    "out of love"...

    In another forum, it was mentioned that people share/teach their religion 'out of love'... I have no doubt that they truly believe that. Though some people apparently think that tough love qualifies in this regard. But it makes me wonder what some people understand 'love' to be. so this...

    doubletake.tv presents hip, inspiring stories of ordinary Bahá'í's doing extraordinary things. Take the example of Layli Miller, a law student who took on one of the most famous cases in the recent history of women's rights and then went on to start the Tahirih Justice Center. The...

    One Unfolding Process

    As human's with a life span of 80-100 years if we're lucky, it's understandable that we view religion in light of our frame of reference. But... If we step way back and view history in light of many centuries to millenia increments...we begin to realize that the surges of progress in...

    The Way

    Dear Friends, It seems that many people are unaware that many religions make this claim. CHRISTIANITY, John 14:6 1. I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. BUDDHISM, Dhammapada 20:274 2. This is the path. There is no other that leads to...

    my husband recently purchased a used teepee (tipi), and the lady he got it from gave him 2 buffalo (bison) skulls. She told him that one of them she was told held magical powers and was over 200 years old. (I think she said it belonged to a medicine man) They are very cool :) Just wondering...

    Expectations?

    What if, God consistently utilizes the same tools from age to age, but yet humanity repeatedly fails to learn the lessons of the past and continually expects the next messenger to literally fulfill all of the prophecies with exuberance and fanfare?
