Wayfarer's tales revived, maybe

I might start posting here again, now and then. I've enabled comments, and fixed two broken links.

How to find common ground with feuding Baha'is?

In the past, in my relationships with people who claim allegiance to Baha'u'llah while continually depreciating what the House of Justice is promoting, and with their detractors, thinking of them as followers of Baha'u'llah has repeatedly led me to dead ends, contradictions, frustrations and confusion. I might give that up for a while. Taking their stated motives and purposes at face value also led me to dead ends, contradictions, frustrations and confusion. I might give that up for a while, too.

Where does that leave me? I don't know. Maybe try to find some common interests, possibly unrelated to Baha'u'llah, by trial and error. Maybe look for some enduring interests in their conversations, that interest me, and range farther and wider in discussing my own interests.
