Charles Mason Remey Architect of The International Bahá'í Archives Building on Mt. Carmel

  According to Shoghi Effendi, on page 74 of Messages to the Bahá'í World 1950-1957 , Charles Mason Remey was the architect of The International Bahá'í Archives building on Mt. Carmel. Not only has the criminal enterprise masquerading as the Bahá'í Faith denied Charles Mason Remey his rightful place as the Second Guardian, but they have stripped him of his accomplishment as the one who designed this significant building on Mount Carmel. Charles Mason Remey studied Architecture at L'Ecole Des Beaux Arts in Paris. He was one of the only Westerners to visit the first Bahá'í Temple in Ishqabad, designed by 'Abdu'l-Bahá. In 1914 'Abdu'l-Bahá instructed Charles Mason Remey to write a book on the subject of Architecture, which he did. In 1921, 'Abdu'l-Bahá named Charles Mason Remey Architect of the future Mashriqu'l-Adhkár on Mount Carmel. Shoghi Effendi used the designs of Charles Mason Remey for the graves of the Greatest Holy Leaf, her mot...

Shoghi Effendi: The Institution of the Guardianship, Foremost Rank in the Divinely Ordained Administrative Hierarchy of the World Order of Bahá'u'lláh

 "Evidence of increasing hostility without, persistent machinations within, foreshadowing dire contests destined to range the Army of Light against the forces of darkness, both secular and religious, predicted in unequivocal language by 'Abdu'l-Bahá, necessitates in this crucial hour closer association of the Hands of the five continents and the bodies of the elected representatives of the national Bahá'í communities the world over for joint investigation of the nefarious activies of internal enemies and the adoption of wise, effective measures to counteract their treacherous schemes, protect the mass of the believers, and arrest the spread of their evil influence. "Call upon Hands and National Assemblies, each continent separately to establish henceforth direct conact and deliberate, whenever feasible, as frequently as possible, to exchange reports to be submitted by their respective Auxiliary Boards and national committees, to exercise unrelaxing vigilance and c...

Shoghi Effending Quotes 'Abdu'l-Bahá, in The World Order of Bahá'u'lláh, about the Kingdom of earth and the Interpreter

 "I affirm," is 'Abdu'l-Bahá's own written comment on the Tablet of the Branch, "that the true meaning, the real significance, the inner most secret of these verses, of these very words, is my own servitude to the sacred Threshold of the Abha Beauty, my complete self effacement, my utter nothingness before Him. This is my resplendent crown, my most precious adorning.  On this I pride myself in the Kingdom of earth and heaven. Therein I glory among the company of the well-favored." "No one is permitted," He warns us in the passage which immediately follows, "to give these verses any other interpretation." "I am," He, in this same connection, affirms, "according to the explicit texts of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas and the Kitáb-i-'Ahd the manifest Interpreter of the Word ofGod...Whoso deviates from my interpretation is a victim of his own fancy." –Shoghi Effendi.  The World Order of Bahá'u'lláh, p. 138.

'Abdu'l-Bahá: Bahá'u'lláh is the King of Kings

 "Bahá'u'lláh was in reality no prisoner, but a King of Kings." 'Abdu'l-Bahá quoted in Bahá'u'lláh and the New Era (1937), p. 47.

'Abdu'l-Bahá: All Will Perish Through The Spiritual Disease of Violation of the Bahá'í Covenant

  ..The brothers of His Holiness Christ came to Him and it was said, “These are your brothers.”   He answered that His brothers were those who believed in God, and refused to associate with His own brothers… His Holiness Christ did not exercise despotism in the case of Judas Iscariot and His own brothers, but they separated themselves.   In short, the point is this: ‘Abdu’l-Bahá is extremely kind, but when the disease is leprosy, what am I to do? …One must protect and safeguard the blessed souls from the breaths and fatal spiritual diseases, otherwise violation, like the plague, will become a contagion and all will perish.                                                         ...

'Abdu'l-Bahá: Ignorance Destroys the "Fort of God"

Shoghi Effendi: "Treacherous Ruhi Afnan" - Cablegram, May 17, 1953

 "Treacherous Ruhi Afnan, not content with previous disobedience, correspondence with Ahmad Sohrab, contact with old Covenant-breakers, sale, in conjunction with other members of family, of sacred property purchased by Founder of Faith, and allowing his siter to marry son of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's enemy, is now openly lecturing on Bahá'í movement, claiming to be its exponent and is misrepresenting the teachings and deliberately causing to be its exponent and is misrepresenting the teachings and deliberately causing confusion in minds of authorities and the local population.  Inform National Assemblies."  ––SHOGHI  [Cablegram, May 17, 1953] Why does the current, apostate Bahá'í Faith endorse the 'Ruhi Institute'?  Poor Shoghi Effendi's work is destroyed through  the rampant violation of the Faith for which he sacrificed 36 years of his life.  In His final cable to the United States, 'Abdu'l-Bahá explicitly states, "HE WHO SITS WITH LEPER CA...
