results of the administration ... an historical indictment against them
(100).


Ruth White. Abdul Baha's Questioned Will and Testament.
Beverly Hills: White, 1946.

"Whether the alleged will of Abdul Baha is authentic or spurious, the
results of the administration of Shoghi Effendi and the National
Spiritual Assembly of Baha'is stand as an historical indictment against
them. [Boldface in original] They no more represent the Bahai Religion
than the bigots of the dark ages of Christianity.

"We had the dark ages because the bigots of that era got control of
Christ's teachings and tortured all those who did not comply with their
interpretation. Shoghi Effendi, and the National Spiritual Assembly of
Baha'is, cannot in this day resort to physical torture to enforce their
will, but they have resorted to mental torture by blackmailing with
excommunication all those who do not comply with their inverted
teachings" (100).

Andrew/Ilsa is just one of life's failures.His sole purpose in life is to serve
to remind decent folk what decent really means.I guess you could say that his
role creates comfort for many people so thatthey can read what comes up from
the bottom of the cesspool.It is a tough job Andrew has taken on but he
certainly is imminently qualified to wade up to his neck in the wastage of his
own life.
Andrew Kingoff aka ilsa is a known repeated liar and despicable person.
He and Happy have a lot in comon.
That says Jan Drew.


Who is Jan Drew ? Jan Drew is a person who showed up in the net in 1999. Since
then he dumped trash, lies and insults and forgeries into the net. Day for day.
Thousands and thousands of postings filled with lies and hate, and hate and
lies. All for one sole reason : to advertize quackery and charlatanism.


Mark Thorson <***@sonic.net> collected some examples which show the character

Perhaps it was some kind of ritual
abuse by someone of the Jewish faith.

I have no problem with anyone being Jewish,
God has a problem when people deny
that Jesus is the son of God.

Thank you, and expect to be attacked by

http://www.google.com/groups?selm=20020620012318.03061.00000738%40mb-bg.aol.com

The only reason I called Andrew a jew boy
is because he posted 10 commmandments and
he doesn't believe in God or the bible.

Quoting from this ORIGINAL posting from Jan Drew:
http://www.google.com/groups?selm=20020506134413.21486.00007488%40mb-fj.aol.com

And my calling Andrew a jew boy was NOT racists.

If I had called him, ass clown, idiot, moron,
a lying stack of shit, or told him to F**k off,
that would be A OK,,,,,,,,,,right?

http://www.google.com/groups?selm=20020505002125.00763.00008303%40mb-bg.aol.com

What's the big deal? Calling you a jew boy was
exactly because you are a jew. The same as you
calling me a methodist or baptist girl.
It doesn't even come close to all the names
you have called and your constant trash talk.

Their are Jews here and there are atheists,
(they are the ones who have told the group) with the
exception of IIena, they have proven themselves
to be liars, deceitful and insulters.

Quoting from this ORIGINAL posting from Jan Drew:
http://www.google.com/groups?selm=20030630184145.13643.00002027%40mb-m11.aol.com

That's because most every atheist and jew here
has INDEED lied. They know it,
yet they cover for each other.

Quoting from this ORIGINAL posting from Jan Drew:
http://www.google.com/groups?selm=20030614013041.10617.00001458%40mb-m15.aol.com

The group here are mostly atheists and jews,
(who falsely believe they are enlightened) and need
to have an argument going, thinking they can boast their
ego. They tell lies, twist what is said, and IMHO
are lead by Satan.

Quoting from this ORIGINAL posting from Jan Drew:
http://www.google.com/groups?selm=20030613000639.06893.00001804%40mb-m19.aol.com

The truth is that most debunkers on MHA
who LIE through their tetth, do nothing
but belittle, and are filled with hate, are atheists or jews.

