Baha’ism from the viewpoint of Baha'i critics and intellectuals Part 9 Steve Marshall

Steve Marshall is a writer, thinker, critic, and Baha'i intellectual. He was attracted to Baha'i social teachings from 1972, when he was just over fifteen; and by1994, for 22 years, he was an active member of the NewZealand Baha'i community. Since 1994, after contacting Baha’i intellectuals and posting them on the Talismanvirtual forum, he was suspected as a leader of the opposing Baha’is by the Baha’I leadership in Haifa (Bait al-Adl).Then he was unofficially expelled from the Baha'i community. In 2000, by order of the House of Justice, Steve Marshall's wife, Alison, was officially expelled from the Baha'i community “as a result of her criticizing the House of Justice, and communicating and defending intellectual Baha'is.” This was a wake-up call for Steve Marshall, who could be fired out if his critical stance would continues. Steve and his wife, Alison, have been critical of the Baha'i leadership and have criticized the Baha'i Faith and the teachings of the Baha'is in various writings.
