It was Mason Remey's attempt to get a judgement against the NSA that
created all of these legal problems to begin with. Now Jeffrey wants
to argue that such court cases are contrary to the Teachings. He can
do that, of course, but he is thereby contradicting the actions of a
man he claims to have been the rightful Guardian. And according to
Shoghi Effendi Guardians are supposed to be infallible in matters of
protection.
I'm not sure I agree with the Judge's finding that the subsequent
Remeyite organizations were not formed to avoid the court order. I
think it likely that Joel M.'s split with Mason Remey was in part a
response to Remey's refusal to appeal the court order against them. If
you read the court documents it is pretty clear that this court order
made it virtually impossible for Remeyites to function in the US. I'm
sure that caused Joel M. and Fred S. no end of frustration. But of
course this is hard to prove and would only apply to the so-called
Orthodox Baha'is and not the BUPC.
