******* THE GUARDIAN OF THE BAHA'I FAITH *******
THE FORGOTTEN PROMISE FOUND IN ISAIAH 9
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will
be
upon His shoulder."
All Baha'is believe that this quotation from the Book of Isaiah refers to
Baha'u'llah and that the promise that in this "Day of God" the government
of
the world "will be upon His shoulder," shall be fulfilled when the World
Order of Baha'u'llah is ultimately established in all of its perfection
and
glory.
This promise has been forgotten, following the passing of Shoghi Effendi,
when twenty-six of the twenty-seven Hands of the Cause, who, ignoring the
fact that Shoghi Effendi had been enjoined by the provisions of the Will
and
Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha, to appoint his successor "in his own
life-time,"
looked for a will and testament making this appointment, and upon not
finding such a conventional testamentary do***ent, immediately and
tragically lost faith in the Covenant of Baha'u'llah and in the
immortality
of the divinely-conceived and sacred "Child of the Covenant"-- the Will
and
Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha -- that clearly provides for a succession of
Guardians as long as the Dispensation of Baha'u'llah endures. They then
erroneously concluded that the Guardian****p of the Cause of God had come
to
a premature end only thirty-six years after the inception of the Baha'i
Administrative Order and nefariously attempted to terminate the life of
"the
Child of the Covenant" by declaring, in effect, that the major provisions
of
the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha, pertaining to the highest
institutions of the Faith, had now become null and void. In view of the
respect and prestige they enjoyed with their fellow-believers, they were
able to easily convince the vast majority, as well, that the Guardian****p
of
the Faith had come to a premature end with the passing of Shoghi Effendi.
With the end of the Guardian****p, as they believed, the Hands obviously
had
also terminated their own institution, with the death of the last
surviving
Hand (as only a living Guardian could appoint future Hands) and had, at
the
same time, made it impossible to establish a future legitimate Universal
House of Justice (even in embryonic form) as the explicit terms of the
Will
and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha, requires that that the Guardian of the
Faith
preside as the indispensable permanent "sacred head for life" of that
body.
In their ignominious decision to end the Guardian****p and thereby abolish
all of the highest institutions of the Baha'i Administrative Order, as
delineated by 'Abdu'l-Baha, they now had reduced the Faith to which they
claimed adherence, to nothing more than a schismatic Baha'i sect.
For detailed irrefutable evidence that Shoghi Effendi clearly and
faithfully
provided for the continuance of the Guardian****p of the Faith, visit the

THE FLAGRANT AND INEXCUSABLE BETRAYAL OF SHOGHI EFFENDI
http://www.Bahai-Guardian.com/betrayal.html
"...they will therefore certainly conclude that the Hands had diabolically
corrupted the Baha'i Administrative Order in their replacement of the
divinely-conceived institutions of that Order with a grossly flawed system
of their own making, and thereby had become patently guilty of nothing
less
than a shameless and nefarious betrayal of all that Shoghi Effendi had so
faithfully labored to achieve during his thirty-six year ministry."

MY ACCESSION TO THE GUARDIAN****P

A SUMMARY OF THE TRUE FACTS
http://www.Bahai-Guardian.com/summary.html
Not only misinformation, but a deplorable lack of information has been
posted on Bahá'í newsgroups, from time to time, questioning the validity
of
my accession to the Guardian****p of the Baha'i Faith.

"THE ERRING HANDS ON TRIAL"
A HYPOTHETICAL TRIAL HELD IN THE NEXT WORLD OF THE FORMER HANDS OF THE
CAUSE

GUARDIAN****P FOREVER ENDED.

" WHY DID HE CALL IT "THE CENTRAL BODY"?
http://www.Bahai-Guardian.com/post.html
Shoghi Effendi had yet to appoint the first contingent of the Hands of the
Cause when he wrote his letter of 23 November 1951 in which he referred to
the International Bahá¹í Council as "the Central Body."
" IF YOU SAY "YES," I ACCEPT AS VALID THE FOLLOWING ACTS AND
PRONOUNCEMENTS
OF SHOGHI EFFENDI THEN YOU ARE LEFT WITH ONE INESCAPABLE CONCLUSION.
http://www.Bahai-Guardian.com/pronouncement.html
Certainly, having become apprised for the first time of the decisions,
acts
and historic messages of Shoghi Effendi cited above, these believers will
certainly say "yes,"
"DO THEY REALLY CARE"?
http://www.Bahai-Guardian.com/care.html
DO THESE BAHA'IS CARE THAT THEY, IN EFFECT, CONSIDER THAT THE MAJOR
PROVISIONS OF THE WILL AND TESTAMENT OF 'ABDU'L-BAHA ARE NOW NULL AND
VOID,
DESPITE THE FACT THAT SHOGHI EFFENDI HAD DECLARED THIS SACRED DO***ENT
TO BE A PART OF THE IMMORTAL AND IMMUTABLE EXPLICIT HOLY TEXT?
IT HAS COME TO THIS! They dare not disclose to the enquirer the very
existence of an integral part of the "explicit Holy Text"-- the
divinely-conceived, sacred and immortal Will and Testament of
'Abdu'l-Baha.
