<JustinHst> Hello1
<JustinHst> Hello!
<ika> hi!
<JustinHst> Are you a Baha'i?
<ika> no I am not... Justin... I think I have talked you before.. have I?
<JustinHst> Possibly. I "host" these weekly meetings on IRC.
<ika> oh:)
<ika> oh! Monday!
<JustinHst> heh, yes.
<ika> Is there anyone else?
<JustinHst> So, what do you already know about the Baha'i Faith?
<ika> ah... I went to Maxwell for four years so quite a few things :)
<JustinHst> Not yet. Sometimes some other Baha'is drop in, actually most of the time others drop in.
<JustinHst> But, I guess today many are busy.
<JustinHst> Oh, ok. I remember you now!
<ika> I think so too...
<ika> oh good :)
<JustinHst> :-)
<JustinHst> You go to Mcgill now?
<ika> that's right :)
<JustinHst> Are you of Japanese decent?
<ika> I am Japanese... I mean 100% Japanese :)
<JustinHst> :-), neat.

<ika> where are you from?
<ika> hi bircflog!

> No specifics under that heading.
<ika> nice to meet you peter :)

<tsutomu> peter: topic is... don't know... ask the host :)
<peterM> I tryed to get on last week but someone kept killing me
<tsutomu> peter: sorry to hear that.... I think I was studying last monday...
> That shouldn't happen. If you know who killed you please let me know.
<peterM> Well I don't think it was on #bahai, I think someone on another channel
-tEa:$irc-2.mit.edu- Just a quick reminder that BOTs are not allowed on irc-2.mit.edu.  This has been an AUTOMATED GLOBAL MESSAGE, the management.
> oh, ok.
<peterM> Is there any non Baha'is here ?
<tsutomu> peter: I am not :)
> I'm a Baha'i. Tsutomu is not, however he did go to Maxell! :-)

<peterM> Wow, I know someone who went to Maxwell
<JustinHst> JustinHst = BIRCFLog.
<tsutomu> I was there until last year... I went there for four years... long time...
<JustinHst> I've been interested in going to Maxell, but I'm addicted to the Baha'i Youth Workshop here (:-)) and really don't want to leave!
<peterM> Is the Baha'i Youth Workshop based in the Phoenix area ?
<tsutomu> justin: I understand:) Maxwell is nice but too many pwople say it's good...
<tsutomu> justin: so when people go there some people get disapointed
<JustinHst> I'm in the Charlotte, North Carolina B.Y.W.
<JustinHst> Tsutomu: Yeah, I've heard that.
<JustinHst> Peter: There is going to be a major Baha'i Youth conference in Phoenix however. :-)
<peterM> JustinHst: Yes I live in Tucson and I might got up to the conferance for a day

<peterM> tsutomu: What made you attend Maxwell then ?
<tsutomu> peter: I just wanted to study English.. not because of Baha'i Faith
<tsutomu> although I am glad that I went to Maxwell :)
<peterM> tsutomu: Where are you from originally ?
<tsutomu> I am from Hiroshima Japan :)
<tsutomu> I didn't want to study in Japan that's another rason I came to Canada
<peterM> tsutomu: Is there many Baha'is in Japan ?
<tsutomu> not many compare to North America... but there are many.... 

<tsutomu> I went to the Baha'i summer school there were about 200 people... biggest summer school ever

<peterM> Wow I'd love to go to any bahai summerschool, just don't seem to have time
<tsutomu> peter: I see... do you work?
<peterM> Yes, I work and go to school when I have time and money
<tsutomu> I see... 
<peterM> Tell me some of your impressions of the Baha'i faith
<tsutomu> ah....

<tsutomu> I like it very much I thought about becoming a baha'i many times... might declare in near future... don't know if i will

> What has kept you from declaring?

> If you don't mind me asking.
<tsutomu> I don't know... I thought I should talk to my parents about it but never did

<peterM> I think Justin maybe having some of the problems I had last week, can;t seem to stay on very long

> Yeah, I am. One of the servers I'm using is not working well.

<peterM> BIRCFlog: Yes, some systems that run SCO seem to be really flaky with connections to my system.
> hmmm.

> Bad night to be on IRC, I guess. :-)
<peterM> I run a Baha'i oriented unix access system here, I'm dissappointed to say that I've found little interest from the local Baha'is, any thoughts on this ?
