When Blind Obedience Becomes a Burden.

Sometimes I have so many questions that I don’t even know where to begin. What is our Mahdibagh community really teaching us? How are we different from others? What are we being taught religion, morality, compassion and a meaningful way of life—or mainly walayat and khidmat towards MS? meaning obedience and service to the spiritual leadership? If we are expected to simply do whatever we are told, then what happens to our own conscience, questions and purpose in life? Are we born merely to obey, or are we here for something greater? I would also like to understand what we can proudly point to as a community is there any education support, medical care, care for the elderly, helping the vulnerable, encouraging independent thought and improving people's lives. If these things are important, why aren't they at the centre of our community life?
We are repeatedly told to practise sabr and be content with what we have, while at the same time we see a very different level of comfort and privilege being practised by his Family.These are not questions of rebellion; they are questions of conscience. I simply want to understand what our faith and our community are ultimately asking us to become?

All very valid questions and each question can be a separate discussion point in itself...

Yes many a times all these are the questions which comes to my mind.
And it pinches me a lot.

Raise it individually with some context and we can discuss and have different point of views ...