Quoting from this ORIGINAL posting from Jan Drew:
http://www.google.com/groups?selm=20030612202124.06893.00001784%40mb-m19.aol.com

I repeat:
The debubnker's here are atheist or jews.

http://www.google.com/groups?selm=20030612014151.04369.00001280%40mb-m15.aol.com

No, they aren't right, they are greatly deceived
as Eve was when Satan debunked
God's word.
That was the start of debunking.
Then the jews Jesus's very own people tried
to debunk his words, and even
debunked his miracles whch happened right
before their eyes.

Quoting from this ORIGINAL posting from Jan Drew:
http://www.google.com/groups?selm=20030612011123.04369.00001278%40mb-m15.aol.com

Yes Jesus was a jew, his own people rejected him.
They debunked all his words and works,
and now debunking and lies are second
nature to them. That is how Satan works.

Quoting from this ORIGINAL posting from Jan Drew:
http://www.google.com/groups?selm=20030610213830.23300.00000368%40mb-m26.aol.com

Most of the debunkers are either atheists or Jews.

http://www.google.com/groups?selm=20030324214236.16466.00000249%40mb-mf.aol.com

It seems the Jews here have taken over this ng,
with their vile false accusations and they are all filled
with hate.

involved.

Indeed, the Jews and atheists on this ng have lied over
and over, as well as posting nasty hateful lying websites
trying to personally trash. That is the facts.

Quoting from this ORIGINAL posting from Jan Drew:
http://www.google.com/groups?selm=20040223172959.20223.00000244%40mb-m04.aol.com

To say the JewS rejected Christ, is NOT anti-semitism,,,
IT IS THE TRUTH.
To say Satan is the king of all liars, and leads those
who practice lying is NOT anti-semitism,,,IT IS THE TRUTH.
To say the Jew on this ng are liars, is NOT anti-semtisim, ,,,
IT IS THE TRUTH AND HAS BEEN PROVEN WITH THEIR OWN WORDS.

http://www.google.com/groups?selm=20040220213242.12315.00000073%40mb-m02.aol.com

We have seen every single Jew here lie, but it isn't limited
to them.

the civil police, killing the dissenters directly.

The Inquisition and Crusades were the very dark side of the
Christianity religion.
Those died from the persecution really had not recourse, simply
because they were dead.
However, current people should understand how evil the organized crime
can be....as well as the non-existence
of any deity to protect the innocent.

But should a god had its hand in it, then the evil deity needs to be
driven out of people's life. Those associated with
it are real trash of humanity.

Well, I'm not, and while the Inquisition was horrible beyond measure
and absolutely lacking a decent excuse, there actually was a teeny-
tiny bit of reason behind the Crusades. When Mohammad's made-up
religion began, most of what we think of as "the Middle East" was
nominally christian, and there was freedom of travel to and from
Jerusalem and neighboring lands. When the muslims swept through the
area, those who chose not to convert were either put to the sword, or
relegated to being second-class citizens. Most importantly from the
aspect of the Crusades, the muslims stopped free travel and free trade
in the area. The Crusades were an attempt to win back access to
lands, trade, and holy places.

Of course, there's not one iota of excuse for either christianity *or*
islam, they're both primitive fairy tales. But the christians
actually didn't start that fight, for whatever it's worth.

False.http://www.newcriterion.com/articles.cfm/what-dark-ages-1460
So you don't think burning anyone at the stake who disagrees with the church
is a good thing?
I don't think it's a good thing, and I'm pleased to know it wasn't the
Church's practice.
I see you're a Christian apologist.
Well, I'm not, and while the Inquisition was horrible beyond measure
and absolutely lacking a decent excuse, there actually was a teeny-
tiny bit of reason behind the Crusades. When Mohammad's made-up
religion began, most of what we think of as "the Middle East" was
nominally christian, and there was freedom of travel to and from
Jerusalem and neighboring lands. When the muslims swept through the
area, those who chose not to convert were either put to the sword, or

islam, they're both primitive fairy tales. But the christians

But there was no reason to slaughter innocent women and children and guess
what, some of them were actually Jewish and Christian. But I guess since
they tolerated Muslims they weren't seen as true Christians by the
terrorists.

