This is the Conversation Forum for Tahirih: The Pure One Bahai >> Subject: Visionaries Posted Apr 1, 2000 by J'au-æmne Princess of Darkness   Posting 1 How widespread is this faith today? Because I'd never heard of it before.... Tahirih sounds visionary, or something more... but I don't have a word... sorry. joanna Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Visionaries Posted Apr 2, 2000 by Irving Washington -- Inhabitant of a full house. This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 2 It was said she had second sight. She saw the words of the Bab in her dreams. The Baha'i (also spelled B'hai) faith is the second most widespread religion (in terms of geography covered) in the world. As it was founded in the 1800s, it's still a fairly new religion, and according to my fellow cast members, they don't even have an official sabath day yet. BTW -- I've already discovered an error in my article: According to a book handed out to each cast member last night our musician, Tahirih did, indeed, have brothers. My article assumed she didn't 'cause I figgured her father wouldn't have educated her if he'd had a son. ~Irving Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Visionaries Posted Apr 2, 2000 by Irving Washington -- Inhabitant of a full house.

This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 5 Yes. What a life. Anyway, if you've got questions about the Baha'i faith, feel free to ask. I can do some specifics, but I don't feel like tackling the whole thing as an article... yet ~Irving Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Visionaries Posted Apr 9, 2003 by Oot Rito This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 6 Every 19th day is a feast day Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Visionaries Posted Apr 19, 2003 by Researcher 225380 This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 7 On this monday it is also a the start of a holy time, ridvan. Bahaís belive that all religions come from the same god, i.e mohammad and christ and buddah etc all revealed truths and messages from god that were especially relevant to the time that they were around (until the next messanger came). Baha'is believe that Baha'u'llah is the messengaer of god for our time, but we are taught to embrace the other religions, as they all developed from the same source. Sorry, that is only a small part of the beliefs, but the one which I feel is most important to me, to find out more the best thing is to look in a book, but i will answer any specific questions (if i can) Subject: Visionaries Posted Apr 7, 2005 by TangoDream This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 8 Are you a Baha'i? I was given a book of her poetry as a gift. It is wonderful. Conversation list Most of the content on h2g2 is created by h2g2's Researchers, who are members of the public.
