<Shaheen_> hey boogo you are back!
<Shaheen_> Everyone seemed to leave all of a sudden!

<Justin1> That's fine. We can talk about that aspect too.
<boogo> Lets talk about the youths.
<Justin1> I'm 16 years old. Born a Baha'i. Signed my card when I was 15.
<Shaheen_> I find it kinda off rude/pushy/ and also it makes uncomfortable!
<Justin1> I've found that a good way to do it is invite the person to something.
<Shaheen_> that is about door-door!

<Justin1> He left... :-(
<boogo> Here, we haven't done much door to door teaching.
<Justin1> Ok, about youth. That's fine.

<Justin1> Hello again.
<Shaheen_> what happened?
<Justin1> A net split.
<boogo> Hi shaheen
<Justin1> When the IRC servers get to busy and divide up.
<Shaheen_> oh well I was kinda off why did everyone leave?
<boogo> I am still here.
<Justin1> I don't know.

<Justin1> Net splits are very annoying.
<boogo> That's fast.
<boogo> I agree with you.
<Justin1> :-).

<visa> Hi Kk11 and godess
<Mehran> Always, saying that your religion is the only one that gives equal statu o women and all
<Mehran> status to..
<visa> Mehran, what are you talking about?
<Luobi> Mehran: Every religion has some teachings which are relevant for the particular time and place.
<Luobi> Mehran: And equality of the sexes is very relevant today.
-> *luobi* Somethings, I think, we should just let be. And medal in these destructive matters. Just be careful.
-> *luobi* BUt, you're doing good.
<Luobi> Mehran: In bringing about the unity of humanity and establishing peace.
-> *luobi* I meant and NOT medal in these descructive matters.

<kk11> hello anyone home

<hensley> I'm home
<kevin> Yes I am still here.  
<Luobi> Hi kk1.
<godess> kk11..yes I am still here

<BARRINGT> Mehran, I don't think it possible for a Baha'i to compare Shi'ite Islam to Nazi's as our genesis is technically out of Shi'ite Islam
<godess> kk11 are you a Bahai?
<visa> Hi, I'm home.

<kk11> Godess: Yes I am.  Allah'u'abha
<Luobi> Mehran: Are you still there?
<godess> kk11 Allah'u'abha to yu..

<kevin> Mehran, we are working to bring peace and learn how to appreciate one another.
<visa> Mehran, can you tell me more about your religen?

<godess> Mehran I love this faith, ever since I declared I felt wonderful..I was a catholic. and a very strong one..But this faith change my views..
<hensley> Tallyho.  Time for sleep.  I look forward to chatting with all of you again!

<godess> hensley bye.
<Luobi> Hensley: Good night! (12:50 pm here, :-))
<kk11> Godess where you living.

<godess> kk11...Guam
-> *godess* Sometimes, it may be best to just leave some matters alone. I don't think Mehran is very receptive.
<simba_:#baha'i> Hello jason1

<godess> I agree.
>#baha'i> Hello all.
<kk11> Oh amazing, isnt there a real high % of Baha'is in the population there?
<visa> godess, were you on earlyer tonight?

<kevin> Mehran, I am not that familiar with your religion and maybe we could find something in common.

<kevin> Hi simba
<Luobi> Hello Simba.
<godess> Hello Simba
<simba_> hello
<visa> Hi Simba.
<kk11> Simba have you watched : Lion King?
<simba_> everyone
-> *kevin* Purhaps, at this point it is better to leave this matter alone. Sometimes such teaching activities can become destructive.
<simba_> Yes I have.  That is why I am simba!
<visa> Have you kk11?
<godess> kk11 I should state the pecentage is low but increasing, 
<Luobi> Are you a Baha'i, simba?

<kk11> Simba where are you at.
<kevin> I came from a Christian background and now I love Christ even more as a Baha'i.

<shaheen_> yes I am. I was on earlier and I had to go But am back!
<kk11> Visa: Ya I watched it in Zimbabwe this summer and loved it.
<Luobi> So, I think Mehran gave up on us.
<visa> Me too kk11.
<kevin> Hi Shaheen,  
<shaheen_> I am from Florida!
> At Gods will I beleive.
<godess> Luobi come on everyone is entitledd to there oppinions.
<shaheen_> hello kevin.
<visa> Mehran, are you home?
<kk11> It is real sad the nonsense that they are pumped with.
<Luobi> godess: Sorry, you're right.

<shaheen_> hey justin I am back!
> Hello shaheen.
<visa> He shaheen_
<kevin> Visa, I think she left..
<shaheen_> I talked to Amanda and she also says hi justin.
<kk11> By the way MEhran is a guys name!!
> kk11: I don't really think *I* could, say that they are pumped with any nonsense. It's just an opposing beleif.
<godess> Luobi, as long she has not turned away against the faith, she mentions that she studied the faith..
<kevin> Sound like a girl to me.  The only Merhan I know in person is a lady.
<visa> kevin, what were you guys talking about?
<godess> Shaheen hello thre.
> Shaheen: Who is Amanda?
<godess> kevin please explain shortlly...
<Luobi> godess: I think he may have some misconceptions, though.
<kk11> Justin1 No justin, believe me they are pumped with it.  Persian muslims are taught  to hate the faith from childhhood and told all these sad lies..
<shaheen_> Hello godess.  Could you fill in what was talked about before I came on?
<shaheen_> Justin: Amanda Repess, Mojdeh's friend!
<godess> Luobi But still he mention it...recognition
> kk11: Like I said *I* don't know. Obviously something is wrong, but I'm not versed enough to really elaberate on it.
<visa> kk11, you sound like Parham.
<godess> Shaheen kevin knows more ask him
<kevin> I am not surprise to hear that.
<BARRINGT> everyone: The information about the English creating the Faith is a topic that has been under heavy discussion on the Soc.Islam forum for the past couple ogf months
<shaheen_> Kevin what happened?
<kk11> visa: We were brought up together, I have lived with him all my life.  By the way he sounds like me.... :-)
> shaheen: Ah, ok. I don't remember Mojdeh talking about her.
