Wrong Bahai Census claimed by Bahai Administration

Shalom Scott in one of his observation said that,  "During my time as a Baha'i, I saw potential converts lied to by Baha'is regarding the membership of the Faith. The Baha'is, especially the Baha'i leadership, have always grossly inflated the 'official' numbers in order to present an inaccurate picture to the world (as well as to individuals considering conversion) and to make the Faith seem much more successful and influential than it really is.

Membership of Bahai Faith in UK is not different from other countries, as declining trend continues.

 This is another communication in a series of communications posted earlier on the fraudulent claims of the Bahai Faith members.




We were deceived by the numbers through the 1980's till 2010 when the official census of India was carried out. As per the same there were not more than 12000 Bahais, whereas the Bahai members proclaimed number as 2 million. When this lie was exposed, the Bahai Faith members became defensive and popularized an excuse that many Faith members do not identify themselves due to social pressures.

US Baha'i Numbers Declining at Miserable Rate

Some interesting statistics concerning a cult that claims to have growing following in the world and hopes to convert the whole world one day to their ideology thereby bring peace. 

Yes, this cult is popularly advertised as Bahai Faith.  

So while the Bahai Faith claims at huge success in bringing mankind to their fold, the reality is different. In a recent confidential survey done by the Bahai Faith, following trend was seen: 







The US Annual Report for 2022, page 19, states that the NSA Stat office generates the community stats, while the rest of the annual report (Regional and local areas) gets its data from the SRP.

 

The US Bahai numbers are dropping at the rate of 300 Bahais per year.

 So, at this rate after twenty years they can be counted by hand.

 Another point to be noted is that bad addresses are on rise. Does it mean many of those so-called members of the faith are bogus entries?

 Few other conclusions can be derived from below trend:



 In a massive country like USA, adult new believers are presently 400 in 2022 down from 550 a couple of years ago. So the maths is simple, 400 new believers less 500 bad addresses means a further negative trend of 100. So possible decline could be as high as 400 per year.

 Time has come for the Universal House of Justice to accept  the reality and stop parroting that Bahai Faith is the fastest growing Faith. Rather it can be called as the fastest vanishing man-made Faith. 

Projecting Exaggerated and Wrong Census of Baha'is - A Well Thought Strategy of Baha'i Leaders

There has always been confusion in the Population of the Baha'i Faith followers in every country, since its ORIGIN. Regarding their numbers, "Millions" is the usual figure claimed by them.

Very recently Baha’is are also interested in giving Fake ‘percentage Baha’i population’ for every country. Thanks to the internet – their lie is getting exposed. The number of countries and localities varies with each web site. There is ‘no consensus’ regarding the actual number of countries, the actual number of localities, and the actual number of Baha’i. This trouble in the Baha’i population is not generated by the Baha’i Administration themselves but it is just the continuation of what Abdul Baha and Shoghi Effendi have done.


How many Baha'is are in India ?

Official Census  by Indian Government states that there are 4572 Baha'is in India.



Recently retreived Baha'i censuses from several countries exposes Baha'i lies more...

"During my time as a Baha'i, I saw potential converts lied to by Baha'is regarding the membership of the Faith. The Baha'is, especially the Baha'i leadership, have always grossly inflated the 'official' numbers in order to present an inaccurate picture to the world (as well as to individuals considering conversion) and to make the Faith seem much more successful and influential than it really is. " --Scott

Professor Juan Cole of the University of Michigan commented in April 2001 that, since 1968, 50% of the people who entered the bahai faith have left it. According to him, the usual figure for most Christian denominations is approximately 80% retention, meaning about only 20% decide to leave once they become a member. See Professor Cole's comment below that even 5 million Baha'is worldwide is exaggerated by the Baha'i administration.

Baha'is of India lost 1 million membership !

Baha'is of India have always exaggerated their figure in order to achieve minority status in the country. Baha'is used to claim that they are 2.2 millions in India while official census of India states that they are just 4572.


Baha'i Censuses from several countries exposes Baha'i lies more...


A.Wrong Bahai Census claimed by Bahai Adminstration

Shalom Scott in one of his observation said that,  "During my time as a Baha'i, I saw potential converts lied to by Baha'is regarding the membership of the Faith. The Baha'is, especially the Baha'i leadership, have always grossly inflated the 'official' numbers in order to present an inaccurate picture to the world (as well as to individuals considering conversion) and to make the Faith seem much more successful and influential than it really is. 

Absolutely False Baha’i Census of India !!

People lie all the time even to themselves and surprisingly, it does work! Self-deception is a process of denying or rationalizing away the relevance, significance, or importance of opposing evidence and logical argument. Self-deception involves convincing oneself of a truth or lack of truth so that one does not reveal any self-knowledge of the deception. When it comes to Baha’i census it breaks all the barriers of deception. 

Bahai lies exposed in US census too !!

Bahais claim that there are 1,75,000 Baha’is in US. But the official census says something else. The official census of United States  says that “there were 28,000 Baha’is in US in 1990, then in 2001 it figure went up to 84,000 (entry by troops?) then again in 2008 it dropped down to 49000 (exodus by troops!)”.

New Zealand Bahá’í Community upholds the truth

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.

Religion   
1996
2006
2013
Bahá’ís
3104
2772
2637

In Seven Years (From 2006 to 2013) The Bahá’í population has DECREASED by 5%.

Bahá'í census is a skewed fiction.




If one surfs the NET he is bound to come across such slogans like, “Bahá'í Faith the fastest growing Religion”, “Bahá'í Faith the most widespread Religion”, “Bahá'í Faith the most comfortable Religion” so on and so forth. These slogans are nothing but skewed fiction inserted by Bahá'í Administration itself.

The claim of seven million Bahá'ís across the world with 2.2 millions in India has been deflated by Official Census of Government of India.

THE CASE OF INDIA

Though the Bahá'í records of the data on Bahá'í population of India shows that one time it had crossed two millions yet the Census of India reports of 1971, 1981, 1991 and 2001 show only a fraction of the total number Bahá'ís throughout the country. This means that the census department of India fumbled four times to give accurate number of Bahá'ís. Just to cite an example, Bahá'í census figures in 1991 was 5575 and in 2001 it was 11,324 against 2.2 millions claimed by the Bahá'í administration.


UK Census 2011, exposes the false Claims of Bahá’ís

There are only 5021 Bahá’ís in UK against claimed to be more then 34,000. Adherents of the Baha’i Faith increased to 5,021 from 4,645 in the 2001 census. that is an annual 0.78% growth per year. Put more simply, between 37-38 new Baha’is have been added per year since 2001. I’m not sure that you can call that ‘growth’ it is slightly higher than the general population growth of 0.70% per year. Which means nobody has accepted the Bahai Faith in the last ten years except the children of Bahai parents.

One hundred years ago, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, the son of the Founder of the Bahá’í Faith, arrived in the United Kingdom for the first of his two visits. He was 66 years old. He wasted no time in taking His Father Bahá’u’lláh’s message of peace and religious renewal to western societies. His visits were crucial in the establishment of the Bahá’í Faith in the UK. In London, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá gave public lectures at City Temple, St John the Divine in Smith Square, and elsewhere. At City Temple, he said that, “The gift of God to this enlightened age is the knowledge of the oneness of mankind and of the fundamental oneness of religion.” At St John, the translation of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s remarks was read by the Archdeacon of Westminster, Albert Wilberforce.

Conversion Classes in India

The Baha'is teaching Baha'i prayers in their moral (Conversion) classes in India. Although deceptive conversion is banned in India and many times the Baha'is have been warned and taken to the police.
