Q: Mrs. Nahid Vahdat Sho’ar, Can you give us an example?
A: Example: It was after the revolution. My brother was in another town. My mother and father had gone on a trip. Now the truth is, he had taken home the lady who was his friend and they had found out about it and rejected this boy for six months administratively and disgraced him. See, they had the characteristics of his life. This was an example. Character assassination is one of the important works of Baha’ism. They commit character assassination. They would come immediately and call his name. They have administrative and spiritual Tard or rejection, they called his name in all the banquets that this gentleman is like that. They disgraced him.
Or, for example, the father of my mother’s first cousin was abroad. When leaving, He had written Muslim and he was dying and had to leave. He said I had the love of my father and for this reason, he was rejected. Of course, they are still Baha’i and have been brainwashed like this. Or they would say to my aunt, why did you have a relationship with your husband during Tarabbos (The period in which the husband and wife must wait for one year after deciding to separate until the divorce is finalized (? One year before the divorce, they have a Tarabbos that they should not have contact with each other at that time. So, he had been rejected.
We have spiritual rejections that are terrible. I was a child, ten or twelve years old. I heard that a man named Fereydoun Taeedi had gone to study in America. Shoghi had said that no one should go to America, then when they found out that he did not listen to the order and went to America, he was rejected spiritually. Then, they come and announce in the meetings that this person should became spiritual rejection. His family and parents and no one else should talk to him! Accidentally, one day the parent saw their rejected son on the bus, they missed him very much. They cried and wept, but they could not go and talk to their son. Because if someone talks to a rejected person, he will also be rejected. They lamented and suffered but did not speak, and their son walked and left without talking to his parent.
I saw another thing with my own eyes and touched it with my soul. There was an old man whom I knew well. When we were children, we had traveled with this man and his wife. I knew him perfectly. He had come and objected why something like the Bayt al-Adl organization or the House of Justice should be above religion? He had given a comment like this. They rejected this old man who had six daughters and one son and a wife. His family threw him out of the house. They kicked him out. This poor man suffered so much in homelessness here and there that there is no limit. Once, he allegedly came to see his daughter and sent a message saying, “Will you let me come to your house?” His daughters were all staunch Baha’is and were so brainwashed that they did not allow this old father to come to their house.
Q: Mrs. Nahid Vahdat Sho’ar, you mean they didn’t allow their father to see his daughter?
A: Yes, yes, it was terrible. This was spiritual rejection.
Q: Do some of these organizational orders still exist? To go through the families to see who has what, or to ask someone who is dying to donate his property to the organization? If you have a sample, please, tell us.
A: Yes, before I tell you about my story and what happened to my sister, please note that I had read the history, but it became very conscionable to me and I truly and completely understood with all my heart what a dangerous group they are.
Before my sister went to the nursing home, we were at home. An old woman and her three daughters lived two streets down. Two of the girls were unmarried and one was married and had a son who was a bit mentally challenged. They lived by themselves. The Baha’i nursing home kept them for a couple of months. They died after one or two months. I didn’t know what was going on until then, my mother was very smart. She understood these things well. Once my mother said: They died within two months. Then, the organization came and confiscated their house.
We heard that the man and the boy he has, were paid to keep quiet. Because they had no one, they gave him money and confiscated his house. This happened after the revolution. Despite all, we did not pay attention and said that maybe it was an agreement; until the issue of my sister happened and I understood in detail. It was as if God wanted these things to happen to me so that I would really understand what is going on and how dangerous they are. If you are a religion, what do you have to do with people’s issues? What do you do with power and politics? What do you have to do with people’s financial issues? What do you have to do with inheritance? You are religion, sit tight.
We had bought a house. My mother lived separately. My sister also had a separate house. Then she got sick, and was secretly taken to the nursing home without the opinion of me and my mother in order to get more money from us. Because my father backed them. They said that we would give you money and take his house and take money from Nahid. They are after money. I(Nahid) realized that I am very hot-blooded. I(Nahid) am hot-blooded. I(Nahid) asked them, why didn’t you inform me and my mother that you were taking him to the nursing home? He is sick. Of course, my sister was Baha’i and backed them, but after all, she was my sister. It is true that we were very different from each other in terms of morals and ideology, but my conscience and feelings and that sense of sisterhood did not allow me to let her go and my heart was burning. I said this is not normal now. He has problems, he cannot walk. They are taking advantage and want to take his house and take more money from us.
If they are telling the truth, they should keep him in his own house. If he has a house, they should bring a nurse to the house and take care of him, take his money. My father used to say that Baha’ism has favorite and non-favorite people. They differ between Baha’i and Baha’i. Even though my father had given so much money to them, in the end, his child did not become a favorite one. They had come to take him, and I realized that they had no good intentions and intended to abuse him. It seems to me that they abuse. I had a problem with this condition of blindness, my mother was also old. They wanted to annoy and upset us, and to take advantage of the opportunity and confiscate the house. This was from the love and unity of their human world. We completely touched this Baha’i practice with our bottom of heart, being close to them.
In short, I(Nahid) brought my sister home; I(Nahid) used to go with the nurse and help her in any way I could. These Baha’is found out that I kept her in her house, they kept calling me anonymously and introducing themselves as my sister’s neighbor, come and take your sister. Come on, do this. Come on, do it like this. She does not observe cleanliness. I used to go to her house and nobody said anything. So who were calling? We understood that it was the Baha’i’s work so that I could not keep her, that they would achieve their wish and take her to a nursing home and take over her house, and that’s how it happened. Because I fought and got involved with them so much and they called so much that they got on my nerves.
They pitted the guards and neighbors against me. They also do these things. If they are not good with someone, they go around and beat them, as they beat my mother a lot. That they say “love”, this is all an outward thing. In practice, this is not the case. Wherever their interests are, wherever they want to do something, they will do whatever they can for their interests. They even kill people, if they ever get the power; that I hope God does not want it to happen
The end
