2) They claim that a person is allowed to enter and leave the Bahá'í faith as they choose. However, if you were to leave the Bahá'í faith, other Bahá'ís would be STRONGLY encouraged to not communicate with you, possibly with consequences if they do.
And yes, I know I don't have solid evidence to back this up. Like I said, I'm remembering this from a class a year and a half ago.

Thanks, that was interesting.
I don't doubt for a minute that the people of this particular sect may leave people a little uneasy.
The idea fascinated me more than the religion itself. I've never heard of the idea of many messengers for one big man (or woman). It seemed unique to me - but it seems from the posts so far that alot of people are familiar with the concept.
