But we have only your word for it, that there ever were 23 guardians promised to follow Shoghi Effendi. The 24 "guardians and holy souls" that Abdu'l-Baha refers to in Some Answered Questions page 57, according to a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, are "the Bab, the eighteen Letters of the Living, and five others" (Directives from the Guardian page 22). If you want to make up your own "prophecy" different to this, and then say this has been subject to bada', go ahead. Why would anyone take you seriously? This would just show you are not a very good prophet Sen [email protected] senmcglinn.wordpress.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Sen McGlinn *** All is to be yielded up, save only the *remembrance* of God; all is to be dispraised, except His praise.
