This morning I looked at Baha'is Online to see if any more of my articles had been posted there, and I saw this from a Baha'i blog:

I could not help but think about what makes a person a good Baha'i or not. Auxiliary Board members have to do what Taubes did, they have long interviews with believers who are on the border between resignation, "dis-enrollment" or breaking the Covenant.

My mind started racing again. "What to do, what to do?" I've given up all hope of people who behave that way changing their behavior. I thought some more about writing to all the Baha'i bloggers I can find, about practicing and promoting better behavior on the Internet. I also did some soul searching about my motives. For a while I thought that I was more concerned about how the behavior of some Baha'is might look, than about the harm it does. Then I remembered that besides the harmfulness of it, it's partly about the divisiveness in it, and partly about moral leadership.

After a while I calmed down, and just saw it as confirmation of the need to practice and promote better behavior. I want to continue to develop the Web pages, then write to as many bloggers as I can, Baha'is and others.

I was also thinking about what good behavior needs to be associated with. I'm thinking now it's turning to Baha'u'llah, and it needs to be framed in a variety of ways, to help people see the spirit of it. Following Him, learning from Him and serving His interests, learning to trust Him. The idea is that to see Baha'u'llah's influence, what people need to look at is not members of the Baha'i Faith, or people who profess certain beliefs, but people who have turned to Baha'u'llah, people who trust Him, follow Him, learn from Him and try to serve His interests.
