WD_ToRMeNt Posted October 24, 2001 Posted October 24, 2001 Just curious. Please don't flame, rant, or post if you don't know what I'm talking about.
CaptainRAVE Posted October 24, 2001 Posted October 24, 2001 Sorry, couldnt resist asking what exactly that is???
Agen Posted October 25, 2001 Posted October 25, 2001 I swear i was a cat in my last life so i'll pobably get killed but what is (a) Baha'i?
Wilhuf Posted October 25, 2001 Posted October 25, 2001 Baha'i is a religious faith. Look at this to find out.* Torment why do you need to know if JKii.netters are Baha'is?
Guest Kurgan Posted October 26, 2001 Posted October 26, 2001 I'm not, but thanks for asking. ; ) If you're interested in joining up, I'm sure they have folks you can contact if you'd like more information. Kurgan
wardz Posted October 27, 2001 Posted October 27, 2001 I have just looked at the site and to be honest, I have never heard of this faith. Might be my ignorance I dont know. Torment, what purpose does this serve? People would find it weird if just suddenly asked if anyone was a sikh or christian.... wardz
WD_ToRMeNt Posted October 27, 2001 Author Posted October 27, 2001 I have some bahai friends and i was just curious. Read my origional post, I was hoping that no one would reply unless they were. I didn't intend anything else.
Guest Kurgan Posted October 28, 2001 Posted October 28, 2001 I will admit right off the bat that I know precious little about the Bahai faith. From what I gathered (and this was years and years ago) it is a movement based on the teachings of their prophet (who became a martyr, who had a name that I couldn't pronounce), and it claims to be a world faith that encompasses/fulfills the teachings of the other great religions of the world (Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, etc). I believe they also revere Jerusalem as a holy city, along with Muslims and Christians and Jews, but about their individual beliefs, I'd have to do more research (that site might be a good place to start). Here's from dictionary.com, it's also a relatively "new" religious movement: Ba·ha'i (bä-hä, b-h) adj. Of or relating to a religion founded in 1863 in Persia and emphasizing the spiritual unity of all humankind. n. A teacher of or a believer in this faith. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Persian bah’, a follower of Bah’ullh the Splendor of God, Bahaullah, from bah’, splendor, from Arabic. See bhw in Semitic Roots.] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ba·haism (b-häzm, -h-) n. Ba·haist n.
