Dear David,
It's fairly obvious why it is advisable to pare our nails.
The fingers of the hands are employed in
Dear Sekhmet,
Isn't showering a subcategory of bathing? And if you can figure out a way
to
take a shower _without_ the water covering your body, while still getting
clean, let me know...
Baha'u'llah said: bathe yourselves each week in water that covereth your
bodies. I understand where you're
Dear Sandra,
As for bathing, it appears to me that Baha'u'llah is actually
endorsing what we now call a shower. The (nearly) bottom
line of this passage is:
If the bather, instead of entering the water, wash himself by
*pouring it upon his body*, it shall be better for him and
shall *absolve*

Dear Sekhmet,
Seems to me you're overinterpreting yourself into a corner. My advice: if

minutiae of bathing are that important to you (why?), ask for an

And don't tell them I sent you...
I would allow for the possibility I'm missing
Dear David,
I think you need to keep in mind that deciding the minutae of Baha'i law is
not the function of scholarship in this Day, though it was in past
Dispensations. As Shoghi Effendi stated:
But praise be to God that the Pen of Glory has done away with the
unyielding an dictatorial views of

Don't tell them I sent you either. But Shoghi Effendi and 'Abdu'l-Baha both
said this is not our business, and I'm quite happy

So in this passage I don't see the meaning you do.
Dear David,
One final word (from me) on the subject of bathing...
Absolve: ...to set free from an obligation or the consequences
of guilt

Dear Dean,
Your question and chastisement was aimed at David, but I like to step
forward and push back against your comment.
During the past couple of months that I've been on this list, to be sure,
I've seen David raise some pretty trivial issues. But that's his right.
And no one has the

Dear Dean,
With respect, I urge you to consider the wisdom of what Khazeh has tried to
explain to you below. Did you read it? I do not see any indication that
you did, and I never saw any acknowledgement that you did.
I read it. I don't see why I would need to respond to it, however. Sure, I
The Bab, at the outset of His mission, explicitly prohibited tobacco, and
the friends one and all abandoned its use. But since those were times when
dissimulation was permitted, and every individual who abstained from smoking
was exposed to harassment, abuse and even death - the friends, in

Dear friends,
I am trying to learn a little about the nature of the correspondence that took place between the Blessed Beauty and the Bab. Are any of the tablets available for study or has anyone studied this topic? Do we know
