He then continued His Mission in a body/temple until natural death. That makes this dispensation unique and the focal point of prophecy.

So far they have refused to explain why they treated a believer in such a despicable manner. Both to her and to others. Believe me, many Baha'is wrote to the House because they were troubled by the decision, as did Alison herself. Yet there is a complete and utter refusal to give an explanation beyond the legalese mumbo-jumbo which they wrote in the original message of unenrollment. I can understand them not responding to third parties, but to not respond and clarify what specific behavior or pattern of behaviors, or words caused them to arrive at such a conclusion is simply not just. As the old legal saying goes: Justice must not only be done. It must be seen to be done. And in this case the House of Justice falls short.

Yes, I can understand that my blog entry might have given the impression that you censored comments. I thought I was simply explaining why the comment was not showing. However, I didn't know what you would do. I am used to being ignored. But, in any case, I have changed the wording on my blog and removed that line. Alison Gerald,

I do not however censor views that disagree with me, and most of all not legitimate criticisms. Your blog post seemed to indicate that you did not expect me to accept the comment. Alison,
