The danger in reading Covenant breaker sites is often not that the
person will be in danger of following these groups; it is that they
destroy one's faith. The confusing answers of Mr. Grey, and his
statement that he is leaving religion altogether, make the point very
clearly.
'
One of the most malicious slanders of the Faith is the comparisons of
the Learned to the East German stazi or other tyrannical regimes. This
prevents the believer from seeking support from the people most capable
of giving it.
As to the person who supposedly met a grandson of Abdu'l-Baha, whose
father broke the Covenant, and through whom he did not claim to be a
Guardian. This makes absolutely no sense. The children of Abdu'l-Baha
were all daughters.
It is more likely that it was a great grandson, and possibly one of them
was, for a time, faithful to the Covenant during the conversation he had
with the believer you know. But now all of the male descendants, down
to the present day, are out of the Faith (or at least that was the case
up to a decade ago when I asked a House member).
