FOUND WITH FEATHERS IN MOUTH

THE CAT THAT ATE THE CANARY



Power corrupts.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Shoghi Effendi: quotes and paraphrases from the document attesting to his absolute authority as "Guardian of the Baha'i Faith"

He is "under the shelter and unerring guidance of The Exalted One (Baha'u'llah)"

Whatever he decides is of God.

Whoever disobeys him, disobeys God.

Who rebels against him, rebels against God.

Who opposes him, opposes God.

Who contends with him, contends with God.

Who disputes with him, disputes with God.

Who denies him, denies God.

Who disbelieves him, disbelieves in God.

Who deviates from him, deviates from God.

Who separates from him, separates from God.

Who turns away from him, turns away from God.

....the wrath, fierce indignation, and vengenace of God will rest upon him.

"It is incumbent ...to show obedience, submissiveness, subordination, turn unto him, be lowly before him."

"Beware lest anyone falsely interpret these words, and like unto them that have broken the Covenant after the Day of Ascension (of Bahá'u'lláh) advance a pretext, raise the standard of revolt, wax stubborn and open wide the door of false interpretation. To none is given the right to put forth his own opinion or express his particular conviction. All must seek guidance and turn unto the Center of the Cause and the House of Justice. And he that turneth unto whatsoever else is indeed in grievous error." --from the alleged "Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha."
