s message.

You can’t search about a reality without asking about it. You can’t claim that science and religion have agreement with each other.

I have stared the future and waited.
