Hello! I was a Bahai in the 70s. I became a Bahai in college and was extremely active. I became disillusioned with the administrative end of the Faith. I agree with what many have said who have left the Faith. It seems so much effort went into teaching and administration and there was little time for deepening one's faith. I find the Feast very unsatisfying and joyless. They were boring. It wasn't uplifting to listen to someone read Scripture. I missed music and flowers and beautiful windows. I think the absence of paid clergy makes the demands on the average believer too much.

What really surprised me after reading what people said on these pages is that the Faith has been so interested in peoples' personal lives.

I am now a Christian and feel content. I like the fact that Christians are actually trying to help people with problems. They have soup kitchens, homeless shelters, etc. What do the Bahais do for the needy?
