Nets of Wonder
This is not about a problem exactly. It’s a question in my mind about whether there’s any more for me to try to do with Baha’is in Internet discussions, than with other people. With other people, I try to be friends, and have discussions about possible common interests, that might help me or them or people watching us live better lives. People calling themselves Baha’is doesn’t seem to tell me anything at all about what our common interests might be, so it seems like I have to learn by trial and error with them just like with anyone else.
Then I wonder, according to my scriptures, do I have any other responsibilities towards other Baha’is in Internet discussions, beyond my responsibilities towards other people in general? I’ll be doing some research on that.
Here are some examples of what I see Baha’is doing here:
- Promoting their personal belief systems and calling that “The Baha’i Faith.”
- Maintaining a Baha’i bulletin board and information booth.
- Participating in informal debating contests.
I didn’t pay any attention to the Baha’i bulletin board and information booth until yesterday. I’m not interested in working on that, but it might actually be the best thing I see Baha’is doing here, or at least the least damaging to the reputation of the Baha’i Faith.
ETA: Another thing I see Baha’is doing is socializing and getting to know people better, which I see as a common interest.
