Those who don't know

I was wondering about those who are unfortunate enough to have neve met a Baha'i, but has met a covenant breaking sect and became one of them. I was wondering if they are covenant breakers as well?

As you know only the Universal House of Justice makes that determination to assign that designation.

I have a friend who originally came from a covenant breaker group at the time unbeknownst to him and then declared after he realized it.. He has been a Baha'i now for some years and faithfully served the Faith. He went on pilgrimage and married a relative of Hand of the Cause of God Ali Akbar Furutan who now is in the Abha Kingdom.

So I think any Covenant Breaker could reapply and state their rteasons and willingness to serve the Faith.

I came to know Mr. Furutan while on pilgrimage and he is such wonderful soul my prayers are for him.. please say a prayer for him.

A former Covenant Breaker

I will not reveal who she is, but I know someone whose introduction to the Faith was joining the Covenant Breaker group. However she became clear about the Faith, and Margerite Sears was her "sponser" when she entered the Faith. She made an incredible contribution to "us" when she worked with great diligence to publish her Baha'i husband's book, his only publication, after his untimely death. It is one of my most favorite Baha'i books of all times that is not scripture. So we may not underestimate the power of our Faith. I will tell you the name of the book if you send me a message. I adore it.
