Dear Belinda,
As far as I know Dan Jordan was not involved in any drug trafficiking
operation, nor is that what got him killed. He was not killed by Muslim
extermist, either. I think the reason this latter rumor got started is because
of the manner in which Dan Jordan's throat was slit. It fits the profile for
every dastardly Arab assasin that ever appeared in an Israeli spy novel.
However, I won't discuss what I do know aobut the circumstances surrounding his
murder in a public forum.
> I feel really cheated if in fact Dr. jordan was
>involved in drug deals while preaching the Baha'i Faith to all the
>seekers.
I don't think you need to worry about that. Dan Jordan was human and he had his
problems, but as far as I know, drug trafficking wasn't one of them.

Dear Paul,
No, I read that letter but missed Belinda's name entirely since it was so
obviously Henry's style. The questions Belinda was raising in this post seemed
so intelligent and reasonable I never in my wildest imagination would have
thought of it as coming from Henry.
A pity he can't use such skills when he isn't hiding behind another persona. It
might actually make him someone worth talking to.
Yes, it is like reading Tolkien, or some other fantasy.

Yea....It took you dickheads a while to work out that the live ones
fight back.
And I love her curiosity of the Beha'i evil machinery. She thinks that
Susan Maneck- Paul- Koss kesh Kohli -- are out to get her now. Well, I
wish she had used her own laptop at her parents' instead of mine.
Hey Nima, do you recall the evidences regarding the "double " life
that Dr. Jordan lead? My reliable sources (close to the infallible
members of Universal House of Justice) did confide about Dr. Jordan's
double dealings. Thus he was not just murdered during the act of
robbery but rather to settle scores regarding some FAILED DRUG deals.
ANOTHER example IS Hand of the Cause Olinga who was murdered in
Uganda. I was quite baffled by his murder until I was able to uncover
the SAD truth. Mr. Olinga was about to divorce his wife- who hired a
hit man, and gunned him down.
The history of the Beha'i Cult is rife with lies-cover up-violence.
Belinda is now concerned for my safety- since she learned of the
murder of AZALIS in Palestine by the family of Baha'u'llah.
If the Baha'i prophet could murder his own family, then Paul- Koss
Kesh kohli- and maneck would not be far behind in terms of WILLINGLY
harming others.
Dr. Browne wrote in his book regarding the murder of the Azalis.
Baha'is told him in words that " the killings were necessary as is an
amputation of a gangrenous leg". Thereby, those Baha'i murderers could
justify openly the killings of innocent Azalis.
Hope the Fast is going well for you.
Take care.

If they had that kind of information they would have had enough to arrest the

know the circumstances behind Dan Jordan's murder and they are not saying.
Clearly, *you* do not know.

Try again. Enoch Olina was murdered *along* with his wife and children. He was
a victim of the attacks on numerous members of the Ugandan upper and middle
classes which occured in the chaos following the fall of the regime.
Just can't get anything right, can you?
>Belinda is now concerned for my safety- since she learned of the
>murder of AZALIS in Palestine by the family of Baha'u'llah.
Oh my, here we go again. In the first place, none of the members of
Baha'u'llah's family were involved in those murders. Second, Belinda was here
earlier posing as a Baha'i. Third do you really expect us to believe that if
she was an Azali she would not know about this incident?
>If the Baha'i prophet could murder his own family,
Uh, what member of His family is He supposed to have murdered? Azal outlived
Him by quite a few years.
>Dr. Browne wrote in his book regarding the murder of the Azalis.
>Baha'is told him in words that " the killings were necessary as is an
>amputation of a gangrenous leg".
Garbeled it again! The phrase referring to the amputation of a gangerous leg is
taken from a conversation recorded in Year Amongs the Persians. It was in
reference to Muhammad having executed some of His enemies and had nothing to do
with the assasination of the Azalis. Indeed, the Baha'i in question went on to
say that such things were prohibited in this Day. He was simply not willing to
judge Muhammad by today's standards.
The problem is that you posted under her ID, not that she
posted under yours.
Whether you are two people, or just one, the fact that a
Miss Carlisle posts that she finds your messages "interesting"
seems a little fishy when it turns out that you two are
somehow intimately related in real life - such that you
would even post from each other's email accounts.
She is certainly more interesting than you. Can you

Paul
> Yes- yes.

No? No? If you are saying that BelindaCarlyle who recently posted
here, was once lead singer of the Go-Gos, then there are three possible
explanations. First, though, you need to understand that the lead
singer of the "Go Gos" was Belinda Carlisle. Note the spelling of the
last name, "Carlisle". Here is a link to a fan club, or some such
related thing:
http://www.belinda-carlisle.com/
For BelindaCarlyle to be Belinda Carlisle, she might have eloped with a
fellow with the family name "Carlyle" and spared the fans the confusion.
Another expanation is that she just can't spell her own name
properly. Yet another explanation, far more likely, is that, once again,
you are patently wrong.

