The Baha’ism cult emphasizes on proselytizing kids in favor of the Baha’ism creed. However, it prevents its followers to proselytize and debate with the aware people!
Concerning kids, it is mentioned in the holy Imam’s (P.H.) statements such as Imam Hassan Mojtaba (P.H.):
“… وَ اِنَّما قلبُ الْحَدَثِ کَالاَْرْضِ الْخالیةِ ما اُلْقِیَ فیها مِنْ شیءٍ قَبِلَتْهُ”[۱]
“The teenagers’ hearts resemble virgin land. They will accept what is cultivated.”
So, the Baha’i leaders and proselytizers have misused the kids and have assigned a remarkable part of their capacity for their evangelical proselytizing. The kids and teenagers; so it has been said in one of the messages of the Baha’i organization:
“In all stages, the Baha’i community is sensitive about the requirement for answering the kids’ spiritual aims and ideal … In recent years, the educational institutions have played vital roles in educating instructors to hold the educational classes and the kids’ spiritual education across the world… The educational materials are increasing the understanding of the participants year by year. Lessons related to history and works of the Baha’i creed are being added to them. The Baha’i institutions consider it important to providing human resources to hold kids’ classes; so remarkable resources have been assigned to establish and continue on effective coordination system for educating instructors and it also opens courses for gifts, distribution of educational materials and exchanging learning between institutions and people.[2]”
It is obvious that the Baha’ism cult is emphasizing on the proselytizing on the basis of evangelical one. Basically; in this cult, proselytizing is general and compulsory: “The most important issue is proselytizing for God’s faith (Baha’ism)… Each divine disciple is responsible not to rest day and night and to preach God’s blessings.[3]”
However, Baha’is are being prevented to proselytize or argue with those who are of aware of Baha’ism inanity. In order to justify the prohibition of debating with these who are aware of Baha’ism inanity, Abdul Baha says: “Don’t spend your time mentioning the ignorant (the aware opponents of Baha’ism) and don’t spend your time removing the doubts of the deviant because lifetime’s days are dearer than that.[4]”