By saying the church didn't burn people at the stake. It was their policies
and a book about how witches are supposed to be in league with Satan (I

The church itself did not do the burning. Here is how it worked.

Someone wanted widow Browns farmstead.
They went to the local church, & screamed witch.
The priests captured widow Brown & tortured her until she confessed.
Then & only then did they turn her over to civil authority for burning,
with the blessing of the church.

The book, The Witches Hammer. You want more on this, search for burning
times on the web. that is what they are called by those that do research
on the subject of gods choosen playing god & killing others for fun &
prophet.

BTW, the accuser did not always get the property desired, sometimes it
was awarded to the church.

Yeah we feel guilty so we make up sin to separate us from God. If there is a

Are you serious? Look at Christianity, we are all evil sinners. Not only
that we all have original sin and will pay for something we didn't even do.
The only way we can be forgiven is if we believe some 1st century rabbi was

MP: If there's no such thing as sin, what do we feel guilty about?

AB: They are unrelated. Sin is the fallacy of being without God. Guilt is
the having done something wrong. My wife knew a combat veteran who was a
sole survivor of a platoon patrol. He felt guilty to be alive. That
feeling does not mean he actually did anythign wrong, it is a reflection of
his feelings and training: he let his comrades down in letting them all
die, regardless if there really was anything he could have done to save any
of them.

AB: I don't feel guilty. I don't tell everyone I'm saved from sin. I just

All religions are the same: religion is basically guilt, with different
holidays. -Cathy Ladman, comedian, writer, actress (1955- )
I know of no religion that is ALL about guilt, nor do I know anyone
who doesn't deserve to feel some guilt.
Yeah we feel guilty so we make up sin
MP: If there's no such thing as sin, what do we feel guilty about?
AB: They are unrelated. Sin is the fallacy of being without God. Guilt is
the having done something wrong. My wife knew a combat veteran who was a
sole survivor of a platoon patrol. He felt guilty to be alive. That
feeling does not mean he actually did anythign wrong, it is a reflection of
his feelings and training: he let his comrades down in letting them all
die, regardless if there really was anything he could have done to save any
of them.
what a fucking moron.
All this time and effort practicing celibacy for a few days, and this is
what I get?
Post by Christopher A. Lee
This is the real world outside your religion,
Where before you say something so mind-bogglingly and
question-beggingly stupid, you have to demonstrate its existence.
What's wrong with you?
Nuthin. I'm a currently celibate moron, and I'm happy with it, and when I
get less than happy about it, I'll do something about it.
Whoa your celibate by choice? I'm celibate but as soon as I meet the right
girl (ie one who will be with me) that's going to change. Sorry, I'm not
afraid of some old man in the clouds watching my every move anymore. If
there is a higher power (and Christopher I'm not saying there is) the idea
of him watching my every move is kind of creepy.

AB: I don't feel guilty. I don't tell everyone I'm saved from sin. I just
live with God.
You meant to say you live in your own little deluded fantasy world and
are too stupid to understand others don't.
I read the internet from time to time to find anti-socially like minded
folks, like you.

How, exactly?
Using the revealed gods of the deserts fiollowers thechniques?

you done wrong.
You feel bad.
God can make you feel better.

Condensed version of course, & based on the assumption that though the
question may have been serious to you, it is not in the group I am
responding from.

walksalone who spent to much time on a possible serious inquiry, but what
is time to a cow, when you are the cow?

Is this the rest of the story, or the beginning?

gossip


• noun 1 casual conversation or unsubstantiated reports about other
people. 2 chiefly derogatory a person who likes talking about other
people’s private lives.

• verb (gossiped, gossiping) engage in gossip.

— DERIVATIVES gossiper noun gossipy adjective.

— ORIGIN Old English, originally in the sense "godfather or godmother",
later "a close friend, a person with whom one gossips"; related to SIB.