Yeah, he has real problems keeping his story straight. He attempts afterwards
to cover his steps are even more pathetic, like trying to get around the fact
he claimed that Enoch Olinga wife killed him because he was going to get a
divorce, then changing the story when it became evident the wife and kids were
themselves shot!

Haven't you been saying ABM Gadirian or whatever gives you insider
information? Why are so many people annoyed at you and use his (or her)
name in relationship to you? One poster here just did it today. --Cal
American style? In America you can't have two wives. You've got to
divorce one to marry another one. Then the first one is not your wife
any longer. So Olinga divorced the first wife and married the second
one? So what's the problem? --Cal
Wrong. Susan said Olinga married his wives one after the other,
"American style." That means he divorced his first, then married
another woman. Right? Not that it matters, I guess, but to clear up
the confusion on what Baha'i Hands of the Cause can and cannot do....
--Cal
Oh, that I didn't know.
LOL, first off Dr. Ghadirian is a Counsellor not an ABM. And it is other people
such as yourself who have been saying he gives me inside information.
>Why are so many people annoyed at you and use his (or her)
>name in relationship to you?
Why? Because more than anyone else it was Dr. Ghadirian who was responsible for
restoring my confidence in the Universal House of Justice and bringing me out
of the dissident camp. No one is going to forgive him for that.
And does having two wives automatically make you a slave, or, worse, a
slave-owner? :-)
The article http://www.bci.org/reno/olinga.htm strongly indicates he
had two wives concurrently, as allowed for culturally (and,
presumably, in civil law). It's not something I've asked Grace. I
don't even know which of Enoch's wives is Grace's natural mother.
But why not email the guy who wrote the article, N. Richard Francis -

According to Baha'i law if he was married to these wives before he became a

Is that what they told you when they bumped off Hedi Ma'ani as well?
Maybe you were involved in that one yourself. How do we know? Perhaps

Indeed, how do we know?
You mean Hedi Moani, I assume. You gotta admit that it was pretty
clever of me to frame the guy who was staying at Hedi's place, then
persuade him to steal Hedi's car, drive down to Wanganui and later to
convince the mdical profession and judiciary that he was a nutter. Did
I mention the forensic evidence. Well... oh, sorry, I haven't got
time.
But it's nice that you think an effeminate little guy me could take
out big tough Hedi with a knife, after a hell of a struggle.
What was my motive for topping Hedi? He was a womaniser, but that
didn't bother me personally. I think he got in the NSA's face a bit
too, which is always good for a laugh. There was some irony in 'feet
of clay' Hedi being named a martyr, but he was a great teacher.

Not a Cal moment at all. You should be saying a Jim Hebegger moment. I
have no illusions that two same gender people in the Faith will ever get
married, even if every Nation in the world allows it. There are lots of
things etched in Baha'i stone, and that's one of quite a few. A Baha'i
same-gender couple could write in blood on the Aqdas and have computer
chips implanted in their genitals as monitors that they're not having
sex in their marriage, and it would make no difference. Sorry, you,
Jim, and Susan, you bleeding heart liberals you! --Cal

Well, Cal why don't you find the URLs to such comments so we can all see what a
liar I am supposed to be?
Last I checked neither were you. And ever story you have posted on this list
has either been an out and out lie or hopelessly garbled.
That wasn't the question. The question was whether they could stay married if
they already were. And I happen to know of a case in LA where that happened.
The person who declared let the Assembly know of his living situation, that he
was married to this person, but they had been living chastely for a number of
years and intended to remain so. I don't think anyone ever questioned him on
this further.
Susan
So, is there a rule about how a man with multiple wives
has to decide which one he's going to sleep with in
future, while remaining married to his other wives
without sleeping with them?
That's a little unfair on the other wives, isn't it?

I am not the slightest bit insecure. What it does prove is even those
like Susan Maneck with PHD's can make typo's and spelling errors. No
one is infallible in this field on TRB or eleswhere. That is why
computers today have spellchecks.

It's not what a liar you're supposed to be; it's what a liar you can be

and everything out the window when it comes to their perception of
"protecting the Faith." They'll lie better than my Sharouk carpet. I'm
suprised the Powers That Be haven't made you one of those Councillors
you so rely upon for your sustenance and information-gathering. You got
the metal, the forehead markings, and all the other makings, girlfriend.

is "don't ask, don't tell" - it just doesn't cut the mustard.

