She said she had been raised Baptist but had been told by her mom
that she didn't care which church she went to as long as she went, so she began
attending different denominations with her many friends. She couldn't figure
out why they were all Christian but each had a "different Bible." She
felt that the Word was the Word and shouldn't be different from one church to
another. Then she talked about different Manifestations and realizing that They
all said the same thing really. Then she found the Faith through Seals and
Crofts and began studying. She said it made sense to her. She's been reading a
bit about the history of the Faith. [We] spoke for over an hour. She finds what she knows about the Faith to be
true to her views. We talked about progressive revelation and I mentioned,
after talking for quite a while, that she might really enjoy [two books] The Seven
Valleys and Hidden Words. She located the Baha'i Reference Library [on the
computer] as we were talking.
Dee contacted the Bahai recently and shared more about herself and
her interest in joining the Faith.
Hi, I will be available all day
Friday [and] I do have a question or two, after going into different areas of
the website. I am ok with not being affiliated with any political party, the
main 2 parties aren't very honorable or stable (imho) [in my honest opinion]. I
do my best to avoid contention and such, but I am an advocate for healthy
living, clean food and such. Am a bit of an activist in those areas, and
strongly feel the need to educate others. Hope the people in charge can let me
in, knowing this about me. Just hoping that I fit into the Faith as much as the
Faith fits me!
Dee is enrolled. She is
happy to have found the Faith and looks forward to connecting with more Baha’is.
