They listed these as: 1.Thyatira (Baha'i Faith) Universal House of Justice in Haifa, Israel 2.Laodicea (The Faith of God, The House of Mankind, The Man, The Universal Palace of Order, etc.) Jamshid Ma'ani (independent prophet who denounced 'Abdu'l-Baha) and John Carre (Gaurdian of this faith who later renouced this group) DEFUNCT! 3.Ephesus (The Mother Baha'i Council, The Orthodox Baha'i Faith) Charles Mason Remey, (Rex King,) Joel Marangella (who ascended while the Charles Mason Remey was still alive) 4.Perganum (see Ephesus, but Under the Regency) Rex King, currently seeking a male descendant of Baha'u'llah to be his successor... 5.Smyrna (The Charles Mason Remey Society) Charles Mason Remey, (Joseph Pepe Remey,) Donald Harvey, Jacques Soghomonian 6.Sardis (Dissidents of the Lamb and the Covenant) not applicable, just dissidents 7.Philadelphia (The City of Brotherly Love (they never actually use this title as a gruop name though), The Baha'is Under the Provision of the Covenant) Charles Mason Remey, Joseph Pepe Remey, Neal Chase Also, what kind of person was 'Amatu'l-Baha Ruhhiyyih Khannum? They have her characterized as the greedy power hungry conspirator who killed Shoghi Effendi. They also use the story of Nimrrod, Semirasmis, and Amrafel/Tammuz as an example of the root of all covenant breaking (ie from the original Adamic religion). ________________________________ From: Susan Maneck <[email protected]> To: Baha'i Studies <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, January 20, 2010 11:25:16 AM Subject: Re: RE: Sects The Baha'i Studies Listserv > There is the prophecy of the seven churches too. The seven churches in Revelation? Those were actual churches which existed at the time the Book of Revelation was written. The Jensenites combine a lot of bizarre prophecies. They are especially fixated with this notion that the catastrophe will occur as a result of a shifting of the earth's axis. It seems that a lot of early American Baha'is believed this including Mason Remey and Ruth Moffet. This belief seems to come from a misunderstanding of a talk Abdu'l-Baha gave in Egypt regarding trade disputes. He stated the following: " A few days the earth shall roll on its axis, and these fleeting visions will be completely forgotten." Abdu'l-Baha was talking about the passage of time, but many early believers imagined this to be a reference to the poles themselves shifting. 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] __________________________________________________ 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]