Ah, go fuck yourself. Then learn how to read.
Asswipe.
LOL. Believe me, there are plenty of those in the states. Not sure how many are
just roomates, though. ;-}
However, in the case I was referring to the new believer insisted he was going
to remain married to his male partner but celibate, not just a roomate. The
Assembly in question didn't object. I don't question his veracity on this
matter, as I heard him assert this years before he became a Baha'i and was busy
attacking it. Then Mahdi came along and his arguments against the Faith
converted Ernesto and he declared. (Take a bow, Mahdi!) I'm not sure he stayed
a Baha'i, though. I think at one point he may have even become a Remeyite but
he must not have stayed long because I never heard he was officially declared a
Covenant breaker. Some of the Remeyites here may know this guy. He was always
very open about his lifestyle so I don't think I need to keep it a secret.

Only one of them is a Baha'i, or was. I don't know his current status. I should
add that they had already been living together celibately for years before this
guy became a Baha'i.
>and endorsed by
>the Faith?
I didn't say they endorsed it, I said he explained to the Assembly his
situation when they enrolled him.
>How could that be? LA is not marrying gay couples.
They were already married when one of them became Baha'is.
>And the
>Faith doesn't even allow two men to live together who are gay.
Well, that's not what the Assembly told him at the time.
Fascinating. What does Bob Henderson and the rest of the NSA along with
the House of Justice say about these Los Angeles same gender
cohabitation developments? It looks like the left hands don't know what
the right hands are up to.
The American NSA used to have the policy that two guys living together
was verboten if they were homosexual. I just learned of one in a
Western State whose companion was dying of AIDs and the NSA demanded
they separate--banishing the sick one to a hospice to die I would
imagine. He alleges that the House of Justice hadn't yet responded to
his appeal. One person did say she observed that the NSA acted on a
case-by-case basis, depending on whether the parties were Persian,
white, well-to-do, or prominent in the community. I think her view may
have merit from what I've heard and observed.
This case-by-case thing is a real thorn for people interested in
jurisprudence rather than fickle application of so-called Baha'i ways of
doing things, aka Baha'i administration of justice. --Cal
I don't know that they know about it. Nor do I know of any ruling from the NSA
regarding people of the same sex living together. If you, please post the
letter.
>The American NSA used to have the policy that two guys living together

Can you find that policy? It isn't in "Developing Distinctive Bahá’í
Communities." I would be very much surprised if the NSA developed separate
policies for dealing with homosexuals than apply to other believers especially
since the House of Justice seems adverse to the notion of a 'gay' identity.

I can believe the first part of the statement is true. I think the second part
is sheer nonsense!

I expect it is. But it is difficulty to deal with issues having spiritual
ramifications any other way.

Back in 1982, the Baha'i Administration was very quick to blame muslim
extremists for Dr. Jordan's murder. In fact, Susan Maneck did comment
on Dr. Jordan's large neck wound which would be attributed to Islamic
fanatics (refer to her previous post). However, one can not always
blame the Muslims for the ills of the Baha'is. After all, wasn't
Baha'ullah family and friends murdering his own half brother's family
in Akka back in the late 19th century?
Let them reply.

I didn't know the NSA was in the habit of posting it's letters to
individual Assemblies. If you want the NSA's comments on the subject of
same gender cohabitation request it of them. I do remember that the
person sending the letter to our assembly was Anne somebody or other
with a European-sounding name. I heard she was either no longer a
Baha'i or in bad graces for some reason. Maybe you know. --Cal
Cal,
If it is a 'policy' as you originally asserted it goes into Distinctive Baha'i
Communities so that all LSAs may act in accordance with it. Of course, later on
you admitted it wasn't policy and that these things were dealt with on a
case-to-case basis.
>If you want the NSA's comments on the subject of

You're the one who made the assertions, not me.
>I do remember that the

Likely it was Anne Strausburg.

She left the National Center years ago. My impression is that she was used to
Glenford Mitchell and never hit it off with the next Secretary-General. Also, I
think she got cancer. But far from leaving the Faith, last I heard she was
serving on the Wilmette LSA.

He picked up a young boy, took him back to his house and was
murdered by the boy. Whether the boy was deranged or not I have
no idea.831...@posting.google.com>...
Dear Damon,
The person who murdered Hedi Moani was found not guilty by reason of insanity,
so I think it is safe to say he was deranged. He stated at the deposition
hearing that he saw Hedi as "the anti-Christ" who was converting the leaders of
his Church to the Baha'i Faith, and therefore decided that
Hedi had to be "terminated".

Hi Damon,
Nice to hear from a fellow New Zealander on the newsgroup. It sounds
like the guy was deranged, by all accounts:
"A West Auckland man was last night found not guilty by reason of
insanity of the murder of Devonport man Hediayatulaih [sic] Moani."

The whole Hedi Moani tribute site seems to be worth a look:
