142-Year-Old Man discovered!

Headline: 142-Year-Old Man discovered!
How likely is it that you would believe such a headline?
If a man was born in 1855, in 2007, he would be 142! Do the math. Believe!
OK, there is a catch … the man is no longer alive.
He was “discovered” in a cemetery.

In a similar manner, thousands of seemingly intelligent people have been fooled.
See if you can detect the catch in this scenario:
Each quote is from the same man from the same document which is his Will and Testament.
“And now, concerning the House of Justice which God hath ordained as the source of all good and freed from all error, it must be elected by universal suffrage, that is, by the believers.”
Are the believers the only persons composing this House of Justice?
“By this body all the difficult problems are to be resolved and the Guardian of the Cause of God is its sacred head and the distinguished member for life of that body. Should he not attend in person its deliberations, he must appoint one to represent him.”
Did you find the catch? The Guardian is a member for life.
When the Guardian is dead, he can’t attend in person.
Before he is dead, he must appoint some one to represent him.

When walking through a cemetery, you may discover a 142-year-old man.
When examining a sect of the Baha’i faith, you may discover they have a House of Justice without a living Guardian. The blessed and infallible Shoghi Effendi (who was the Guardian) died in 1957.

So what?
“It is incumbent upon . . . the Hands of the Cause of God to show their obedience, submissiveness and subordination unto the Guardian of the Cause of God, to turn unto him and be lowly before him. He that opposeth him hath opposed the True One,”
Why would Baha’i’s risk opposing God trying to interpret that they still have a Guardian?
Doesn’t the Will and Testament quoted above indicate the Guardian must be alive?
I think Baha’i’s have been hoodwinked by the Hands who do not want to be subordinate to a Guardian.
I think the Hands have made up a theology they like better than to be obedient to a Guardian.
I think the Hands don’t encourage people to read the Will and Testament for themselves.
I think a Baha’i sect without a living Guardian is a covenant-breaking sect.

“What deviation can be greater than breaking the Covenant of God! What deviation can be greater than interpolating and falsifying the words and verses of the Sacred Text,”

(All quotes taken from ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s Will and Testament which can be found on page 140 of the pdf found at http://www.bupc.org/Most-Mighty-Document.pdf)
I encourage you to read his will and verify that the quotes above are indeed those of ‘Abdul-Baha.

Baha’u'llah’s Prophecy of 9-11

Baha’u'llah knew that 9-11 was going to happen. He foretold of the event in this Verse:

The world is in travail, and its agitation waxeth day by day. Its face is turned towards waywardness and unbelief. Such shall be its plight, that to disclose it now would not be meet and seemly. Its perversity will long continue. And when the appointed hour is come, there shall suddenly appear that which shall cause the limbs of mankind to quake. Then, and only then, will the Divine Standard be unfurled, and the Nightingale of Paradise warble its melody. (Baha’u'llah: Gleanings, Pages: 118-119)

9-11 was that “appointed hour” which would “cause the limbs of mankind to quake.”

But the real question should be, what is the Divine Standard that was unfurled?

You can see the Divine Standard here.
