Great work! Everyone is worried about these kids... and you’ve brought much needed attention back to some very important elements. I find the hard drives especially interesting!

I once had a friend from a Baha’i family. Not that it’s and indicator, but he stole a bunch of stuff from me.

The religion seems like a cherry picking of all of the easier elements of other religions, mixed with the cultish admiration of a leader. It’s a surprisingly influential religion. If I’m not mistaken, their recruitment is directed towards high-IQ types and Mensa members

I live a couple of towns over from the Baha’i “temple” here in Chicago and I’m friends with a family that’s Baha’i. If it’s any consolation, both parents went to Northwestern and be if their sons got accepted when he was around 15. Super smart, all of them. What else do you know about Baha’i bc I know nothing. I asked them about it years ago and the mom said that sometimes they’ll sing songs around the house but that’s it bc there doesn’t seem to be a traditional weekly congregation. Ohhh, and I remember hearing her say that they encourage race mixing; that particular family was mixed, as well.

From what I remember... there is a prophet of the religion whose philosophy gives respect to Christianity, Islam and Zoroastrianism. It’s an international religion. That is as much as I got when I asked. They did NO PROSELETYZIND and made no attempt to sell me on their religion.

One could take that as respect, but I respectfully asked more than once, basically leaving the door open to be introduced.

That alone struck me as weird. The family was high IQ, or at least believed they were. They totally had an effete, elitist aire.

I liken it to a less virulent strain of Scientology... basically just a thin veneer of unimportant, unbeliever dogma that covers a nepotism system based on recruiting SPECIFIC individuals, not the masses; the way that Scientology recruits drones (whom are the spies and operators of the black mail and secret-keeping apparatus) or ‘queen bees’ (which are the artists that have a narcissistic need for the ego boosting “services” of Scientology).

I need to do more research into the TYPES of people involved with Baha’ito confirm or refute my suspicions, though. I’m mostly speculating based on limited experience and light reading.
