"""Ron, it's clear from your last word, where you have been reading. Just as critical thinking is an important part of examination of revealed religious truth, so is evaluation of what others write about religion. Where exactly are they leading you? To where they themselves are residing in relation to the Cause. Is that where you want to be? That's the best they can offer you""" Sincerely, Brent, I would really like to know to whom or to what your referring to? I am not reading any other internet groups or lists, haven't for long time, and no books that aren't official Baha'i books. I have no idea who you think I am being influenced by. Susan has often expressed thoughts tha tI am being influenced by others and this bothers me because, for bettter of for worse, my thoughts are my own thought. \ \ As for idolatry; when I was a Crhistian, from about 1966-1994, considered that fundamentalist Christians idolized the Bible, and I often commented to them about this. So, you think I am influenced, but like it or not, some things are just true and different people will come up with them individually, it happens all the time. Please, though, tell me whop you think is influencing me so I can know. Seriously, it is very hard to know who one is supposed to avoid in this faith, since it is mostly by innuendo and no is named. __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