3. gossip is a very old word, but it has only existed in its modern
pejorative sense of ‘idle talk, rumour’ since the early 19th century.
It's formed on Old English god + sib ‘related’ (compare ‘sibling’), and
originally had positive connotations, referring to a baptismal sponsor or
godparent. From this it came to mean a family friend, especially a
woman's female friend (thus, in one mid-16th century quotation, a woman
‘is to her Gossypes gone to make mery’), and from thence to a woman given
to idle chatter of the sort female friends were alleged to make together.
The rest is, well, history.

Ah, maybe that is why you neglected Sam I Am?

Seiously though, you don't list just "God". People and cultures can divide
themselves in pretending that the other person's omnipotent, omniscient boss
is _not_ their ooboss. This is an excuse for trouble.

Somebody just wrote, "Were all evil sinners who also have original sin to".
I was responding to whoever wrote that. I supposed they were assertting a
concern about Original Sin. Maybe that supposition was a mistake on my
part. Maybe you wrote it but did not say it, or did not write it, whatever,
Original Sin asserts that God creates people so they are born in sin. Any
theological assertion that God's creation is imperfect, looks wrong to me.

mistake on my part. Maybe you wrote it but did not say it, or did not
write it, whatever, Original Sin asserts that God creates people so they
are born in sin. Any theological assertion that God's creation is
imperfect, looks wrong to me.

I said Christianity says that. You need to pay more attention to what
people write. And I thought I had to pay attention.
It's the period. Folks are using the period to separate thoughts. "Look at
Christianity." and "Were all evil sinners who also have original sin" is not
the same as "Christians espouse that we are all evil sinners who also have
original sin."

All religions are the same: religion is basically guilt, with different
holidays. -Cathy Ladman, comedian, writer, actress (1955- )
I know of no religion that is ALL about guilt, nor do I know anyone
who doesn't deserve to feel some guilt.
Then you need to disuss your POV with the authoress of the quote, no?
BTW, it says basically, not exclusivly about guilt.

I see no reason to discard the quote, & suspect I won't.
Was there anything else at this time?

walksalone who has often wondered, why people that disagree with quotes,
don't do it with the author.

Lots of people think they're charitable if they give away their old
clothes
and things they don't want. It isn't charity to give away things you want
to get rid of and it isn't a sacrifice to do things you don't mind doing.
-Myrtle Reed, author (1874-1911)

I see you're a Christian apologist.
Is affixing that label to me sufficient response to what I've posted?
But you are apologizing for the brutal crimes of the Catholic church.
What crimes have I "apologized" for?
By saying the church didn't burn people at the stake. It was their
policies and a book about how witches are supposed to be in league
with Satan (I forget the name) that inspired the mob mentality.
The church itself did not do the burning. Here is how it worked.
Someone wanted widow Browns farmstead.
They went to the local church, & screamed witch.
The priests captured widow Brown & tortured her until she confessed.
Then & only then did they turn her over to civil authority for burning,
with the blessing of the church.
The book, The Witches Hammer. You want more on this, search for burning
times on the web. that is what they are called by those that do research
on the subject of gods choosen playing god & killing others for fun &
prophet.
BTW, the accuser did not always get the property desired, sometimes it
was awarded to the church.
Ah well there you go, the church were responsible for the burning times but
it didn't actually do the burning.
What a sad chapter for humanity.

I'll bet next your going to say Joan of Arc wasn't burnt at the steak.
You'd lose that bet.
Good.

walksalone who is not as familiar with that era as he should be, but
three years in Nam gave me my fill of human greed & senseless violence
against others.

"We had the dark ages because the bigots of that era got control of

False.http://www.newcriterion.com/articles.cfm/what-dark-ages-1460

I don't think it's a good thing, and I'm pleased to know it wasn't the
Church's practice.

I didn't say that; I said it wasn't their practice to burn at the
stake *anyone* who disagreed with them (i.e., they did burn at least
one).

No they just allowed mob mentality to do that.

MP: I didn't say that; I said it wasn't their practice to burn at the

AB: I agree that they did not burn at the stake *everyone* who disagreed
with the Church. They certainly did burn some, and they had the state burn
others.
