Dear David, Initially, in his Third Proclamation, Mason Remey ordered his followers to shun all those who rejected his leadership. It became evident, however, that they would not be able to recruit anyone if they did this. The current position of the Remeyites are that the Hands of the Cause were Covenant breakers who should be shunned but we are merely their ignorant sheep who they can try and win over. Covenant breakers do sometimes shun Covenant breakers from other groups, however. We are free game, though. warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:[email protected] Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [email protected] Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[email protected] Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
