I would personally extend my
congratulations to the Bahá’í Community of New Zealand for upholding the truth.
It stands out distinctly from other Bahá’í communities in the world who prefer
being in good books of Universal House of Justice at cost of true Bahá’í
Values.
The New Zealand Bahá’í community
has taken a landmark step of acknowledging, for the first time in Bahá’í
history, a reverse growth in numbers of Faith members, in agreement with the
official census.
Following are interesting trends as per the latest official census of
Government of New Zealand.

In Seven Years (From 2006 to 2013) The Bahá’í population has DECREASED
by 5%.
In last Seventeen years (From 1996 to 2013) The Bahá’í population has DECREASED
by 15%. WHAT A GREAT ENTRY BY TROOP!!!!
This census also exposes the Bahá’í Administration false claim that the
Bahá’í Faith is the fastest growing Religion in the world. It is the most
widespread Religion after Christianity and so on. Earlier to this the Bahá’í
census was exposed in India, Pakistan, Iran Russia, UK, US and now New Zealand.
The downtrend was predicted by me
a couple of years ago when the Universal House of Justice declared Ruhi
curriculum for propagation. The history of Bahá’í Faith history has never seen
such a forerunner of failure than the Ruhi curriculum. The boringly longish
Ruhi Books are sufficient to make a hyper-active Bahá’í dormant, what say about
those recently induced.
If you are lucky to have an
attractive instructor, you would stay awake a bit longer; else you are
guaranteed slumber in 10 minutes.
A Tribute to late Mr. Peter Khan
Mr. Peter Khan the former Member
of the House was tortured (mentally) by the New Zealand Baha'i community as he
was greatly disturbed by few letters written by Bahá’ís to Universal House of
Justice. May this has contributed to his sufferings and may be this and some
other pressures lead to his dying in Australia.
Now after reading the Official Bahá’í Census of New Zealand and a
downward trend indicated by it, if a few more members of Universal House of
Justice do not succumb to this news then the Bahá’í credentials of these
members have to be thoroughly checked. Or we will be forced to acknowledge that
these members are more interested in Business rather than progress of the Bahá’í
Faith. They did not accept the Bahá’í Faith but only changed their line of
Business.
Excerpts from a talk given by Peter Khan
National Teaching Conference, Auckland, New Zealand, June 2000
Excerpt 1:
The House of Justice has been appalled in
recent weeks to receive vitriolic, nasty, vicious letters from New Zealand
Baha’is concerned about actions the House of Justice took with regard to a believer
from the South Island. I’m sure you are aware of it. These letters are not
many, there are a few of them, but they’re probably the worst letters I have
ever seen written to the House of Justice and they came from people who are
part of the New Zealand Baha’i community. That, if nothing more, is an
indication of the need for a far greater attention to this issue in this
country as well as in other countries. New Zealand surely doesn’t want to go
down in Baha’i history as the community that has produced such nasty
correspondence. Correspondence of such a kind that I am embarrassed to have my
secretary see it because of the kind of language that it uses. Anyhow, be that
as it may, it’s their spiritual problem and they will deal with Baha’u'llah as
they wish. But the point is that here it is an indication that something is
fundamentally wrong with the Baha’i community in this country in terms of its
depth of understanding of the covenant and the authority of the institutions of
the Faith. What you take as normal is not normal, but abnormal.

What is normal is to have in a
Baha'i community a number of Baha'is who are very knowledgeable about the
covenant who can share their insights with others so that the entire community
has a good knowledge of the covenant and follows it. And if that is not done,
then what I foresee in the future in New Zealand is more of the same - more
vitriol, more foulness, more people rebelling against that crowd of kill-joys
in Haifa who call themselves the Universal House of Justice and what do they
know and this kind of stuff. That is what I see in the future in this country
unless there is sharp, urgent and prolonged attention to a far greater
deepening and understanding of the covenant."
Excerpt 2:
"So, how close is humanity
to achieving the Lesser Peace? It is being born before us. Just as the local
and national assemblies are maturing before us, and the establishment of the
administrative system on Mount Carmel is being accomplished before our eyes.
The present phase is coming to its conclusion in the next few months, but
there’s a lot more to be done in the decades to come during the new, the 21st
century.
Related to that is the question:
“I’m still waiting for the unseen calamity by the end of the 20th century. Are
we still getting it?” I’ve got news for you folks, you’ve got it. This stuff
going on in New Zealand at the present time, if this is not a calamity, what
is? Would you rather lose your spiritual life and your spiritual condition and
go through all eternity spiritually crippled by this? Is that worse or better
than the physical calamity of having your house blown up or having a war occur
or something like that? Our values are spiritual. The things we value most are
spiritual things. We are facing spiritual tests and a spiritual calamity is before
us. And one of the things I wanted to do this morning is to alert you to my
understanding that the Baha’is in New Zealand are facing the very real prospect
of a spiritual calamity unless urgent and immediate measures are taken."
