Without doing research, have you heard of the Baha'i Faith? What are your impressions

I'm just putting some feelers out there to see what the community here thinks!

No

Yeah I heard of it in 1969 in the Army from members of the faith who told me they have gatherings on Friday nights.

Later I learned it's an off shoot of Islam that is not accepted by Islam.

That's about all I know if it, other than those I met were nice and sincere and, like me, drafted in to the Army.

We were all conscientious objectors. Mormons, Ba'Hai's, Christians, Muslims. Fort Sam comrades.

By the way, the first I talked with was 100% white bread American!

is it some sort of Indian or Pakistani religion?

I've heard of it. If it works for the worshipers, and it doesn't harm me, I'll accept their views. Whether or not I agree with them is another story.

I have HEARD of it, yes. But that's it. I honestly know nothing about their beliefs.

I think it's a form of Islam. I went to school with a bunch of Baha'i people and they were very nice. I never felt threatened around them.

It began as a movement within Shiah Islam in the 1840s.
It is an independent religion now.
If you were to sum it up in one statement; it would be "Man is one, God is one, all religions are one."

I became a Baha'i in 1984. I think you're looking for people who aren't Baha'is to answer, but feel free to email me if you like or check out the web site I listed.

i have heard of it, and alto of spiritual people whose opinions i respect have made reference the the Baha'i Faith. They speak nothing but blessings and thanks.
I did just purchase a book that has the basics on alto of the major world religions, which includes the Baha'i Faith..but i have not yet had a chance to read up on it yet.
Blessings and Peace to you!
Blessed Be
