Is it not a blatant paradox...
During the ministry of Shoghi Effendi all Bahá'ís knew that one of the essential conditions that had been prescribed by Shoghi Effendi for being accepted as an enrolled believer was faithful adherence to every clause of the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Bahá-"the Center of the Covenant"-and believed that fidelity on the part of the believer to the Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh required nothing less than faithful, complete and steadfast adherence to every clause of this "Charter of the New World Order."
Is it not a blatant paradox that, since the passing of Shoghi Effendi, that the sans-Guardian, and therefore headless, illegitimate and so-called Universal House of Justice has now so perverted the meaning of fidelity to the Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh that they now ludicrously label as Covenant-breakers those believers who have continued to faithfully and steadfastly adhere to every clause of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's divinely-conceived, sacred and immortal Will and Testament-a part of the explicit Holy Text-whereas, in marked contrast, it is they, who in their abandonment of the Guardianship, have thereby faithlessly declared major clauses of this Will and Testament null and void and have, in consequence, undeniably become themselves the arch-breakers of the Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh?
